Communist Party of Bharat

Communist Party of Bharat is a Naxalite splinter group of Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist). This party has a presence in West Bengal. The party was behind the agitation[1] in Singur and Nandigram. The party general secretary is Ranjan Chakraborty and Barnali Mukherjee[2] is the other leader working in mass fronts. The Party distanced itself away from the movement that stemmed from the Nandigram and Singur agitation, citing that the movement went further from a popular movement to a business-lobby backed 'false' movement in spite of other Left parties entangling with the movement.[3]

The CPB distanced itself from the later part of Singur fiasco led by Trinamool Congress from the middle of 2008 which it felt had already detached itself from the interest of the people and was now fully serving the interests of the opposite industrialist lobbies only. Almost all other small left groups in Bengal including the SUCI disagreed with us in this point and continued to support TMC right up to the Assembly election 2011.
