An 'All India Democratic Convention' was organised in Lucknow on 14–15 May 1950, which sought to highlist property ownership rights as a civil liberties issue, and this conference set up two committees.

A zamindar conference was held in August 1950, and debated the issue of setting up a political party on similar lines as the Lucknow convention.
Jagdish Prasad was given the authority to appoint a 30-member Working Committee of the party, which would oversee District Electoral Boards.
