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 party became the largest political party in the Shahee Sansad following the 2016 general election and in 2020, the party became the first party in modern rajyani history to secure a majority in the Shahee Sansad. Since 2016, 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.
