Final Appeal to Last Standing Rebels by Woman Ex-Maoist Nagpur: A surrendered Maoist woman commander, Sangeeta Usendi, made an emotional appeal to remaining guerrillas in Gadchiroli on Saturday, urging them to abandon their armed struggle and embrace the Constitution. Usendi, wife of former Maoist leader Giridhar, called on the rebels to "not wander aimlessly in the jungle" and instead "join the mainstream" for a dignified life. Her message emphasized the futility of violence, stating that it only plunges families into darkness. Before her surrender, Usendi carried a bounty of Rs 16 lakh declared by Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh governments. Reflecting on her 22 years in the jungle, Usendi said, "I realized that violence achieves nothing. It only plunges your life and your family into darkness." She added, "That is why I chose the constitutional path." Her appeal came as authorities intensified efforts to end the decades-long Maoist insurgency, with only six hardened rebels remaining in the region. Usendi, known as Lalita, was a divisional vice-committee member in the Bhamragad Local Organisational Squad of the Maoists. She surrendered in June 2024 alongside her husband, Giridhar, who had a bounty of Rs 25 lakh. The couple laid down their arms in Gadchiroli before police, with then deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis present. The government’s surrender and rehabilitation policy offers incentives such as financial aid (4–8.5 lakh per person), Aadhaar and PAN registration, bank accounts, housing support, education for children, vocational training, employment, and security. Over 123 Maoists have surrendered in Gadchiroli since 2025, bringing the total under the policy to nearly 800. The state’s push for surrender has significantly reduced the Maoist presence in Gadchiroli.#devendra_fadnavis #amit_shah #gadchiroli #sangeeta_usendi #giridhar
Nitish Kumar's Rajya Sabha nomination today, Bihar may get new BJP CM Bihar is on the verge of a significant political shift as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar prepares to file his nomination for the Rajya Sabha election on Thursday. This move could mark the beginning of the state's first BJP-led government. Nearly four months into his record tenth term as Chief Minister, Kumar is set to step down from the state government, paving the way for a new political arrangement. According to reports, Kumar will submit his nomination at the Bihar State Assembly on Thursday, accompanied by his party colleague Ramnath Thakur, who will also contest as a Janata Dal (United) candidate. The timing of this development comes just days after Kumar turned 75, adding to the anticipation surrounding his political future. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to attend the nomination process in Patna and may engage in discussions with Kumar and other NDA leaders about the formation of a new government. Sources suggest that the BJP, which holds 89 seats in the state assembly, could claim the Chief Minister’s post if Kumar moves to the Rajya Sabha. The party might offer the JD(U) two Deputy Chief Minister positions as part of a power-sharing agreement. Other parties are also preparing their nominations, with BJP state leaders Nitin Nabin and Shivesh Kumar, as well as RLM president Upendra Kushwaha, set to file their papers. Senior JD(U) leaders confirmed that Kumar’s decision to join the Rajya Sabha is his own, emphasizing that the final call rests with him. While some within the party may express dissatisfaction with the move, internal consultations have been held to address concerns. Family members of Kumar, including his son Nishant, have also been involved in the discussions.#bjp #nitish_kumar #amit_shah #ramnath_thakur #jd_u
