BJP's Anurag Thakur Commends Modi Government's Victory Over Naxalism

BJP MP Anurag Thakur praised the Modi government's efforts to curb Left-Wing Extremism in India, accusing the Congress of previously enabling Naxal expansion. He credited the current administration with reducing Naxalism significantly and criticized Congress for inaction. Thakur emphasized the government's decisive approach leading to diminished extremist activity.

BJP MP Anurag Thakur has fervently commended the Modi government for its assertive actions aimed at curtailing Left-Wing Extremism across India. In a recent Lok Sabha debate, Thakur was vocal about the previous Congress administration's alleged complacency, which he claims allowed the expansion of the Naxalite 'Red Corridor'.

Thakur highlighted that under the Congress-led regime, Naxalism proliferated to over 126 districts, largely due to the supposedly weak leadership. He credited the Modi government for reducing the Naxalite menace to fewer than two districts, lauding their firm resolve and targeted measures.

Meanwhile, Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the country is virtually free of Naxal influence, with significant numbers of extremist leaders surrendering or being neutralized by security forces. According to Shah, these victories signify a major step in eradicating the longstanding threat posed by Naxalism.
