This whole 'war on maoists' is a joke - on Indians.
When UPA first came into power they rolled back every gain made by previous NDA govt in terms of the war on terror. In fact they even actively encouraged it.
Remember the incident where naxal leader Ramakrishna in AP was surrounded by police but one phone call by YSR and they had to let him go? The other one when Venkaiah Naidu's chopper was blown to bits by Naxals in Bihar and Naidu escaped on pillon of motorcyle of a passerby without asking protection from police since he knew what the police in Laloo's Bihar would have done? Even Shourie wrote at a length on how foolish this cuddling of maoist policy was. All this bits are available in IF archives.
After couple hundred deaths and failed policy, this administration has come about 180 degrees on this now. Bismark mentioned that only foolish people learn from mistake of others - these nitwits aren't worth being called foolish. As long as life and property of an Indian is cheap, our netas will continue with such hair-brained schemes.
