'Holistic approach' adopted to tackle Naxalism: BJP leader Boora Narsaiah Goud

BJP leader Boora Narsaiah Goud details the government's multi-faceted strategy against Naxalism, crediting development and a shift in public mindset.

"The BJP government did not see it as only law and order. They saw it as a social, developmental, and tribal issue. - Boora Narsaiah Goud"

Hyderabad, April 1

BJP leader Boora Narsaiah Goud on Tuesday said that the BJP government adopted a 'holistic approach' to deal with Naxalism, viewing it not just as a law and order issue but also as a social and developmental challenge.

He said that the government's strategy focused on addressing the concerns of tribal and underprivileged communities, which helped in bringing down Naxal activities over time.

Speaking about Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on Naxalism, he said, "The statement of Amit Shah about Naxalism was how the BJP government was determined to deal with it..."

He further explained that the government did not treat Naxalism only as a policing issue but looked at broader factors. "The BJP government did not see it (naxalism) as only law and order. They saw it as a social, developmental, and tribal issue. Because the BJP government took a holistic approach, thousands and thousands of Naxals have surrendered. That is the commitment," he said.

Goud also highlighted that tribal and weaker sections were the most affected during the long period of Naxal violence, "Because in the long history of Naxalism, the tribals and downtrodden sections were the most affected, either by the violence or because of the oppression."

He added that development in tribal and forest areas has led to a significant change in people's mindset, contributing to the decline of Naxalism. "Now, with these measures, the rapid development in the tribal and forest areas has brought a very dedicated change in the mindset of the people, and that has resulted in the decline of Naxalism," Goud added.

He also credited the central leadership for these efforts, "We must thank Amit Shah, the BJP government and PM Modi for their efforts to see it as a holistic issue."

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday, replying to the debate in Lok Sabha on efforts to free the country from Left Wing Extremism, that Naxalism has been almost eradicated from Bastar and the region is now on the path of progress.

Good to hear about the holistic strategy. But I hope the 'development' they talk about is real and sustainable, not just roads and buildings. The tribal communities need education, healthcare, and respect for their way of life.

Surrender of thousands of Naxals is a massive achievement. It shows when the government addresses the root cause - poverty and neglect - peace follows. Kudos to the leadership.

As someone from Telangana, I've seen the change. The violence in Bastar region has reduced significantly. The combination of security and development works. Hope this continues.

While the progress is commendable, let's not forget the tribals who suffered for so long. The 'holistic approach' must include justice and rehabilitation for those affected families. Development alone cannot heal old wounds.

Interesting read. The multi-pronged strategy of combining security with socio-economic development seems to be a model that could be studied for other conflict zones globally. Well done.
