Five days before the commencement of the Maoist Martyrs’ Week, the secretary of the Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee, Gajarla Ravi alias Uday alias Ganesh, has released a letter urging the tribal people to make the programme being held from July 28 to August 3 a success.
The letter has surfaced at a time when the Maoist movement is at its lowest ebb in the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) region.
Saluting the Maoists, especially Central Committee members such as Tapan da, Chintan da, Amber da and Saket da, who had died of illness in the last one year, and Milind Teltumbde, who was killed in an encounter at Gadchiroli in Maharashtra, Ganesh pointed out that in the last one year the CPI (Maoist) had lost about 124 members, including 12 in the AOB region.
