A member of the proscribed CPI (Maoist) Venkatapuram-Wazeedu Area Committee and seven militia members turned themselves in before Superintendent of Police Sunil Dutt in Charla town on Saturday. Among those who surrendered was Sodi Ure alias Janni, 18, an underground cadre of the rank of Area Committee Member, a native of Tumrela village in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, police said.
Ure, who was working as a guard to Venkatapuram-Wazeedu Area Committee commander Sudhakar, quit the proscribed organisation due to “disillusionment” with the Maoist ideology and “inclination” to lead a better life, police sources added.
The seven surrendered Maoist militia members belong to various border villages in Telangana’s Charla mandal, abutting the restive inter-State border with Chhattisgarh.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
