HYDERABAD: With law-enforcing agencies tightening screws on their arms channels, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) cadre is now heavily dependent on country-made weapon factories of Munger in Bihar to procure small arms.
After the surrender of Gudsa Usendi (Gummadavalli Venkata Krishna Prasad), a top Maoist leader, who used to be the face of the rebel outfit in Chhattisgarh as spokesperson of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC), the Andhra Pradesh police came to know that Usendi used to have a strong courier network through which he used to communicate with his hierarchy before publishing or communicating.
If intelligence officials are to be believed, this English-speaking Maoist gained knowledge about the left-wing literature during his stay in the forest and not through any professional education. "Usendi never used any communication network. He carried out the Maoist ideology propaganda through its press unit using a wide courier network. With available information, none of the leaders from Andhra Pradesh are on their radar. However, it is a fact that Maoists are making attempts to regroup in Andhra Pradesh,'' sources in intelligence told TOI.
Usendi had married thrice and Santhoshi Markam alias Jaini, who surrendered along with him, is his third wife. Usendi's first wife died in an encounter with police, while he deserted his second wife.
Though police denied reports of Prasad's political ambitions, the surrendered Maoist speaking to the media did not rule out joining active politics. It appears that Prasad is eyeing the 2014 Assembly election and it could be one of the reasons for giving himself up.
A staunch supporter of separate Telangana state, Prasad, when questioned about his intention to participate in elections, simply said: "I might. But I will decide it later.'' The former Maoist said that he would be active by being among the people.
Earlier in the day, after producing the couple before the media, DGP B Prasada Rao said that the duo surrendered before police due to ideological differences besides health problems. To a query about the recent central alert that Maoists were gearing up to create violence during the 2014 elections, the DGP said: "The state police is well prepared to deal with it."
"Usendi opposed destruction of school buildings, blasting high tension power transmission lines and roads besides indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians by branding them as police informers,'' Prasada Rao said.
Prasad and the DGP denied reports that the former's surrender was facilitated by a minister from Warangal, which is incidentally Usendi's native district.
After the media briefing, Gummadavalli Venkata Krishna Prasad walked to his freedom as per the surrender agreement with the state government. He was given Rs 20 lakh as per the state government policy for the surrendered Maoists. Though no case is pending against Usendi in AP, however, he faces several criminal charges in Chhattisgarh and other naxal-affected states.
