The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Star is a political party in India. The party emerged from a 2009 split in the CPI(ML) led by Kanu Sanyal.[1][2] K.N. Ramchandran is the general secretary of the party.[3]

Role in Bhangor Movement

In West Bengal this party gained momentum in participation in Bhangor against an ongoing Power Grid project.[4] Although many of its members were arrested including women-wing leader Sharmishtha Chowdhury for this the movement still continued.[5] Bhangor protesters led by Red Star leader Alik Chakraborty won five seats[6] in Polerhat-2 rural poll despite heavy obstacle from ruling party including blocking nominations[7] and rigging.[8]
