'''Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha''' ([[Literal translation|lit.]] Chhattisgarh Liberation Front) is a [[political party]] in the [[India]]n state of [[Chhattisgarh]].<br />
<br />
On 3 March 1977, the Chhattisgarh Mines Shramik Sangh (Chhattisgarh Mines Workers' Union) was founded by [[Shankar Guha Niyogi]]. In 1982, CMSS formed CMM as their political front. CMM was formed to fight for the cultural identity of the region and for upliftment for the workers and peasants. CMM organized social campaigns, such as against alcohol abuse and instituted social projects, such as a workers' financed hospital.<br />
<br />
Niyogi was murdered in [[Bhilai]] 1991.<br />
<br />
Today Janak Lal Thakur is the president of CMM and Anoop Singh its secretary.<br />
<br />
The motto of CMMs is ''Sangharsh aur Nirman'' (Struggle and Construction). Another motto is ''Virodh Nahi Vikalp'' (Not resistance, but alternative).<br />
<br />
CMM was neutral on the issue of formation of a separate Chhattisgarh state.<br />
<br />
CMM is very active in the struggle against [[genetically modified]] seeds.<br />
<br />
In the legislative assembly elections in [[Chhattisgarh]] 2003 CMM had put up eight candidates, whom together mustered 37,335 votes.<br />
