Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Praja Pantha (); (abbreviated as CPI (M-L) Praja Pantha; ), was a Marxist-Leninist Naxalite party in India, originally founded in 1984 and refounded in 2022, and united with three other groups in 2024.
CPI (M-L) Praja Pantha was originally founded in 1984 by Pyla and Madala who were members of the Communist Party of India (MarxistâÂÂLeninist) (Chandra Pulla Reddy). According to Chandra Pulla Reddy the reason for the split was their differences with the CC's understanding of united front, "resistance" slogan, their claimed ties to earlier splinters, and their claimed discipline issues. Through its existence it had several problems with other Naxalites parties too, like the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) People's War, which resulted in deaths. This group became Communist Party of India (MarxistâÂÂLeninist) New Democracy in 1994.
CPI (M-L) ND Telangana State Committee members who were disillusioned with the CC distanced themselves from the party, and declared themselves as CPI (M-L) Praja Pantha on February 22, 2022. According to the splinter group, CPI (M-L) ND failed to corrected its extremist line, thus alienating the party from people. On March 5, 2024, CPI (M-L) Praja Pantha, CPI (M-L) Revolutionary Initiative and PCC, CPI (M-L) united, forming the Communist Party of India (MarxistâÂÂLeninist) Mass Line ().
