'''Mahendar Prasad Singh''' ({{langx|hi|महेंद्र प्रसाद सिंह}}); (23 August 1949 – 16 January 2005) popularly known as '''Mahendar Singh''' was an Indian [[communist]] politician and guerrilla leader. Mahendar Singh was a three-time elected legislative assembly member from [[Bagodar (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Bagodar]], in the state of Bihar, later the state of Jharkhand, as a member of [[Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation|CPIML Liberation]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/mla-killed-in-rebel-hotbed-mahendra-singh-shot-dead-in-giridih/cid/969308|title=MLA killed in rebel hotbed – Mahendra Singh shot dead in Giridih|website=www.telegraphindia.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=https://liberation.org.in/liberation-2022-february/mahendra-singh-martyrdom-day | title=Mahendra Singh Martyrdom Day }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/jharkhand/cpi-ml-s-new-office/cid/420880|title=CPI-ML's new office|website=www.telegraphindia.com}}</ref>

Though Mahendar Prasad Singh began his career as an anti-electoralist guerrilla leader of [[Lal Sena]], he later retracted those views and was elected to the Bihar Assembly. Seemingly due to his electoralist turn, he was shot and killed in Bagodar by [[Communist Party of India (Maoist)|Maoist fighters]] on 16 January 2005.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hindi.newsclick.in/Jharkhand-murder-of%20CPI-ML-MLA-Mahendra-Singh-and-justice|title=झारखंड: एक विधायक की मां जीते जी नहीं दिला पायीं अपने पति के हत्यारों को सज़ा; शहादत वाले दिन ही चल बसीं महेंद्र सिंह की पत्नी|date=17 January 2022|website=न्यूज़क्लिक}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jagran.com/jharkhand/dhanbad-shanti-devi-mother-of-bagodar-mla-vinod-singh-passed-away-22385813.html |title=भाकपा माले विधायक विनोद सिंह के पिता की शहादत के दिन मां का निधन, बगोदर में शोक की लहर |lang=hi |trans-title=MLA Vinod Singh Mother Death News: Shanti Devi Mother of Bagodar CPI ML MLA Vinod Singh Passed Away, Mahendra Singh Death Anniversary 2022 |date=16 January 2022 |author=Mritunjay |access-date= 8 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/cpi-ml-mla-shot-dead-in-jharkhand/articleshow/991990.cms|title=CPI-ML MLA shot dead in Jharkhand | India News – Times of India|website=The Times of India|date=16 January 2005 }}</ref> At the time of legislative election he was campaigning for the fourth term when he was killed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cpiml.net/liberation/2017/02/12th-martyrdom-day-comrade-mahendra-singh|title=12th Martyrdom Day of Comrade Mahendra Singh | Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation|website=www.cpiml.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.cpiml.org/liberation/year_2005/FEBRUARY/mahendra_singh.htm|title=Comrade Mahendra Singh, You Will Always Live In the Struggles and Aspirations of the People of Jharkhand and India!|website=archive.cpiml.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/state/jharkhand/ranchi/mahendra-singh-martyrdom-day-cpi-ml-leader-comrade-mahendra-singh-was-the-ideal-politician-of-democracy-and-public-concern-grj |title=Mahendra Singh Martyrdom Day : लोकतंत्र व जन सरोकार के आदर्श राजनेता थे भाकपा माले नेता कॉमरेड महेंद्र सिंह |lang=hi |trans-title=Mahendra Singh Martyrdom Day: CPI-ML leader Com.
