AP has done very well in cutting-off the head of this maoist menace. But the problem is they keep regrouping by fleeing to other states where the local governments are inept in fighting the maoists like Orissa, Chattisgarh, MP etc. Unless it is a co-ordinated effort by all these states to...

The maoists are loosing the plot and therefore saying things that they are alien to. From recent reports it seems that Maoists have lost 24 out of 39 central committee leaders, which means they lost almost 2/3rds of their leadership. When a head is cut-off from its body, the body goes in a...

^^Thanks for the update Bengalraider. Its very sad and unfortunate to hear such news. This red menace can only be taken care by concomitant increase in development and increased security measure to weed out the naxals. There is no other way than this. Hope our politicians do the right thing.
