The killing of tribal people after branding them as police informers and the harassment and suppression of the Dalam members hailing from various tribal groups are the prime reasons behind the Maoists losing base in Andhra Pradesh and the neighbouring States, said Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) K.V. Rajendranath Reddy.
“The efforts of the Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee [AOBSZC] of the CPI (Maoist) to convert the cut-off area into a guerrilla war zone have fallen flat,” he said.
