Lal Nishan Party

From Bharatpedia, an open encyclopedia

Lal Nishan Party (Red Flag Party, LNP) was a communist political party in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It was founded in 1965.[1]

LNP's main work was trade union activism. The trade union of the party was called Sarva Shramik Sangh (SSS).

The party publication was called Nave Parva. Earlier, SSS published a Marathi daily newspaper from Pune called Shramik Vichar.

During the 1980s, LNP developed a close cooperation with Kamgar Aghadi.[citation needed]

In 1988, a split occurred when a hardline section, critical of the Perestroika, broke away and formed Lal Nishan Party (Leninvadi).

LNP participated in the Confederation of Indian Communists and Democratic Socialists.[2]

In 2017 August, LNP merged with the Communist Party of India.[3][4][5]
