The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) warned ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders that the latter would pay heavy price for the Government’s illegal arrests and suppression of activities in the Agency areas of the State, reports The New Indian Express on November 6. They made serious allegations against Chief Minister (CM), N Chandrababu Naidu and his TDP Government. Chandrababu Naidu came to power by making false statements that he would fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s fascist policies and the people lost their faith as they consider him as a cunning fox, said Jagabandhu, the official spokesman of the Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) of CPI-Maoist. In a hand-written letter which was released to media in the evening of November 5, Jagabandhu lambasted the Government and through the five-page release, he stated that the TDP Government led by Chandrababu has been suppressing innocent tribals and Adivasis of the Agency area to trace Maoists’ hideouts which is highly condemnable and inhuman in nature. Police Forces are treating tribals and Adivasis very cruelly by beating, kidnapping, making illegal detentions, foisting false cases, destroying thatched huts, houses, assets and household articles. Now there is unrest in the Agency area due to the Security Forces, he said. Lastly, Jagabandhu appealed to all the Opposition parties, including Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress(YSRC), Congress, Communist Party of India(CPI) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) along with people’s organisations, civil/human rights organisations and lovers of democracy to pull up the TDP Government for the latter’s violent, anti-public, undemocratic and in-human activities. The Maoists strongly warned the TDP leaders that if the ongoing forceful suppressive activities continue further, they would meet a similar fate soon.

The incidents of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) violence and the increased seizure of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) by the Security Forces (SFs) during the election campaign in Chhattisgarh are not indicative of any growth in the strength of the banned outfit, stated Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh, reports The Hindu on November 16. “Maoists are under tremendous pressure and they are unable to get new recruits. They are increasingly resorting to explosive devices to compensate for their inability to find recruits. Many of them have surrendered in recent months,” UHM Singhsaid while campaigning in Chhattisgarh.According to the Home Ministry’s countrywide figures, 131 Maoists were killed, 1,278 arrested in Police operations, while 58 surrendered so far in 2018. In Chhattisgarh, Maoist violence dipped overall in 2018, but it recorded a spike since the election was announced.“From 90 districts earlier, now there are only 10 or 12 districts that are under the threat of Maoists across the country,” UHM Singh said, adding that the outfit would be rendered ineffective in the “next two to three years.”
