Congress is somewhere involved in naxal incidents taking place in Chhattisgarh, alleged former state Home Minister and senior BJP leader Nanki Ram Kanwar.
Speaking to the media during his visit to Pendra, Kanwar alleged, “Somewhere Congress is involved in the naxal incidents taking place in the state. A Congress leader running away from the spot of the Jhiram incident while others fall prey to the attack is proof of this.”
Earlier the Manmohan Singh-led Congress government at the centre did not order the force to combat Naxalism despite repeated requests, he further alleged.
