The Hindu reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has threatened to step up attacks on the police, especially the elite Greyhounds personnel and leaders of the Congress party, if the police resorted to attacks against people to avenge the Chitrakonda ambush in Orissa which left 39 Greyhounds personnel dead. In a statement issued in Hyderabad on July 2, the Maoist spokesman in Andhra Pradesh, Janardhan, said that the statements of Chief Minsiter Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Home Minister K. Jana Reddy on the Chitrakonda incident spoke of the government’s plan to unleash repression and target people believed to be Maoist sympathisers. The spokesperson termed the Chitrakonda ambush as a ‘fitting lesson’ to the Greyhounds personnel who had become a law unto themselves. He further said that the success of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) in carrying out the ambush only proved false the claims that the Maoist movement was wiped out from the State.

Indian Express quoting an intelligence report of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, reports that the Naxalite (left-wing extremist) groups are active in 22 states of the country and are harbouring ambitions of controlling more than a third of India's territories by the end of 2009. Basing its information on literature and pamphlets seized by the security forces in anti-Naxal operations, and also on interrogation of arrested extremists, the report says the Naxal groups are aiming to liberate and control 35 per cent of India's land by the end of 2009. The report points out the naxalite groups have spread their activities to states that had earlier not witnessed any Naxal activities like Delhi, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Gujarat. As many as 39 left-wing extremist groups are currently operating in the country with a combined membership of more than a 100,000, the reports further added. The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) alone accounts for more than 90 per cent of violent incidents.

On July 3, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee ruled out a ban on the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) saying that the government would prefer to tackle them "administratively and politically", reports Telegraph. "We have decided not to ban the Maoists. I had made that clear a few months ago during a meeting of chief ministers at the Prime Minister’s residence," Bhattacharjee said. Pointing out that mere bans were not enough to isolate the Maoists from common people, he added, "Not a single Naxalite can be spotted today in the Naxalbari area of the Siliguri sub-division because of our concerted political campaign against them." The chief minister said the Maoist strongholds were in Bengal bordering Jharkhand, which provided them a safe haven. "After committing crimes in our state, they flee to Jharkhand, making it difficult for us to arrest them", he said. He further said that co-ordinating with Jharkhand in dealing with the Maoists has not yielded "much results".
