Communist Party of Bharat is a Naxalite splinter group of Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist). This party has a presence in West Bengal. The party was behind the agitation[1] in Singur and Nandigram. The party secretary is Ranjan Chakraborty and Barnali Mukherjee[2] is the other leader working in mass fronts. The Party distanced itself away from the movement that stemmed from the Nandigram and Singur agitation, citing that the movement went further from a popular movement to a business-lobby backed 'false' movement in spite of other Left parties entangling with the movement.[3]

Almost all other small left groups in Bengal including the SUCI disagreed with the Party at this point and continued to support TMC right up to the Assembly election 2011.
