'''Communist Marxist Party''' ('''CMP''') was a [[political party]] in [[Kerala]]. The party was founded in 1986 when [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|CPI(M)]] leader [[M. V. Raghavan]] was expelled from the CPI(M) due to a grave difference of opinion regarding the formation of alliances with the [[Indian Union Muslim League|IUML]]. His support for forming a united front with non-secular parties such as the Muslim League in order to take on alliances led by the [[Indian National Congress|INC]] was ultimately rejected by the CPI(M) leadership. He was subsequently expelled from the Party.<ref>http://www.firstpost.com/politics/marxist-communist-party-founder-mv-raghavan-passes-away-1794239.html</ref><ref>https://indianexpress.com/article/india/politics/m-v-raghavan-communist-leader-who-took-on-cpm-in-kerala-dead/</ref>

In 2011 assembly election of Kerala, CMP fielded three candidates but could not win any seat. CMP had links with the [[Party of Democratic Socialism (India)|Party of Democratic Socialism]] of Saifuddin Chaudhury in [[West Bengal]]. M.V. Raghavan attended the PDS state conference in December 2003. CMP participated in the [[Confederation of Indian Communists and Democratic Socialists]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070301024955/http://www.hindu.com/2005/02/09/stories/2005020906330400.htm</ref><ref>''Mathrubhumi''.
