PM Modi said that before 2014, 75 districts across India were affected by Naxalism, which has now been cut short to 18.

“The people of Bihar are witnesses to how we have eliminated those who spread violence and unrest in the past years. How Naxalism was dominant in the Sasaram and nearby districts a few years ago… These people had no faith in Babasaheb Ambedkar. Even in those circumstances, Nitish Kumar tried his best for development here… Before 2014, more than 75 districts were Naxal-affected. Now, only 18 districts are left Naxal-affected. The day is not far when Maoist violence will be completely eradicated”, PM Modi said.

Praising Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, PM Modi said that when the “Jungle Raj” was removed under Nitish Kumar’s leadership in Bihar, the state began to move towards development.

PM Modi asserted that broken highways, bad railways, and limited flight connectivity have become history in Bihar. A web of four-lane highways and bridges is being constructed in the state.

“When the Jungle Raj government was dismissed under Nitish Kumar’s leadership here, Bihar also started moving ahead on the path of progress. Broken highways, bad railways, limited flight connectivity, that era has now become history… A web of four-lane highways is being constructed in Bihar… Bridges are being constructed on all major rivers”, PM Modi said.

Recently, the Indian forces conducted a major anti-Naxal operation in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur, eliminating 27 Naxals, which included top commander Basavaraju.

Basavaraju, who was the general secretary of CPI (Maoist) was active in Naxalite activities for the last 40-45 years and was involved in more than 200 Naxalite activities (ANI)
