Telangana Communist Party of India

The Telangana Communist Party of India (TCPI) is a political party in the Indian state of Telangana.

Before the division of Andhra Pradesh into two states, TCPI worked for the creation of a separate Telangana state.

TCPI was a member of Telangana Rashtra Sadhana Front.

[1][2] TCPI was registered to participate in the 2005 municipal elections in Andhra Pradesh.
