What is there to talk, asks Amit Shah; advises Maoists to accept ‘lucrative surrender-rehabilitation policy’

On Saturday, October 4, 2025, the Union Interior Minister Amit rejected the Maoists on Saturday, October 4, and said that the government should release arms after accepting the “profitable delivery and rehabilitation policy”.

He claimed that 31 March 2026, the ‘Bastar Dussehra Lokotsav’ and ‘Swadeshi Mela’, in Jagdalpur, the center of Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region, was determined as the deadline to say goodbye to the Maoism threat.

“Some people (with Maoists) have called for talks. Let me explain again that both Chhattisgarh and central governments are dependent on the development in all regions affected by Bastar and Maoist. He said.

Here he said that he visited the Temple of the famous Maa Danshwari and prayed for the security forces to gain strength to save the entire Bastar region from “red terror” until March 31.

“Security forces, Bastar’s peace with weapons will give an answer to those who disrupt the peace,” Maoists said.

“Some people in Delhi would spread misinformation for the development struggle of the birth of Naxalism for years. But I told my tribal brothers that all Bastar was lacking my development. The main reason for this is Naxalism.”

Shah, “Today, electricity, drinking water, roads, toilets in every house, up to 5 lakh health insurance, 5 kg free rice, etc.. He has reached every village in India, but Bastar was deprived of such developments,” he said.

“Narendra Modi Govt has given Chhattisgarh more than 4 Lakh Crore for development works in 10 years. On behalf of the Prime Minister, I would like to guarantee that Maoism cannot stop your development after 31 March 2026. They will not be able to stop your rights.” He said.

“Convince those directed by Maoism to avoid violence and participate in the mainstream,” the Union Minister said to the meeting.

“The BJP government started various plans in honor of the tribal in the state,” he said.

Mr. Shah described the 75 -day Dussehra festival as one of the longest and cultural festivals in the world that honors the tribal heritage of the region.
