Lal Nishan Party
Lal Nishan Party (Red Flag Party, LNP) was a communist political party in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
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.[1]
In 2017 August, LNP merged with the Communist Party of India.[2][3]
