Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular)[2] (English: Indian People's Front), abbreviated HAM(S), is an Indian political party with a presence in Bihar. In Bihar, this party is also a natural Allies of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) similar to Janata Dal (United). It received a new election symbol, the wok, for the Bihar Assembly election in 2020.[3]
Formation
It was launched formally on 8 May 2015 by former Chief Minister of Bihar, Jitan Ram Manjhi, who left the Janata Dal (United) party along with 18 others to form Hindustani Awam Morcha following the 2015 Bihar political crisis.[4][5] The party added "Secular" to its name in June 2015, becoming Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular).[6][7] In July 2015, the Election Commission recognised HAM(S) as a political party.[8] The election symbol of the party is a wok.[9][10][11][12]
History
In July 2015, the party joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and contested 21 seats, with some additional members contesting on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in Bihar.[13] On 18 September 2015, HAM(S) announced its first list of 13 candidates with Manjhi contesting from Makhdumpur and Imamganj.[14][15]
The party ended up winning only in Imamganj with Manjhi losing in Makhdumpur.[16]
In the previous election,[which?] the alliance was led by the BJP alongside three smaller allies, namely the Lok Janshakti Party, the Rashtriya Lok Samta Party and HAM(S), while Janata Dal (United) had contested as part of the Mahagathbandan opposition party.[17][18] In 2017, Janata Dal (United) switched allegiance, which caused the Mahagathbandan government to dissolve and the NDA to come into power.[19] In 2018, HAM(S) and the Rashtriya Lok Samata Party left the alliance.[20][21][22]
During the campaigning phase in August 2020, the alliance was re-joined National Democratic Alliance.[23] The party won four seats in the 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election and Manjhi's son Santosh Suman was made a minister in Nitish Kumar's cabinet.[24][25]
