The Kisan Mazdoor Mandal was a political party in Bhopal State, India. The party was formed in 1950 by proponents of a merger with Madhya Bharat, who split away from the Indian National Congress. The party had a Marxian orientation. KMM was supported by the 10,000-member trade union Mazdoor Sabha. Khan Shakir Ali Khan was the president of KMM. In the run-up to the 1952 Bhopal Legislative Assembly election, KMM was the main opposition to the Bhopal Congress.
