On December 7, at a press conference in Warangal, the CPI-Maoist emissary, Varavara Rao, asked the Andhra Pradesh government to extend the ceasefire agreement by another six months and raise the issue of arms during the second phase of talks with Naxalite groups. Rao accused the Home Minister, K. Jana Reddy, of issuing `irresponsible statements' over peace talks. It was the State Government, which violated the ceasefire agreement and not the naxal groups, he added. He also wanted Monitoring Committee members to visit villages and seek public opinion as to whether Naxalites should give up arms and there would be any loss if they moved with arms. "Ceasefire means Naxalites will have arms but they will not use them," he said.

Even as the six months-long cease-fire between left-wing extremists (also known as Naxalites) and the Andhra Pradesh Government ended on December 16, there was no announcement by the State Government, thus far, on the extension of the truce. According to The Hindu, the Government is reluctant to officially commit itself to a cease-fire extension and is arguing that as there is no such "formal agreement" there is no necessity to extend it. Commenting on the extension, Home Minister K Jana Reddy is reported to have said, "We have not given any thought at all to this issue… We are ready to face any challenges that are thrown by the Naxalites." He also added, "With or without the ceasefire it is the same for the Naxalites as they are acting as per their whims and fancies, extorting money from the poor and helpless and blasting the landmines."

Rajasekhara Reddy, rejected the demand of left-wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) outfit, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), to halt the policing of sensitive villages on the ground that the Government had to fulfill its constitutional obligation of maintaining law and order. "Ideology is not a license to possess weapons. It cannot be allowed," he said. The Chief Minister also said that the question of extending the cease-fire was irrelevant as long as the Naxalites vitiated the atmosphere. "Reports suggest that several roads have been extensively mined in the State. The recent landmine explosion at G.K.Veedhi in Visakhapatnam district is not a welcome development for sustaining peace, '' he added.
