Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) documents recovered by Police reveal that the Maoists have admitted to their failure in targeting the Security Forces (SFs) and mobilising militia, reports The Hitavada on July 4. The documents, which are apparently proceedings of a few meetings held at sub-zonal or zonal level committees of the CPI-Maoist, stated “We have failed in hitting the target of Tactical Counter-Offensive Campaign (TCOC) in four commands. Two companies took some effort. But, due to small technical mistakes and error of judgement at the level of ‘commanders’, we have lost good opportunities.” The Maoists have also attributed failure in carrying out their annual TCOC to a variety of reasons other than technical mistakes and error of judgment at the level of ‘commanders’. These include failure in mobilising ‘militia’ (fighting force in forest areas), problems with gathering of Intelligence on Police movement, insubordination within party units etc. In one of the documents, instances of junior-level Maoist cadres refusing to obey the orders of seniors have been mentioned. From the documents, it is evident that the senior-level Maoists are worried about juniors refusing to do sentry duties. In some cases, when the senior Maoists scolded the juniors, they preferred not to communicate with each other, resulting in lack of co-ordination within units while moving through the jungles and avoiding face-off with the Security Forces (SFs). One of the CPI-Maoist documents mentions that “All the single-target actions this year under TCOC have failed completely,” with increased visibility and mobility of Police forces especially in Gadchiroli District and expressed worries about own operations.
