The Chief Minister said that a big fight is being fought against the Naxalites in Chhattisgarh by the security forces and the security forces are constantly getting success in it. By this, Naxalites are carrying out such cowardly acts. The Naxalites will have to bear the consequences. The day is not far away when their existence from Chhattisgarh will be abolished. Let us tell you that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has committed to completely eliminate Naxalism from the country by March 2026. Many big Naxalites have also been killed by security forces recently in this campaign. A large number of Naxalites are also surrendering.
