Pursharathi Panchayat

Pursharathi Panchayat (Hindi: पुरुषारथी पंचायत) was a political party in India. The party was formed by Partition refugees from Sindh in June 1951.[1][2][3] The party was led by Kaka Tilok Chand.[1] The headquarters of the party was based in Khari Khul, Ajmer.[4]

The party promoted the social and economic improvements for the Sindhi refugee community and advocated unity with the original residents of the city.[1]

Pursharathi Panchayat presented six candidates in the 1952 Ajmer Legislative Assembly election. Three of the candidates were elected, Arjandas and Parasram from the Ajmer-I (South West) two-member constituency and Bhiman Das from the Ajmer-IV (Town Hall) constituency. Other constituencies contested by the party were Ajmer-II (East), Ajmer-V (Naya Bazar) and Ajmer-VI (Dhaldin ka Jhopra).[5]
