"Ganashakti Patrika" is the official mouthpiece of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) West Bengal State Committee, which first appeared as a fortnightly in 1967. Then it appeared as an evening daily for quite some time and finally converted into a full-fledged daily newspaper.

It is published in Bengali, with online and English weekly editions, and is widely read in the city of Kolkata and the surrounding area.

Although, a party mouthpiece, it covers wide range of issues including travel, literature, science, and technology. It claims to one of the best science & technology pages of all Bengali dailies.

A unique feature of the paper is its display on roadside woodboards throughout Kolkata and its suburbs allowing people who can't afford a newspaper to read it.

The principal catalyst behind transformation of "Ganashakti" was Saroj Mukherjee, a freedom fighter and CPI(M)'s state secretary during the 1980s. After Mukherjee's death his efforts were carried on by Anil Biswas, who was editor of the daily.
