O. Rajagopal - Jana Sangh Work

Jana Sangh Work

He was inspired by Deendayal Upadhyaya and began working in the Jana Sangh shortly after completing his studies. The death of Upadhyaya in 1968 spurred Rajagopal to pursue his public career more deeply. He was the State General Secretary of Jana Sangh until 1974. That same year, he was promoted to the post of President, a post he held until 1977.

In the Emergency period he was jailed with Mr. V. Velankutty Master (Palakkad District President of Jansangh) in Viyyur Central Jail. After the Indian emergency the Jana Sangh merged with the Janata Party. During this period of time Rajagopal served as the State General Secretary for the Jana Sangh.
