The Indian Express reports that four days after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee held a public rally at Balarampur in Purulia District, urging people to resist the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), an armed Maoist squad raided a village in the area late in the evening of November 14 and shot dead a 63-year-old retired school teacher Ajit Singh Sardar and his 22-year-old son Baku. Both the victims were supporters of Trinamool Congress (TMC). Within hours, an angry Chief Minister directed the Joint Security Forces to immediately resume operations to counter the Maoists in the area. Further, Banerjee said the security agencies had been asked to step up operations against underground Maoist outfits operating from Kolkata hideouts and their support bases in the city. She said her Government was ready with a blueprint for action against certain NGOs that were actually aiding and abating Maoists. “A number of Jadavpur University professors are also involved,” she said. Earlier in the day, the West Bengal state secretary of the CPI-Maoist, known as Akash, in a statement said that the “time for mutual ceasefire is over”, as the Government did not come up with any concrete proposal for peace initiative.

The Hindu reports that the West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee on November 21 warned organisations glorifying the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) that the Government would take action against them anytime as there are provisions in Central Acts that empower the Government to act against persons seeking to glorify Maoists or any other rebel group. She was reacting to a press conference held by the Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR) and 21 other organisations, against what they described as the government's moves to change a meeting venue fixed by them. Also sharing the dais and the concern of the organisers on this issue, was social rights activist Mahasweta Devi who was one of her supporters. Giving for the first time her rationale for not withdrawing troops from the Jungle Mahal area , Banerjee said : “Yes it was a poll promise, and that is why we tried for six months to restore peace in that area when we did not allow security operations to take place.” “But what have you done?” she asked the Maoists. “You killed seven-eight people…law and order is a State subject. I cannot let my people be killed. I cannot deny my responsibility.” she said, adding that people would not pardon her.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Politburo member Mallojula Koteshwar Rao alias Kishanji, the man who controlled Maoist operations in eastern India, was cornered and killed in a massive security operation after a two-hour gun battle in Kushaboni forest in Jhargram on the West Bengal-Jharkhand border in West Midnapore District on November 24, reports The Times of India. The recovery of Kishanji's AK-47 rifle and a hearing aid, the CPI-Maoist politburo member is known to have been using, lent heft to the claim that the yet unclaimed body was that of Kishanji. But officials said they needed to close a one percent gap to make a formal announcement. "Most likely it is Kishanji. The officers on the spot said it is Kishanji and most likely, 99%, it is Kishanji," said Union Home secretary R K Singh. "We have said we have to be certain before we declare." The operation that netted Kishanji, who has repeatedly eluded such dragnets in the past three years, began in the night of November 22. It culminated in one of the biggest and fiercest battles in Jungle Mahal with some 500 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and anti-Maoist commandos, backed by local policemen, taking on 150-odd Maoist cadres. Thousands of rounds were fired in the Kushaboni forest in Jhargram, 200 kilometres west of Kolkata. After the gun battle stopped CRPF commandos quickly moved in and found a body closely resembling Kishanji. Three more bodies were also found. The Security Forces were still searching for Kishanji’s trusted aide Suchitra Mahato, wife of slain Maoist leader Sashadhar Mahato, who was with him during the encounter and is believed to be injured in the encounter.
