A senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader, identified as Sushil Ganju, self-styled ‘zonal commander’ involved in a deadly attack on Security Forces (SFs) in 2013, has been allegedly arrested by Jharkhand Police along with a woman companion in Gumla on November 1 but Police have denied arresting him, prompting the Maoists to call a state-wide shutdown on November 3 unless the authorities quickly produce him in public, reports The Hindustan Times. Sushil Ganju is said to have led the Karmatiya massacre in Latehar District in which 14 security personnel were killed. The government had announced a reward of INR 3 lakhs for his capture. Deenbandhu, the ‘secretary’ of the CPI-Maoists’ Koyal Sankh Zone said he feared the Police could kill the arrested leader in a staged shootout. While the Police did not officially confirm the arrest, sources in the department said Ganju was picked up following a joint operation by SFs.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) announced its return to action in Telangana on November 1 by calling for a one-day bandh (shut down strike) on November 8 to protest the 'inept policies' of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government that is resulting in farmer suicides, reports The Hindu. The party's North Telangana Special Zone Committee (NTSZC) spokesperson Jagan said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had claimed that Maoists were true patriots during his election campaign and that he would implement their agenda when he comes to power. On the contrary, K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) was behaving in the same manner as the earlier chief ministers by trying to suppress free speech, Jagan said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has warned journalists working in Chhattisgarh against helping the Police in carrying out surrender of Maoist cadres, reports The Hindu on November 2. “We appeal to the journalist brothers to condemn the fake surrenders and stop encouraging those who have deceived the people’s movement. The journalists who support the surrendered Maoists will be termed as ‘anti-people’ by the party,” said Ganesh Uike, ‘secretary’ of the South Regional Committee (SRC) of the CPI-Maoist, in a press statement. The Maoist leader criticised senior journalist and president of Bastar press club Karrimuddin for giving “financial assistance” to a surrendered Maoist cadre a few days ago. “Karrimuddin is a senior journalist. It does not behove him to encourage those (surrendered Maoists) who have deceived the people’s movement. He should not repeat this,” said the Maoist leader.The SRC secretary termed the spate of Maoist surrenders in Bastar in the past few months as “fake and engineered”. “The new surrender policy is acting as a tool for corrupt police and paramilitary officers to loot money. The police and administration is misleading the media about surrenders. Common people and activists working in Bastar are threatened with arrest and are asked to pose as surrendered Maoists. In many cases, former Maoists, who quit the party many years ago, are being re-arrested,” claimed Ganesh Uike, whose name has figured in almost all the major incidents of violence against police in the last five to 10 years.Uike alleged that in the past few months Bastar police and paramilitary forces had killed many civilians and branded them as Maoists. “Three women members of the PLGA were caught and tortured before being killed. Bastar Inspector General of Police (IGP) S.R.P. Kalluri is misleading the media. The journalists should not believe the police version on surrenders and encounters. We appeal our journalist brothers to come to the spot and verify facts before writing,” added the press statement.The Maoists party secretary also appealed the journalists to stop “defaming” the CPI (Maoist) for “red terror”. “We are not terrorists, but we are patriots and we are fighting for the people. We are standing against many multinational companies, preventing them from snatching land from tribal people. The media should support us rather than supporting the ‘exploiter’ government,” said the Maoist leader calling for “Dandakaranya bandh” on November 8 against the Narendra Modi government’s “Brahmnic and fascist policies”.Karrimuddin has denied the allegations and said that he was just giving reward money to a surrendered Maoist at a ceremony.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has accused the Chhattisgarh Government and Bastar Police of trying to hatch a “conspiracy” to establish Maoists’ links with Islamic extremists and Pakistan's the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports The Hindu on November 4. "The government and police are trying to propagate that the Maoists are in contact with Muslim militants and the ISI. As a part of this conspiracy, the police killed an unknown Muslim youth in Harrekoded village of Bastar on September 19 and declared him a Maoist," alleged Gudsa Usendi, the spokesperson of the Danda karanya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC), in a statement sent to senior journalists based in Bastar. The spokesperson appealed to all Muslims, minority social organisations, Human Rights bodies and the media to make an ‘independent inquiry’ into the September 19 Harrekoded encounter.

