“The Narendra Modi government will eliminate Naxals from the country in a very short period of time,” Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted on April 17.
“The Central government has been conducting incessant operations against terrorism and Naxals,” he said in a statement, a day after security forces gunned down 29 Maoists in Chhattisgarh.
"I can say with conviction that operations against Naxals will continue in the times to come, and under the leadership of Modi, we will uproot Naxalism from our nation in a very short period of time," Mr. Shah said.
