liberation has established legal overground structures (trade unions, student groups, peasant organisations etc.) and participates in elections. in the lok sabha elections in 1999 the party won 0.3% of the votes and one seat (the former asdc-seat from assam). in the 2004 elections the seat was lost, mainly due to a split within asdc. as of 2016, the party has been able to send its representatives to the state legislative assemblies of bihar and jharkhand as well as the panchayats of bihar, jharkhand, uttar pradesh, west bengal, and punjab.
