Pillai also said that the Bihar Government is a "little soft" in taking any "hard action" against Maoists since assembly elections are scheduled in 2010, added PTI.

Calling Naxalism (Left-wing Extremism) a "graver problem" than jihadi (Islamist Extremist) terrorism, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on March 12 said that the Government had a legitimate right to use as much force as necessary to regain control of areas dominated by the Communist Party of India-Maoists (CPI-Maoist) and expressed confidence that the Government would be able to "get rid of the Maoist menace" before the United Progressive Alliances (UPA) second term ended, reports Times of India. "We are confident that before the term of UPA-2 ends, we will get rid of naxals and will have considerably strengthened our security to face any threat," P Chidambaram said while addressing a media conclave in New Delhi. Referring to the offer of talks made by the Government to Maoists recently, he asked, "Why aren't the Maoists making a simple statement that we abjure violence?" He said in such a situation, it was the legitimate right of the Government to use as much force as necessary to regain areas under their control and hoped that once the Government regained control in two to three years, it would usher in development. Putting the threat from Naxalism higher than jihadi terrorism, Chidambaram said they had a presence in 200 Districts of the country and virtually controlled 34 Districts. "They (Maoists) have declared a war on the Indian State... They are anti-development. They do not want the poor to be emancipated or become economically free," Chidambaram said, adding that civil rights groups naively thought that Naxalites were pro-poor.

In a clear shift from its previous stand, the Bihar Government has now agreed to support Union Government’s anti-Naxal offensive, reports Financial Express. In an exclusive interview with The Indian Express, Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Neelmani said the State was “very much in favour of supporting Operation Greenhunt as and when the Centre decided to do so.” He said, “unnecessary confusion was created on the state’s ambivalence or even opposition” to the Centre’s move. “We had in fact started raising our own anti-Naxal force on lines of Andhra Pradesh’s STF in the absence of the Centre meeting demands of additional forces,” said the DGP.
