State Home Minister Bandi Sanjay, once again training his guns on the “urban naxals”, accused the urban naxals of turning innocent Dalits and tribals into naxalites by provoking them and becoming the reason for their death in the forests.
“While naxalites are dying in the forests, urban naxalites are enjoying positions of power in Telangana, Mr. Sanjay alleged while speaking to the media in Huzurabad city on Wednesday. He was in Huzurabad to attend a meeting of key BJP functionaries at the Karimnagar parliamentary constituency level. He said, “Why these urban naxalites, who repeatedly claim that their ideology is to fight against the government’s anti-people policies, are continuing the government of nominees and commission posts in the state?”.
“Why are they not starting any movements because of the failure of the ruling Congress party to fulfill its promises?” he asked.
Mr. Sanjay reiterated that Maoism would be completely eliminated by March next year.
“I request all naxalites to surrender and don’t be fooled by the words of urban naxalites. Central and state governments are providing full support to the surrendered naxalites to help them live a happy life,” the Union minister added.
Anyone who justifies Naxalite arms is also a criminal, he said in response to a question.
Later in his address at a meeting of party workers, Mr. Sanjay alleged that the Congress government was planning to hold panchayat elections only to secure central funds. The Congress government has not given a single paisa to any village panchayat in the last two years, he said. “If the Congress wins the sarpanch election tomorrow, where will it bring funds from?” he asked. According to him, voting for BJP is the only way to ensure real development of villages.
He further added that he will take the slogan ‘Hidutva’ to every doorstep and bring ‘Rama Rajya’ to Telangana.
