The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have released two music videos, prepared by their cultural wing Chetna Natya Manch (CNM), to mark the 20thanniversary of its military wing – the Peoples’ Liberation of Guerrilla Army (PLGA), reports The Times of India on December 6. The music videos are suspected to have been shot in Sukma District of Chhattisgarh and circulated across Central India.In one of the videos, the Maoists have made a short musical documentary on the life and achievements of Ravula Srinivas alias Kunta alias Ramanna, who was one of the most prominent rebels of Chhattisgarh. Another video highlights the various military achievements of Maoists in Chhattisgarh. “The videos also have shots and images of large gathering of tribals dancing to songs eulogizing PLGA and appealing masses, especially youngsters to join the armed rebellion. This is a deliberate move claiming mass support to counter security agencies which are stating that rebels are fast losing popularity in their own backyard,” said a senior security agency personnel on the condition of anonymity.The videos also show that the Maoists are trying to use social media as their next major platform for publicity,” said a security personal.

The militia members, who surrendered before Chintapalle Assistant Superintendent of Police(ASP) Vidhya Sagar Naidu, belonged to Pathrudigunta of Galikonda area, Panasalabanda,Akuluru and Ramagadda.The militants have become vexed with the barbaric acts of Maoists such as branding people asinformers and killing them based on mere speculation, the ASP said.Surrender of militia from those areas, particularly during ‘PLGA (People’s Liberation GuerrillaArmy (PLGA) week’ is surely an indication of diminishing strength of Maoist party in ChintapalliSubdivision, the ASP added.

Ganesh accused that the green revolution concept and also globalisation policies by the governments in the past seven decades have not given any security to the farmers in the country. The Maoist leader further alleged that the agricultural Acts introduced by the government is pushing the farmers towards contract farming, which could be a major threat for the farming sector in the country as corporate bigwigs only get benefits. “Suicides are not the solution for the farming issues. Loan waivers, Minimum support price (MSP) and implementation of Swaminathan Commission recommendations also would not give permanent solution for the farmers problems,” AOBSZC secretary Ganesh said adding that the farmers should fight against the government for a new revolutionary system which could get them benefits.
