'''Autonomous State Demand Committee''' ('''ASDC'''), originally '''Peoples Democratic Front''', was set up as a mass organization of the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation]] with the aim of statehood for the [[Karbi Anglong District|Karbi Anglong region]] in the [[India|Indian]] state of [[Assam]].

ASDC was active in the districts of [[Karbi Anglong]] and [[Dima Hasao district|Dima Hasao]] (North Chachar Hills). Several elections to the [[Lok Sabha]] and the District Council were won under the ASDC banner. [[Jayanta Rongpi|Dr. Jayanta Rongpi]] represented the area in the [[Lok Sabha]], elected as the ASDC candidate in 1991, 1996 and 1998. Later, ASDC split into two, with one section the '''Autonomous State Demand Committee (United)''' breaking away from CPI(ML) Liberation and aligning with the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].

The main group loyal to CPI(ML) Liberation reorganized themselves as '''[[Autonomous State Demand Committee (Progressive)]]'''. From 1999 election onwards, Autonomous State Demand Committee (Progressive) candidates contest election on the banner of [[Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/history-of-naxalism/story-4f1rZukARGYn3qHOqDMEbM.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160814222816/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/history-of-naxalism/story-4f1rZukARGYn3qHOqDMEbM.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 August 2016|title=History of Naxalism|date=2003-05-09|newspaper=Hindustan Times|access-date=2016-12-16}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archive.cpiml.org/liberation/year_2009/april_09/cover.html|title=Long March from Naxalbari : Most Memorable Moments|website=archive.cpiml.org|access-date=2016-12-16|archive-date=2 September 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240902093335/http://archive.cpiml.org/liberation/year_2009/april_09/cover.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2015, a group of former leaders from the Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC) established a new political party known as the Hills State Demand Council (HSDC). The HSDC's primary objective was to continue ASDC's advocacy for the creation of a separate state for the hill districts of Assam. The new party sought to pursue this goal with a ''transformed dynamism''.<ref>{{Cite web |title='Hills State Demand Council' to revitalize statehood demand |url=https://nagalandpost.com/index.php/2015/02/11/hills-state-demand-council-to-revitalize-statehood-demand/ |access-date=2 September 2024 |website=nagalandpost.com |archive-date=2 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240902093240/https://nagalandpost.com/index.php/2015/02/11/hills-state-demand-council-to-revitalize-statehood-demand/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
