The People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) is the armed wing of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), a banned political organisation in India[2] which aims to overthrow the Indian Government through protracted people's war.

[5] The PLGA was founded on the first death anniversary of their three Central Committee members, who were killed in an encounter in Koyyuru.

[9] The analyses in September 2013, based on Maoists' intercepted communication, suggested that the estimated number of PLGA members had decreased (from 10,000−12,000)[10] to 8,000−9,000.

[11] Recently in March 2014, Gautam Navlakha has claimed that the PLGA's strength did not decrease but has increased, however, the guerrilla zone has been geographically reduced.

On 25 May 2013, the PLGA targeted the convoy of Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh; twenty-seven people died, including Mahendra Karma, the founder of Salwa Judum.
