Revolutionary Socialist Party of Kerala (Bolshevik)


Revolutionary Socialist Party of Kerala is formed as a splinter group from RSP in Kerala in 2001. The party leader at the time of its formation was Baby John, formerly an important RSP leader in Kerala.
RSP joined the UDF, the alliance in Kerala which is led by the INC. The party won 2 seats in the state assembly, Shibu Baby John and Babu Divakaran, in the 2001 election. Babu Divakaran became the Minister of Labour in the state government.
In 2005 RSP left UDF, a decision largely attributed to the party general secretary AV Thamarakshan. Babu Divakaran split away and formed the RSP. RSP joined in UDF.. RSP merged with JSS in 2009.
