As the filing of nominations for the panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) elections began on January 7, Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) posters were found in Nuapada District where the Maoists claimed that they would participate in the polls, reports IBN Live. The posters, written both in Hindi and Odia, were found in Nuapada and Komna blocks (administrative division) on January 7. However, in both the areas, the posters carried different messages. Posters written in Odia - issued by CPI-Maoist Chhattisgarh-Odisha division - were found in gram panchayats of Komna block, Bhainsadani gram panchayat of Boden block and Nangelbeda and Ghatmal gram panchayats of Sinapali block asking aspirants to take their consent for contesting in the polls. The Maoists also stated that those daring to contest the polls without intimating the outfit, would face dire consequences. In the posters written in Hindi - issued by CPI-Maoist Mainpur division and found in Dharambandha and Bharuamunda gram panchayats of Nuapada block - the Maoists have asked people to stay alert for the polls. The Maoists stated that those willing to contest ‘should be poor, committed for the cause of the poor, be truthful and honest’.

according to Palamu Superintendent of Police A T Mathew, Forces will not be withdrawn from Palamu for the Uttar Pradesh polls, which will have no impact on the ongoing operations against the Maoists, reports The Times of India. "We expect some forces of Jharkhand Armed Police (JAP) to be taken out from here for UP polls, but this will not come in the way of anti-Maoist operations here," he said on January 9. However, JAP personnel have been moved out of Jharkhand to Manipur for assembly election in the north-eastern states slated to be held in February. "Palamu division shares its borders with Chandauli and Sonebhadra in UP, where there is a heavy presence of Maoists," said the CRPF DIG adding that extremism in these places was on the wane.

with just a few weeks to go before panchayat (village level local self-government institution) elections, Maoists have started campaigning against the polls in Koraput District, reports The Times of India. The Maoists have put up posters and banners in various parts of the District, urging voters not to participate in the poll process. A number of such posters were spotted at Dandabadi and Ramagiri areas under Boipariguda Police limits and at several areas under Narayanpatna Police limits on January 16. Maoist fear in Narayanpatna is evident given that single candidates have filed nominations in six out of nine panchayats in the block for the post of sarpanch (head of panchayat). Similarly, seven out of nine posts of samiti (block level local self-government institution) members are uncontested in the block. Sources said people preferred not to file nominations in the Maoist-dominated panchayats in Narayanpatna. "It is quite possible that the rebels might have selected the candidates where single nominations have been filed and no other candidate dares to contest the election against the candidate chosen by the Maoists," said a block level official, engaged in the election process at Narayanpatna.

a team of senior officers of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) recently completed its tour of Manipur to assess the situation on the ground on the eve of the Assembly elections in the State, reports The Assam Tribune. MHA sources admitted that the situation in the State is a cause of concern and because of that around 360 companies of central paramilitary forces have been deployed to deal with the situation. The valley based militant groups of the State would definitely try to make an impact on the polls and in fact, they have already started making efforts in this direction. However, those groups are not directly supporting any political party, they are all opposing the ruling Congress. In contrast, members of the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Issak Muivah (NSCN-IM) are trying to create trouble in the Hill areas of Manipur.

A key accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, Major (retd) Ramesh Upadhaya (60), will contest the Uttar Pradesh assemble polls from Bairia constituency, an official said, reports Times of India. Upadhaya was arrested in 2008 for his alleged involvement in the Malegaon blast on September 29, 2008, in which six persons were killed and over 100 injured. He was accused of conspiring with prime accused Lieutenant Colonel Shrikant Prasad Purohit. Upadhaya, currently lodged in Taloja Central Jail in Raigad District of Maharashtra, is contesting on Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha ticket.

The Government has made necessary arrangements for the Kuki militant cadres of SoO signatory outfits to cast their votes in the polls, said State Chief Election Commissioner (CEO) PC Lawmkunga. The State Government has issued a notification in this regard on January 21, he added. Different Kuki militant outfits are into a tripartite suspension of operation agreement involving State and Central governments since 2007. The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has categorically stated that it has nothing to do with elections held in India or Manipur. ZUF was not raised either against India nor Manipur nor would it oppose any community. With regard to the Manipur Legislative Assembly elections, the ZUF does not support any political party or candidate nor does it oppose anybody.

The Telegraph reports that the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) which initiated a drive for holding free and fair elections in the State ahead of the 2013 general polls, has urged militants not to participate in the electoral process. According to the church, some politicians use the militants as puppets and the election process has nothing to do with the aspirations and pursuits of the militants. “Their involvement has been annoying because by using arms and threats they have been stealing the rights of the general public,” the NBCC said. Over the last 15 years, militants have had a major impact on elections. Working for candidates or parties of their choice, they have been involved in booth capturing, issuing threats, assaults and even murders. Militants in Nagaland have been fighting for sovereignty for over 60 years. The NBCC, expecting things will take a turn for the worse in the next elections, has launched the “clean election” campaign.
