A day after 29 Naxalites were killed in one of the largest operations by security forces in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker area, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the Centre’s campaign against naxalism and terrorism gained momentum in Chhattisgarh after the formation of the BJP government in the state.
“After the formation of the government, in a period of about 3 months, more than 80 Naxalites have been killed in Chhattisgarh, more than 125 have been arrested and more than 150 Naxalites have surrendered. I have full confidence that it will continue in future also and within a very short time, under the leadership of Modi ji, we will uproot Naxalism from the country,” the Home Minister told ANI.
He further said, “Yesterday, security forces achieved great success in Chhattisgarh. Ever since Modi ji became the Prime Minister, the BJP government has launched a continuous campaign against Naxalism and terrorism.”
Shah also said that the saffron party started setting up camps since 2014 and after 2019, at least 250 camps were set up.
