Replying to Congress Legislature party leader Manas Bhunia in the State Assembly on December 23, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee refuted Mamata Banerjee's charge that paramilitary forces are being used to meet the partisan ends of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), reports Times of India. The presence of paramilitary troopers has improved the situation in Maoist-hit areas, the CM said. "Because of sustained joint operations by 35 companies of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), six companies of Nagaland Police and 51 companies of State Police, the situation in Goaltore, Salboni and Midnapore Sadar blocks of West Midnapore and that in Bankura and Purulia has greatly improved," he claimed, though 79 people were killed in Jangalmahal between July and October this year. "The situation has changed in the past three months. Some of the blocks are terror free." But, there are still problems in Nayagram, Gopiballabhpur and Binpur in West Midnapore. In Purulia, Maoist activities are confined to the Ayodhya Hills. Bhattacharjee said that after the murder of seven All India Forward Bloc supporters in the Ayodhya Hills recently, he contemplated some tough measures to curb Maoist activities in the area in consultation with local MLAs and MPs. It is not advisable to withdraw paramilitary forces from Jangalmahal because Maoist activity is spread over a wide area, from Andhra Pradesh to Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal, the CM said. "Till the situation improves in Jharkhand and Odisha, it would be difficult to keep West Bengal unaffected. Till such a time, the paramilitary forces should be there." The State Government has taken several measures to win the confidence of the people in Jangalmahal, like distributing patta (land deeds) on homestead land in forest areas and giving everyone rice for Rs 2 per kilogram.

Times of India on December 27 reported that the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) has rejected Union Home Minister P Chidambaram's demand, through a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, to disarm the party cadres. Instead, CPI-M leader and Lok Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) Basudeb Acharya accused Chidambaram of acting at the behest of Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee, who has been crying hoarse about the worsening law and order situation in the State. "The letter that Chidambaram has sent to Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is based on a Trinamool Congress report and not on feedback by official agencies," the CPI-M leader said. Acharya made it clear that there would be no move to disarm the party cadres. "People have the right to defend themselves," he added. He argued that since party workers in the Jangalmahal area are mostly tribals, they have violated no law in carrying their traditional weapons.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on December 21 wrote to Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee asking him to ensure the armed cadres, including those of 'Harmad Vahini', the militia group supported by ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) are ‘immediately disarmed and demobilized’, reports Times of India on December 24. "If these armed cadres continue to take upon themselves the duties of maintaining law and order, I wonder what is the role of Security Forces (SFs), especially Central Paramilitary Forces which have been deployed at the request of the State Government"? Chidambaram wrote in his letter to the CM, on December 21. Requesting "early" reply from the CM, Chidambaram also sought to ‘personally’ discuss the matter with Bhattacharjee mentioning that the scale of violence ‘present an alarming picture and point to a virtual collapse of law and order in parts of West Bengal’. According to latest Home Ministry figures, the numbers of Trinamool Congress (TMC) cadres killed are 96 and injured are 1,237. Likewise, CPI-M cadres, who have been killed and injured, are 65 and 773, respectively, and Congress supporters who have been killed and injured are 15 and 221, respectively.
