From old file of ASDC

The Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC), a political party in the hill districts of Assam, first experienced a major split in the year 2000 due to ideological clashes within its leadership.

This initial split led to the formation of two main factions:
Autonomous State Demand Committee (Progressive), which remained loyal to the CPI(ML) Liberation party.

Autonomous State Demand Committee (United), which broke away and aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Further divisions occurred within the party over the following years, with some sources indicating the party had broken into three factions by 2006. ASDC's waning influence and frequent splits allowed the Congress party to regain power in the region's elections after a long period of ASDC rule.

In 2015, another group of former leaders established a new party, the Hills State Demand Council (HSDC), to continue advocacy for a separate state.
