✨Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent statement, the Minister highlighted that the PM had warned the nation by calling Congress the “Muslim League Maoist Congress.” He said this reflected deep national concern, pointing to what he described as the Congress-UPA government’s lack of political will that left the country vulnerable to Naxal violence.
Modi Govt’s Strategy
The Minister contrasted this with the present government’s approach, stating that under PM Modi’s guidance and Home Minister Amit Shah’s leadership, India is moving decisively towards the goal of eliminating Naxalism by March 31, 2026. He added that a strategy based on security, good governance, and development is bringing lasting peace to areas once dominated by violence.
Road Ahead
He asserted that the country is now progressing towards stability, development, and prosperity, free from the shadow of Naxalism — a sharp departure from what he described as Congress’ failures in handling internal security.
