'''Chandra Pulla Reddy''' (1917 – 9 November 1984, [[Calcutta]]) was an Indian communist leader.<br />
<br />
Chandra Pulla Reddy was born in 1917 at Velugodu village in what is currently the [[Kurnool district]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. A leading activist in [[Indian freedom struggle]] as a student of [[Guindy Engineering College]] of the then [[Madras]] (present Chennai) against [[British Raj|British colonial rule]]. He was dismissed from the college. Later he became the [[Kurnool district]] secretary of the then united [[Communist Party of India]] (CPI). Later he became the editor of the party organ ''Janasakthi''.<br />
<br />
C.P. Reddy became one of the main leaders of the [[Andhra Pradesh Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries]]. Reddy began organising armed struggles in the [[Khammam]] and [[Warangal]] areas, without the approval of the APCCCR leadership. Reddy then conducted [[self-criticism]]. In December 1969, the APCCCR leadership was arrested. In their absence Reddy strengthened his role inside the organisation. The leadership sent a letter of criticism from jail against the line implemented by Reddy. Effectively the organisation faced a split, with Reddy leading his own [[Andhra Pradesh Committee of Communist Revolutionaries (Chandra Pulla Reddy)|APCCR]] as of 1971.<ref>[[Unity Centre of Communist Revolutionaries of India (Marxist-Leninist)]].
