Revanth Reddy Meets Jana Reddy To Discuss Operation Kagar

The Telangana government has initiated the process of taking steps to evaluate the peace talks proposal put forward by the Naxalites.

In this context, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy visited the home of senior Congress leader and former minister Jana Reddy today to talk about Operation Kagar, potential peace talks, a ceasefire, and other related issues.

This action follows a meeting between the Peace Talks Committee and the Chief Minister at his residence on Sunday, during which the committee encouraged him to initiate peace negotiations involving the Union government and the Naxalites.

Jana Reddy is said to bring valuable experience in facilitating peace talks and ceasefires, having served as Home Minister during earlier negotiations and played a key role in those discussions. The CM said that he would therefore seek Reddy's counsel regarding the ceasefire and peace talks.

In the course of the meeting with Jana Reddy, Revanth Reddy had a phone conversation with senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh. (Digvijay Singh was the party in-charge of the combined Andhra Pradesh during the peace talks with the Naxalites in the past.)

Meanwhile, members of the Peace Talks Committee are appreciating the Chief Minister's prompt reaction to Operation Kagar.

Former chief minister and BRS President K Chandrashekar Rao also responded to the issue of Operation Kagar at the BRS silver jubilee celebrations held in Warangal, demanding that the BJP-led union government end its operation targeting the Naxalites and initiate peace negotiations with them.

KCR said that the operation, concentrated primarily in neighbouring Chhattisgarh, was unjust and not in line with moral principles, and that there was no "dharma" in the actions taken.

If the Telangana government takes a positive decision on the peace talks and ceasefire demanded by the Naxalites, it will also have an impact on some other State governments. If the remaining State governments also respond positively, the pressure is likely to increase on the union government to join the talks.
