Indian Communist Party (1987)

The Indian Communist Party (ICP) was a political party in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, emerging from a rift in the Communist Party of India (CPI) in 1987. The party was founded by veteran communist leader and trade unionist M. Kalyanasundaram, who died a few months after the split. The group opposed the alliance between CPI and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party. It would align itself with the Congress-I ahead of the 1989 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election. Simultaneously with the finalization of its pre-poll alliance, the ICP merged into the Communist Party led by S.A. Dange and Mohit Sen.
