CPI (Maoist) Calls For Bandh In Telangana State On December 9th

Hyderabad District, December 6, 2024: The Telangana State Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) called for a state-wide bandh on December 9 in response to what it claims was a fake encounter between Telangana Greyhounds and cadres of the Maoist party in the Chalapaka forest area in Eturunagaram mandal of Mulugu district on December 1, which claimed the lives of seven Maoists, including leading Maoist cadre Badru.

In a letter released to the press and the police by CPI (Maoist) Telangana State Committee spokesperson Comrade Jagan on Thursday, December 5, the Maoist party has called for the closure of all educational institutions and shops across the state.

In the letter the CPI (Maoist) TSC alleges that Telangana Greyhounds used a “traitor of revolution” as a covert agent in their operation, who laced the food served to the slain Maoists at a tribal hamlet near Polkamma Vagu on November 30 with poison. When the Maoists were unconscious, the police caught and tortured them brutally prior to shooting the Maoists dead from a close range at 4 am on December 1.

In the letter issued by the CPI (Maoist) TSC the party demanded that the state government conduct an inquiry into what it claimed was a fake encounter, and to bring those police personnel responsible to justice.

“Congress government and its leaders must take full responsibility for this incident. Congress is playing stooge to corporates in the state. For their profits, the Congress government is adopting the policies to loot. Congress is going ahead with Operation Kagaar as part of its plan to target the Maoist party, which has been spearheading the people’s movements against such policies. Incidents of encounters in Dameratogu, Raghunathapalem and Polkamma Vagu are a result of it,” the letter issued by the Maoist party’s TSC declared.

The slain Maoist leader Kurusam Mangu (alias Papanna, alias Badru) was a member of the Maoist party’s Telangana State Committee, whereas A Mallaiah (alias Madhu, alias Koti) was a JMWP Divisional Committee member, the letter issued by the Maoist party’s TSC disclosed.

Muchaki Andal was a member of the Maoist party’s Yellandi-Narsampet Area Committee, Muchaki Bume (alias Jamuna) was an area committee member, Punem Chotu (alias Kishore) was the regional company 2’s first platoon party committee member, Kartam Kamal was the regional company 2’s second platoon party committee member, and Jaisingh was an Eturunagaram-Mahadevpur Area Committee member, the letter issued by the Maoist party’s TSC stated.
