Chandrababu Naidu,
acting as an agent to imperialists invited the foreign investments and mortgaged
state to the MNCs. Andhra Pradesh is the first state which entered into direct
agreement with foreign investments without any intervention of central
government. As the 1800 kms. stretch of costal area was with full of natural
resources, it is attracting the imperialists. Having recognized that a strong
revolutionary movement is going to become an obstacle for their unhindered
exploitation, and no safety for their investments, the imperialists are
collaborating with the AP State government and began providing their assistance
in suppressing the revolutionary movement. In this back ground new attack has
begun on the revolutionary movement since 1997 with Low intensity war
strategy. This strategy comprises various forms like establishing a
well-knit informer network, creating coverts, attacking, murdering and
threatening the mass organizational leadership through renegades.
Surveillance and building up Informer network
As a part of constant
surveillance, the intelligence persons are taking the houses on rent near to the
person to constantly monitor all their movements. Maintaining a continuous watch
on the localities where there were activites were previously but not now, is
another method followed by the enemy. Building up informer network in the name
of Maitri Sanghams is another technique they are adopting. For ex., in a
bastis telephone booth owner who is member of Maitri Sangham was asked to
listen to the calls made from there. He is entrusted with the job of observing
new faces to the bastis too. Once this member of maitri sangham even approached
a weak person in a mass organization to convert into covert and offered him
salary of Rs. three thousand, a mobile phone and some other perks. In another
incident, a person from RAW approached one member of mass organization and tried
to deal in a "friendly" manner and tried to extract some information.
Psychological warfare
After the killing of
Purushottam, leader of Civil liberties organization they rang up various mass
organization leaders and threatened them that they will face the same fate as
Purshottam, if they go against the government. They abused the family members
and asked them to make the activist in the family to resign from the mass
organization. To create a psychological terror, while abusing in the phone they
played the sound of cries of a person being tortured in the police custody. The
police attacked an activist of separate Telangana movement and threatened him
that he will face the same fate as Azam Ali (who was killed in Nalgonda by
renegades) if he did not desist from working for Telangana cause. Police openly
asked one of the accused in the Purshottam’s killing to present "another head to
the Ranga Reddy District Police chief", they tried to terrorise many people.
Kattula Sammaiah, a renegade, who died at Colombo Air port, mobilized some
surrendered people and offered to Rs. 5 lakhs for killing a target and gave him
Rs. 3 lakh as advance. After the death of Sammaiah, the person who had taken
advance was afraid and disclosed this. They tried to create terror in some other
people by propagating that Azam Ali was not their real target and they killed
him only as the real target did not come there.
Despite all these
efforts, the enemy failed to create terror in the people and activists of mass
organizations. People have moved in thousands to express their wrath against the
murders of their beloved leaders. Held protest demonstrations, without caring
the repression. Thousands have participated in the open meetings held 0n various
occasions. Intellectuals expressed their dissent by condemning the way
government is maintaining the hired killing gangs. The writers, artists and
intellectuals seriously responded on the murdering and threatening the mass
organization leaders.
Creating extensive
mass base and adhering firmly to the mass line, forming wide and broad united
fronts and isolating the main enemy and understanding the concrete tactics of
the enemy and creatively countering them are the methods adopted worldwide in
the revolutionary movements to defeat the enemy, how stronger at present he
might be.
