Why Maoists are on the wane in the once-dreaded Red Corridor
Once considered a formidable internal security threat, Maoist insurgency has shrunk from controlling the vast Red Corridor to just 18 districts of the country. The underlying factors are not only the targeted development schemes and sustained counterinsurgency operations, but also internal rifts, ideological rigidity, leadership crises, and alienation of support base, according to security experts and the surrendered members of the outfit. At its peak in the late 2000s, the Red Corridor spanned nearly 180 districts, encompassing a large part of India's population. However, official statistics shows the scale of decline: the incidents of Left-Wing Extremism dropped by more than 50% between 2004-14 and 2014-23, with fatalities falling by nearly 70%. Naxal-related violence had peaked at 1,936 incidents in 2010, but plummeted to 374 by 2024, while deaths dropped from 1,005 to 150. A close examination of Dandakaranya by security experts – a forested expanse covering parts of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra that was treated by Maoists as their de facto capital for over two decades – indicated some possible reasons behind their waning influence. As disclosed by several surrendered Naxal leaders, the outfit prioritised military preparedness and ideological indoctrination over any tangible development in the regions it controlled, and the very communities which it claimed to be championing suffered. In the recent past, the outfit has reportedly been facing a leadership crisis. The resignation of Muppala Lakshmana Rao, known as Ganapathy, in 2018 is considered to be the turning point. He was succeeded by Basava Raju, but the crisis deepened. He leaned heavily on military offensives rather than 'political outreach and civil engagement', alienating the support base. In May 2025, he was among the Maoists gunned down by security forces in the Maad region of Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur. The CPI (Maoist), through its Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee, said that Raju's death was a result of betrayal from within, including the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army Company No. 7 that was responsible for his security. While the reported internal rifts have been crucial, operations by security forces have accelerated the collapse of the outfit. The killing of Maoists in Narayanpur during the 21-day-long exercise, hailed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah as a landmark achievement in the battle to eliminate Naxalism, dealt yet another blow to the outfit. Security agencies have reasons to believe that the outfit's decision-making body, Politburo, has now just four active members: Muppala Lakshmana Rao aka Ganapathy, Mallojula Venugopal Rao alias Abhay, Deo Kumar Singh alias Deoji, and Misir Besra. Ideologically, the outfit is said to be losing its relevance with the younger peasants and tribals increasingly focused on education, employment, and integration into mainstream society. In his Mann Ki Baat address last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about one Om Prakash Sahu from Gumla in Jharkhand, which was once infested with Naxal activities. '…Om Prakash Sahu ji left the path of violence. He started fish farming. Then he inspired many friends like himself to do the same,' said Mr. Modi, adding that over 150 families of Basia block in Gumla have joined fish farming. Several surrendered leaders and members have advocated shunning of violence. Ginugu Narsimha Reddy, a former Central Committee member who surrendered along with his wife in December 2017, has spoken about finding peaceful solutions. He has also highlighted differences within Maoist groups. The internal disputes, underscored by the surrendered Maoists, are said to be compounded with the outfit being isolated politically.

Phones of Revanth, Kavitha were tapped too : Union Minister Bandi
HYDERABAD: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday said that over 6,500 phones, including those of politicians like BRS legislators and ministers, barring those of the then chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, former minister KT Rama Rao and former Rajya Sabha member J Santhosh Kumar, were tapped during the previous regime. After deposing before the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is investigating the phone-tapping case, Sanjay also claimed that phones of former minister T Harish Rao, and KCR's daughter Kavitha and her husband, too were tapped. Speaking to the media here, Sanjay said that he had submitted some information and confidential reports to the SIT. 'The BRS government, under the leadership of KCR, tapped my phones along with those of my family members, staff and party leaders,' he added. Stating that the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) was supposed to monitor the movement of Maoists, the MoS said: 'The SIB officials, instead, included my name in the list of Maoists and tapped my phones.' Sanjay further claimed: 'Not just my phones but those of the then TPCC president and the present Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy were also tapped. '

Telangana BJP chief slams Congress govt over phone tapping case, demands CBI probe
Synopsis Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao has slammed the Congress government's handling of the phone tapping case. He alleges a lack of seriousness in the investigation. BJP leader Bandi Sanjay was summoned for questioning. Rao demands a CBI inquiry, citing the arrest of officials but not political leaders. Bandi Sanjay claims his phone was tapped under the previous BRS regime. ANI Telangana BJP chief slams Congress govt over phone tapping case, demands CBI probe Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao on Saturday criticised the Congress-led state government for its handling of the ongoing phone tapping case, alleging a lack of seriousness in the investigation. Speaking to the ANI, Rao noted that BJP leader Bandi Sanjay was summoned to record his statement in connection with the case. "Today, the phone tapping case investigation was in progress, and Bandi Sanjay was called for his statement. The Congress government doesn't appear to be serious about the issue. So far, they have arrested only the officials, but they have not laid their hands on any political leaders who are responsible for the phone tapping. The CBI is the only answer for it. There will be a proper investigation done only if the investigation is given to the CBI. We demand that this phone tapping case be given to CBI for further investigation," he Friday, Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar demanded that the Telangana government hand over the investigation into the alleged phone tapping during the previous BRS regime to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)."It has been confirmed that judges' phones were tapped, right? Then, does the SIT even have the authority to summon judges and record their statements? Keeping this in mind, I demand that the phone tapping case be handed over to the CBI. If a letter is written to the CBI, they are ready to investigate," Bandi Sanjay told reporters after appearing before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case. Bandi Sanjay alleged that his own phone was tapped under the pretext of Maoist activity, along with those of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and several BRS MLAS during the KCR-led government."I appeared for questioning today as per the notice given by the SIT officials. It has come to light that my phones were being tapped every moment. I was even shocked to discover several things. They tapped the phones using the pretext of Maoists. Along with me, the phones of Revanth Reddy and BRS MLAs were also tapped. In fact, I was the first person to expose the issue of phone tapping," he said."I was shocked to hear the revelations made by the SIT police during the inquiry. Whatever political programs I planned, the police already knew about them in advance. They used to call our staff and ask, 'You are planning this particular program, right?' Now I understand--it was all because of the phone tapping. That's why, during KCR's regime, everyone used only WhatsApp calls. Even beggars wouldn't use regular phone calls--this shows the extent of atrocities under the BRS rule," the Karimnagar MP added that he has handed over all related information and evidence to the SIT. The phone tapping issue had earlier triggered a political row in June this year, when BRS Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) issued a legal notice to Telangana Congress chief Mahesh Kumar Goud over allegations.
