The Rajyani Rashtriya Party (transl. Rajyani National Party; abbr. RRP) is the largest political party in Rajyaghar and is one of the two main ones, along with the Cooperative Party (CP). Only the Rajyani Rashtriya Party and Cooperative Party operate on a national scale with operations in all 25 Union States. The RRP is a broad church political party which represents the vast majority of centre-right to right-wing positions on the political landscape with the party having historically reflected tulyatan nationalist positions. In 2010, the RRP became the largest political party in the Shahee Sansad but did not secure enough seats to govern alone and so entered into a coalition government with the Liberal Party. Following the 2015 general election, the party secured a majority in the Shahee Sansad which it then secured again in the following 2020 election. Since 2010, the RRP has been the ruling political party of the Kingdom of Rajyaghar.

The Rajyani Rashtriya Party was founded in 1935 shortly after independence by independence leader Prakash Chaudhari. In the early years following independence, much of the country's voting population leant towards the centrist cooperative party which brought together establishment figures from across the centre of the political spectrum. However, when religious tensions boiled over in the 1950s, the party rose to prominence as the tulyatan populus feared that the irfanic minority may seek to conduct a revolution to overthrow the secular government as had been done in neighbouring Zorasan. As a result, the tulyatan-nationalist policies of the RRP were viewed favourably and the RRP quickly rose to become the second largest political party in Rajyaghar. The RRP first won national power in the 1960 general election and remained in office until the end of "The Emergency" in 1967 when the party ousted its own Prime Minister in order to end the emergency. The RRP were then voted out of office in the 1968 election and would remain in opposition for 12 years before they returned to government in 1980.

Economic liberalism and social conservatism form the basis of the RRP ideology which helps it to become a 'broad church' political party. The RRP also supports a nationalist-centred foreign policy which is supported by a strong, domestically supplied armed forces and a strengthened COMSED. The RRP itself has many wings and factions which compete for dominance within the party leadership. The centre-right wing is known for its more tempered approach to tulyatva policies whereas the more right-wing faction is known for its outspoken support for de-secularisation and the formation of a tulyatan state. However, only when the centrist wing of the party have prevailed has the party managed to win national elections and enter government.

The core base of the party has historically consisted of the middle and lower classes, particularly those from tulyatan backgrounds and from suburban and rural areas as well as lower education levels. Since the early 2000s, the party has progressively made inroads with voters with higher education and in urban areas resulting in it being one of the most successful parties in Satria in the 2010s.

History

Early Years

The Rajyani Rashtriya Party was founded by Prakash Chaudhari in March 1935 after the end of the Great War. Chaudhari was an independence leader, hailing from the Colonial State of Harringhata, who had been campaigning since the early 1910s for the creation of an independent-tulyatan-state. Chaudhari himself was the Prince of the Colonial State of Harringhata and wielded significant influence in his state which had a tulyatan majority of 83%, making it one of the most tulyatan-dominated colonies in the Rajyani Territories.

Prakash Chaudhari in 1935

During the independence talks with Governor-General Holmes, Prince Chaudhari would frequently criticise his fellow tulyatan princes for failing to defend the tulyatan faith and culture of the former middle Kingdoms of Rajyaghar. The more centrist tulyatan princes used Chaudhari’s outbursts and criticisms to their advantage by pressuring the irfanic princes into agreeing with the secular-constitutional-monarchy framework that they presented.

When the Great War came to an end in February 1935, the Colonial Administration announced that elections to an independent parliament for Rajyaghar would take place in June of that year in preparation for Independence Day the next month. Chaudhari immediately applied for the creation of the Rajyani Rashtriya Party with the Colonial Administration. Chaudhari formed the party to be a broad tent alliance for centre-right to right-wing political groups united around a key principle of tulyatva; the formation of a tulyatan state. Within a matter of weeks was travelling across western the western colonial states campaigning for his new political party. Chaudhari’s new RRP was able to gain significant support from his home colonial state of Harringhata and the neighbouring states of Dharana and Kodur which were heavily tulyatan based states, however, in the rest of the country, the people were turning to the centrist People’s Party which was dominated by the Rajyani establishment and remaining independence leaders.

In the June 1935 elections, the party won 31 of the 450 seats for the Shahee Sansad becoming the fourth largest political party in the country behind the People’s Party, Irfanic Coalition and Communist Party. Whilst the results were disappointing on a national scale, the party had secured its foothold in the western states of Harringhata, Dharana and Kodur with the RRP becoming the largest party in Harringhata and Dharana for the Shahee Sansad and securing a majority of legislative assembly seats in Dharna and Harringhata, allowing the RRP to form their first Union State Governments.
