Naxal-hit Bastar gives ballots the thumbs-up, records 64% turnout - ToI

Over 64% of Bastar's 14 lakh electorate defied the Maoist threat and turned up to vote by 5pm in the first phase of the Lok Sabha polls on Friday. This figure is expected to rise.

This is being held in the backdrop of the most aggressive anti-Maoist operations in nearly two decades of insurgency. As many as 62 Maoists have been eliminated since the polling dates were declared on March 12, including 29 in a single encounter in Kanker on Tuesday.

Never before have Maoists been hit so hard ahead of any election.

Over 60,000 security personnel, nearly half of whom were central forces deployed from other states, stood guard as the Maoist-hit region gave a thumbs up to democracy. Barring two incidents in Bijapur - an accidental grenade explosion that killed a CRPF jawan and a Maoist IED blast that injured an officer - polling was conducted peacefully.

Voting started at 7am. It was after 9.30am that polling picked up and by 11am, the turnout touched 29%. Around 2pm, it had shot up to 43%, a polling official told TOI. Polling ended at 3pm in Kondagaon, Dantewada, Bijapur, Konta and Narayanpur segments of Bastar constituency. In Jagdalpur, it went on till 5pm.

Bastar range IG P Sundarraj and divisional commissioner Shyam Dhawade voted at Haathkachora polling booth in Jagdalpur. Congress candidate Kawasi Lakhma and BJP's Mahesh Kashyap cast their votes in Nagaras in Sukma and Kalcha in Bastar.

Elderly people came in wheelchairs and on crutches. Since it's marriage season, several brides and grooms were seen in queue to cast their vote, decked in wedding finery.

2 days back, in another major pest-control operation, 10 Maoists were killed by our security forces in Bastar!

Our boys are being given a free hand & all the support by both Amit Shah and Chattisgarh CM. Kudos!

[Prem Kumar]

9 more Maoists killed in Chattisgarh. Count is 201 this year. CM Vishnu Deo Sai is going great guns, with lots of backing from Amit Shah!

His cleanup act is like that of Yogi against the UP gangsters

Good leaders hit the ground running & make an impact within a few months. We see this in the corporate world & in politics. If they don't make an impact right away, chances are they are duds & won't make an impact in a few years either

20,000 troops surround 1,000 Naxals in major op in Chhattisgarh: Sources
The massive crackdown comes as Union Home Minister Amit Shah set a deadline of March 31, 2026, to eliminate naxalism.

The operation, which has been ongoing for over 48 hours, was launched following intelligence inputs on the presence of top Naxal leaders, including the elusive and most-wanted commander Hidma and battalion chief Deva.

There was reports of them slipping into Telangana. Drones should be used for targeting rather than just tracking, so that we have better results.

Meanwhile the Maoists/Naxal b***ds are also getting roasted in other parts of India.

PM Modi also referred to the progress made in dealing with Maoist violence, saying India was fighting against its enemies, both across the border as well as within the country.
He said there were 125 Maoist-affected districts before 2014 when he took over as prime minister. “Now the number has been reduced to just 18 and the day is not far when they will be completely wiped out to ensure peace, safety, development, education and employment everywhere,” he said.