A ‘platoon commander’ of the Communist Party of India-Maoist’s (CPI-Maoist) People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), identified as Jeevan Kandulna alias Gajendra Singh, in an interview in Porahat forest of West Singhbum District has confessed that the outfit is not in a healthy state in its former stronghold of Porahat ‘sub-zone’, blaming its absence at the grassroots level, reports The Indian Express on November 6. “We had to hurriedly celebrate the Martyrs’ Week (in July). The Foundation Week celebrations too were held hurriedly. Police were swarming here,” he said. He further said “When a schoolteacher was arrested for being a supporter of ours, we tried to conduct a mass agitation demanding that his replacement be posted immediately. People did not turn up.” Villagers have also remained cold to Maoist efforts to mobilise alleged victims of sexual harassment by Security Forces (SFs). He added “The party works through its committees. We don’t have the Nari (Mukti Sangh), and the (Krantikari) Kisan Committee is nonexistent. I am the only person running the party here; there should be at least three.” He however conceded “Recruitment is still healthy.”

The Purulia zilla parishad (district level local self-Government institution) is not getting contractors to construct a road across the forest hamlets in Purulia District as no one is willing to take up the work because of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) threats in the area, reports The Times of India on November 9. In order to facilitate the movement of the force and provide for the people of Ayodhya Hills a better conveyance system, the administration had decided to construct a metal road through the forest. "We have decided to construct a road that will start from the top of the Ayodhya Hills and move west to a place called Paschim Khamar. This 22-km-long road will go through the forest covering nearly 100 villages on both sides. With an approximate cost of INR 700,000 per kilometre, the entire project is likely to entail a cost of INR 160 million. The project will be funded by the state government's Paschimanchal Unnayan Parshad," said Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and Purulia zilla sabhadhipati Shristidhar Mahato. Though the detailed project report is ready, the District administration cannot go ahead with the project due to Maoist threats. Inspector General of Police (IGP) (western range), Siddhinath Gupta, said, "There is information that Maoist activities in this area have increased and they are frequenting the hilly terrains of Purulia and even some pockets of West Midnapore."

The Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA) Rajnath Singh on November 12 said Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was in "turmoil" due to growing desertions, absence of fresh recruitment and low morale among its armed cadres, but cautioned that it had the potential of bouncing back with a spectacular attack against soft targets in its stronghold areas, reports The Times of India. Speaking at a meeting of the parliamentary consultative committee on home affairs in New Delhi, the he said the turmoil in the Maoist ranks was evident from "the literature recovered by Security Forces and interrogation of LWE cadres". "But, as it typical with the Maoists, the top leadership of LWE is trying hard to overcome the situation... The LWE insurgency has shown remarkable resilience and stamina throughout its historical course and has bounced back on many occasions," he said adding that the government had therefore decided to commit all resources at its disposal to tackle the problem. Stating that counter-Maoist efforts remained on top of the agenda for interventions by the Centre, the Home Minister added Prime Minister Narendra Modi regime was pursuing a four-pronged strategy, focused on security-development-rights and entitlement and public perception management.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) is likely to discuss the deplorable performance of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected States in ensuring the rights and entitlement of the local communities during a high-level meeting, reports The New Indian Express on November 13. The Government had enacted the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006. Bihar, which last year (2013) reported 176 incidents, could only distribute 1.67 per cent of title deeds to forest dwellers. Till July 31, Bihar had received 2,930 claims, but only 28 title deeds were distributed. Chhattisgarh, which reported 353 incidents in 2013, had received 7,56,062 claims, but only 3,12,250 title deeds could be distributed. Although Chhattisgarh has performed much better with 43.73 per cent title distribution when compared to Bihar, the State rejected over four lakh claims. Sources said among the states, Odisha was the best performing State in terms of ensuring the rights and entitlement of local communities, distributing 70.71 percent title deeds. Even states such as Maharashtra could only distribute 1,43,283 title deeds out of 3,48.075 claims. Blaming the Maoist menace in certain worst affected areas for the delay in the development activities, sources said the road network of 2,297 km remained incomplete because it fell under the Maoist dominated areas. The Centre had approved INR 73 billion under Road Requirement Plan-I for Maoist-affected areas in 34 Districts. So far, the agencies have completed 3,180 km-long road network.

Days after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh cautioned that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is down but not out, the Maoists have claimed that what he said was right, reports The Times of India. CPI-Maoist's Bihar-Jharkhand Special Area Committee (BJSAC) general secretary Rupeshji said their silence should not be mistaken for disenchantment of the militia with its ideology. "It could be a part of our strategy that we are not willing to waste our energy, forces and weapons, but an appropriate response will be given to the security forces if they continue with their repression," he said. Talking exclusively to Times of India on November 15, Rupeshji said though they have been facing difficulties in terms of repression by security forces and covert action of the state-sponsored armed intelligence groups, such actions have made the outfit even more determined. Citing a recent example of villagers in Madanpur area under Aurangabad district of Bihar, who blocked the National Highway (GT road) to protest against atrocities by CRPF personnel, the BJSAC chief said that such protests are going to be commonplace all over Jharkhand and Bihar. "Martyrdom of Kalawati Devi and Ramadhan Bhuinya, killed in police firing during the protest, will not be allowed to go waste and villagers are being trained to rise against the repression of security forces," he said, indicating towards Saranda, where a mass movement is being planned against the forceful eviction of villages to give mining rights to 19 private companies. "How long can the government succeed if the villagers themselves rise against them?" he argued.

