In the backdrop of a spurt in Naxal violence, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday that there was complete unanimity at the Centre over dealing with Maoist menace and accused non-Congress ruled Orissa and Chhattisgarh of failing to reach out to the people to check the problem.

"There is complete unanimity as far as the government is concerned on Naxalism. State governments should reach out to the people to combat it but governments like Chhattisgarh and Orissa are not doing so," Gandhi told a press conference in Ranchi.

Replying to a question on increase in Naxal violence, he said that except for some pockets the overall law and order situation in the country was good. The advent of sophisticated weaponry, he said, was responsible for violence all over the world.

Gandhi also launched a fresh attack on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati alleging she was opposed to NREGA which was "the best scheme that benefited crores of people".

"The UP CM is not interested in NREGA and has termed it not good. We can't do much if state governments do not implement the programmes," he said.

"If state governments implement NREGA it functions smoothly. If state governments don't, then there is corruption," Gandhi said when told about corruption in the programme.

He said there were "two Hindustans --- one with basic amenities and opportunities while the other poverty-stricken" and Congress' effort was to connect the so that all people prospered.

Anger of Government and NaxalsBy: Shashikant Kumar | 16-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Its sad that GOI have lost temper in dealing with people of India, particularly the rebels in Naxals. But GOI is also guilty of not addressing the issues raised by people in the naxal infested regions. We continue to ignore and play second fiddle to the poor by giving them notion of beggers. The government doles are slap on the socialist society to accept the egalitarian model practiced in India. The great rural -urban social divide created by the system does not allow political acceptence of the naxal mandate and repeated losses of ideologies. The failure of system is long understood and recommended by the experts but GOI might listen to Rahul Gandhi only, why?? Is that a plot of congress to enhance vote bank or some serious thought have gone in accepting the failures of current socio-economic systems. The serious problems facing the country is laughed at after every babu meeting in centre and state. Governance has never come to people and it remains in the hands of powerful.

Centre is unanimous on dealing with Maoists: RahulBy: Jaideep | 16-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Rahul, yes I know the Late YSR in 2004 on his decision to STOP the Police Action against the Maoists in AP has said " WE CAN RESOLVE THIS BY TALKS".Well Congress did the verbal talking and the Maoists did the talking by their weapons and who lost your coveted AAM AADMI were massacred by their thousands.Listen up..Dude...why dont you finish some education first before opening your mouth.

white liesBy: ilarum | 16-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Rahool Beta. Why U stopped bashing Congress Governments in Andhra and Maharashtra on Naxal Menace. Vefry good. U too learned crooked politics. Always accuse opposition and support Ur party/Government though they are worse admistrators than 0pposition Governments. Always maintained hand in glove relations with Leftists. Formed previous Government with their support,and kicked them out now after u get some confortable position in numbers game. Leftists are the mothers of Moists. Think twice before making comments.

Congress' pin up boyBy: Siv | 16-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward The Naxal menace can only be attributed to three major reasons - Congress, Congress (mis)rule and Congress' lust for power. They now have a pin up boy in Rahul who would parrot his mother's thoughts - when she's not thinking about Italy. What prevents the centre from taking tough action against the Naxal menace? Nehru sidetracked from Nationalism to Socialism, Indira did better - she co-opted the commies and gave them the freedom to thug around and everybody who followed did lesser for the country that their predecessor. In the name of UPA whatever little resolve was among the security apparatus of the country was watered down to favour the minorities and now - we have proved ourselves to be so weak and dumb that we cannot control our neighbourhood thugs! What to speak of Pakistan, Bangladesh or worse - China? We go begging to them - hoping that they wouldn't raise their voice.
