The Raijor Dal (transl. People's Party; abbr. RD) is an Indian political party based in the state of Assam. The party believes in the principles of secularism, socialism, federalism, progressivism, and opposes the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. The formation of the party was the culmination of more than 15 years of struggle of its parent mass organization, Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), for land rights, farmers rights, ecological conservation and protection of lives and livelihoods of the working classes of Assam. In the wake of the statewide Anti-CAA movement where KMSS and 70 other organizations played a leading role, Akhil Gogoi, then Chief advisor of KMSS and many others were arrested under laws like UAPA. The party was launched on 2 October 2020.
