History
Ahead of the 2001
In spring 2003, KPP suffered an internal division. Atul Roy, considered as a moderate, was dethroned and replaced by a more hardline leadership. Nikhil Roy became the new president of KPP and the general secretary was Subhas Burman. Atul Roy remained a member of the central committee.
Ahead of the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, KPP formed a front together with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha.
In 2006, Atul Roy broke away from Kamtapur People's Party to form a new party called the Kamtapur Progressive Party. However, Atul Roy and Nikhil Roy decided to end their dispute in October 2010 and Atul merged his party with Kamtapur People's Party.[1] There is only one Kamtapur People's Party today. Atul Roy is the president of the party and Nikhil Roy is the general secretary.
