Top Naxal leader Kishenji on Friday said they are ready to tackle the government's decision to use unified command structures in four states to fight Maoists, and vowed to take revenge of Cherukuri Rajkumar alias Azad's death. "We appeal to the Indian Army and Air Force not to use military power against the people of the country. We are also ready to answer the government's use of firepower against us," Kishenji told PTI from an undisclosed location.
He claimed that the deployment of joint forces to combat Maoists was a blunder and has been unsuccessful.
Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal will have a unified command structure headed by their chief secretaries for better coordination among police, paramilitary and intelligence agencies.
