The '''Marxist Coordination Committee''' (MCC) is a [[political party]] in [[Jharkhand]], [[India]]. MCC is based in the [[coal mining]] region of [[Dhanbad]].<br />
<br />
Originally founded as ''Janwadi Kisan Sangram Samiti'' (''{{lang-en|Democratic Peasants' Struggle Association}}'') was formed in 1971 after local communist leader [[A. K. Roy]] had been expelled from the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]]. JKSS was later renamed to the MCC. The party is still led by Roy, who has been elected MP three times.<br />
<br />
Roy was active in the [[History of Jharkhand#Post-independence|Jharkhand movement]] and helped develop the organisation which would later become [[Jharkhand Mukti Morcha]]. As Jharkhand Mukti Morcha developed into a political party, the relations between the two soured.<br />
<br />
In 1980, [[A. K. Roy]] (then an MP) and [[K.S. Chatterjee]], a member of the [[Bihar Legislative Assembly]], were arrested under the [[National Security Act (India)|National Security Act]]. In total, Roy has been jailed four times.<br />
<br />
Chatterjee had been elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly twice as an [[Independent politician|Independent]] candidate. He joined the [[Indian National Congress]] and won in 1985 on a Congress ticket. He is a prominent trade union leader in the [[Dhanbad district|Dhanbad]] region and is the President of [[Bihar Pradesh Colliery Mazdoor Congress]].<br />
<br />
In 1998, the only member of the [[Bihar Legislative Assembly]] representing the MCC, [[Gurudas Chatterjee]], was murdered by the [[coal mafia]]. Chatterjee's son, [[Arup Chatterjee]], took over his mandate after a by-poll.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}<br />
