Bastar: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah addresses during the “Bastar Dussehra Lokotsav” at the Swadeshi Mela in Jagdalpur, Bastar, Chhattisgarh on Saturday, October 04, 2025. HM Shah, however, dismissed these gestures, reiterating that the government's stance remains clear: surrender or face elimination. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ensured more than 15,000 houses for families affected by Naxal violence," the Union Home Minister added. "Some people talk of dialogue, but what is left to talk about when we have implemented the best surrender policy. In Bijapur district alone, 410 Maoists have surrendered this year, including several senior leaders with bounties on their heads.
