It was launched by the radical All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) on 30 December 1991 at a conference in Ranchi, under the leadership of Dr. Ram Dayal Munda. AJSU was founded on 22 June 1986. JPP was reconstituted in 1994, with Dr. Ram Dayal Munda as president and Surya Singh Besra as general secretary.
