Disillusionment with so called maoist movement is appearing to be the reason behind top Maoist Jampanna’s surrender. Jinugu Narsimha Reddy aka Jampanna surrendered along with his wife Rajitha. The government has officially confirmed the development.
55 year old Jampanna carried a bounty of 25 lakh in Telangana while his wife carried a bounty of 5 lakh. He was number 7 in hierarchy of maoist command and was also part of the Central Regional Bureau (CRB)of the maoists. His surrender is a major blow to maoists movement. According to Jamapanna, he developed serious differences with the top leadership of Maoist after the 5th Central Committee meeting which was held in February 2017 at the forest of Kandamal In Odisha.
He alleged that the Maoists party has lost the contact with masses especially with peasants, working class and students which culminated in his surrender on ideological grounds.
The Telangana police will give the couple the bounty which they carried earlier and the government will take all measures to rehabilitate them.
After the surrender of Jampanna, 18 other senior rebels including Ganapathi who also belongs to Telugu state have remained active but the police chiefs have a hope that more top maoist leaders will lay down weapons and surrender in coming days.
