Maoists in Bihar recently not only killed 10 policemen in an encounter with with Bihar Police, but also captured four of them alive after a six-hour-long gunfight in a forested area of Bihar’s Lakhisarai district, police said Monday, 30th August 2010.

While massive search and rescue operation has been launched by Police, one body of captured Police has been recovered. Maoists have been demanding release of their eight arrested comrades in return for the captured police men.

Maoists claim that they had attacked and killed Bihar Police in retaliation to killing of their leader Azad along with a reporter in Andhra Pradesh few weeks back. The death of Azad has created quite controversy while Mamta Banerjee, TMC ( Trinamul Congress) Chief and Cabinet Railway Minister has recently demanded high level probe into the Azad killing.

It may be mentioned that, Bihar is going to polls later in this year and all political parties are trying not to anger Maoists, it seems.

Bihar ( a state in Eastern India) chief minister has stated that, Maoists are part of our society! While many may feel this statement to be appeasing masses as the state election is nearing in Bihar, but it may have some truth in it. Most probably, that explains why there are many highly educated urban youths are found to be in Maoists ranks!

‘Naxal elements are a part of our society even though they have been misled into following the path of violence,’ Nitish Kumar said in his address at the meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with chief ministers of Maoist-affected states.

‘Enforcement action alone leads to wider alienation, making heroes out of the leaders of the extremist organisations and leads to only symptomatic treatment, leaving the underlined disease to reappear in a more virulent form,’ he said.

The chief minister said leftwing extremism should be tackled through ‘sustained development but this needs the centre’s supportive approach to states like Bihar’.

He advocated an ‘integrated approach’ between states to deal with the problem.

He said that central government was not cooperating with his government over the demands for more paramilitary troopers.

‘Bihar has not received the requisite support from the central government,’ he said.

Amar Singh along with actress-turned-politician Jaya Prada has been expelled from Samajwadi Party on Tuesday, 2nd February.

Amar Singh has reacted that it is blessing in disguise for him.

Few weeks ago, when Amar Singh resigned from all party posts, it was almost clear that Amar Singh will no longer be part of SP.

As per report, newly appointed SP general secretary, Mohan Singh announced that Amar Singh and Jaya Prada have been expelled for ant-party activities. He termed Amar Singh’s association as “intrusion of capitalism” in socialist Samajwadi Party.

Mohan Singh said the party also suspended membership of four MLAs – Madan Chauhan, Sandeep Agarwal, Ashok Chandel and Sarvesh Singh – all Amar Singh loyalists.

“For over a month some leaders of the party have been continuously giving statements against the SP,” Singh said.

He said that on January 31, Lok Sabha member Jaya Prada had held a press conference in which she made “indecent comments” against the SP leadership and spit venom against its policies.

“She also gave statements in support of Kalyan Singh, which the party thought had dented its secular image. Any leader, howsoever important, he or she cannot be allowed to make public statements against any political party,” he said.

It may be mentioned that film star Sanjay Dutt had resigned from SP as soon as Amar SIngh resigned earlier. Most probably, with exit of Amar Singh from SP, almost all regional parties in India have become single person-single family parties!

While India made progress in many fields, but it still having the largest number of poor people in the world. It still has districts ( Dhemaji, Assam) which gets disconnected on two days rain. While it has engineering marvel like Bandra Worli Sea Link, it has “Liberated Zones” by leftist Naxalites in central India in Chattishgarh where people die routinely in Malaria as well as for a meal a day.

While India has well developed space program, it has corruption infested public distribution system and even a prime minister had to remark, only 10 paise out of every 100 paise spent on poor reach them. It has a well developed democracy and boast as largest democracy in the world, still many criminals get elected even from jails.

Happy Independence Day to India!
