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 region in the India state of Assam.

ASDC was active in the districts of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao (North Chachar Hills). Several elections to the Lok Sabha and the District Council were won under ASDC banner. 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.[2][3]

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.[4]
