Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh accused the government on Tuesday of having entered into a compromise with the Naxals. He added that CM Raman Singh and the BJP is being helped by them.
The comment comes after a Naxal attack on CRPF jawans in Sukma, Chhattisgarh on Monday, which martyred 25 soldiers. The attack, said to be the worst Naxal attack in seven years, occurred when CRPF personnel were providing security for road construction work in the Kalapathar area of the south Bastar region.
Though no bodies have been discovered, armed forces claimed that a significant number of Naxalites were also killed in action.
