Anadi Charan Das was an Indian politician, belonging to the Revolutionary Communist Party of India.[1]

Das was a Central Committee member of RCPI.[2] Das contested the Howrah West constituency seat of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly in the 1957 election.[3] Das finished in third place with 5,378 votes (20.04%).[3]

Das won the Howrah West constituency seat in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly in the 1962 election.[1][4] He defeated the incumbent assembly speaker Bankim Chandra Kar.[4][5][6] Das obtained 19,770 votes (44.59%).[4] He contested the Howrah Central constituency seat in the 1967 election.[7] Das finished in second place with 15,663 votes (32.48%).[7] As of 1967 he served as president of the National Screw & Wire Products Workmen's Union as well as the Asia Electric Workers' Union, both being affiliated with the All India Trade Union Congress.[8]

He won the Howrah Central seat in the 1969 election.[1] Das obtained 28522 votes (58.85%).[9]

Das and the other RCPI legislator M. Mokshed Ali were expelled from RCPI by party general secretary Sudhindranath Kumar in July 1969 for "anti-Party and anti-UF activities".[10][11][12] The expulsion provoked a split in RCPI, with Anadi Das leading his own RCPI faction.[13] Ahead of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly election, 1971 the RCPI (Anadi Das group) joined the Communist Party of India-led Eight Party Coalition.[14] Das ran on an independent ticket in Howrah Central, against Kumar.[15] Das finished in fourth place with 2,711 votes (8.55%).[15]

Das' faction later joined the S.N. Tagore-led RCPI faction.[16] After the death of Tagore, RCPI (S.N. Tagore group) was split, with Das leading one of the factions.[16]
