The Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ কৃষক শ্রমিক আওয়ামী লীগ) was the political amalgmation of the Awami League with the Krishak Sramik Party that supported President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in governing Bangladesh. It was established in June 1975 and other political parties were outlawed at the time.[1] The BAKSAL dissolved after Rahman's assassination on August 15, 1975, and the KSP and League became independent political parties. The party advocated state socialism.