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres shot dead a 30-year-old Panchayat (village level local self government institution) ward member, identified as Motai Bodra, near Narsingarh weekly market in Dalbhumgarh of Ghatshila in East Singhbhum District on November 16, reports The Telegraph. According to eyewitnesses, Bodra, a resident of Ramaitand village in Ghurabandha, was buying goods at Narsingarh weekly market, when someone asked him to accompany him to the corner of the haat. “Soon, two more men appeared in the scene. Their faces were covered. They dragged Bodra for about 100 metres to a secluded place and pumped three bullets into his body. He died on the spot,” said the eyewitness. However, Superintendent of Police (SP) (rural) Shailendra Kumar Sinha did not confirm involvement of Maoists in the broad daylight murder. “We cannot conclusively say that it was a Maoist-sponsored killing. The murder of Bodra might also be an outcome of a gang rivalry or an old enmity with someone in his village. We are probing the case from all possible angles,” the SP said.

The Global Index report said "The number of attacks also increased, with 55 more attacks in 2013 than 2012. However, the majority of terrorist attacks in India have low casualties. In 2013 around 70% of attacks were non-lethal. Communist terrorist groups are by far the most frequent perpetrators and the main cause of deaths in India. Three Maoist communist groups claimed responsibility for 192 deaths in 2013, which was nearly half of all deaths from terrorism in India. Police are overwhelmingly the biggest targets of Maoists, accounting for half of all deaths and injuries. This is mainly through armed assaults, which killed 85, and bombings and explosions, which killed 43".

Ahead of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) week commencing on December 2, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) held a meeting on the border with Odisha in Visakhapatnam District on November 27 to pay homage to its District committee member Sharath and militia member P. Ganapathi who were killed in an attack by the people near Korukonda shandy on October 19 and repeated its warning that it would not spare Simhachalam who escaped from the Maoist attack and 19 villagers who attacked the party men at the behest of the Police. While Sharath and Ganapathi were clobbered to death, another militia member Korra Nageswara Rao who was dumped in a nearby stream believing that he was also killed due to thrashing, survived and talked to the media during the meeting. The meeting, for which people from 33 villages under Balapam Gram Panchayat were asked to attend by the Maoists as if to show that their influence over the area has not diminished, was addressed by party's east division secretary Kailasam while many top leaders of State rank were also present. More than a hundred party functionaries of all cadres were present, according to information received here. Charging Superintendent of Police Koya Praveen with implementing a Salwa Judum type operation in the Agency, he said he would meet the fate met by Salwa Judum leader Mahendra Karma. Kailasam demanded withdrawal of proposal for creation of village protection force. Kailasam announced that coffee plantations at Siribala, RV Nagar and Chapagedda will be distributed to the Girijans soon since the party believed that the forest wealth belonged to the Girijans. In the past it distributed six coffee plantations to the Girijans.

Apparently shaken by spate of surrender of Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s conflict zone of Bastar in recent time, Left-wing Extremists (LWEs) have threatened to kill the deserting cadres, intelligence sources said on November 27, reports The Asian Age. The Maoists leaders have begun holding meetings in villages in remote areas in south Bastar region warning the cadres of execution in public if they surrendered before the Police. “The Madh Divisional Committee of CPI (Maoist) has launched a campaign in south Bastar region to stop the local cadres from joining the bandwagon of surrendered Maoists. Leaders of the committee have been spotted organising ‘forced’ conclave of local adivasis (tribals) threatening to eliminate those who surrender, apparently to create a fear psychosis among their cadre,” a senior Police officer quoting the intelligence inputs received from Bhairamgarh area in south Bastar District of Bijapur said, unwilling to be quoted.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has admitted that its cadres are deserting the party and are getting attracted towards the “bankrupt” surrender policy employed by the Government, reports The Hindu on November 30. “It is true that some of our ‘weak’ cadres are getting attracted towards the bankrupt and corrupt surrender policy of the government and laying down their arms,” Gudsa Usendi, the spokesperson of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) of the CPI-Maoist, said in a press statement.

Accusing Chhattisgarh police of “threatening and forcing” people to surrender, Mr. Usendi said that the police propaganda through the media was an attempt to “defame” the Maoist party and to put “psychological pressure” on Maoist ranks.
