On Saturday, Union home minister amit shah referred to naxalism as "the biggest challenge" to the democratic system and declared that a "final assault" was necessary. In addition, he declared that by march 2026, naxalism will be eradicated from the nation.
 
At a news conference in Raipur, amit shah declared, "I think that our fight has reached the end phase and by march 2026, we will be able to free the country completely from naxalism."
 
Following his meetings in chhattisgarh, where he reviewed the level of interstate cooperation, the Left Wing Extremism scenario, and the security and development conditions in Left Wing Extremism-affected districts of the state, amit shah made his observations.

"We think that the largest threat to our country's democratic system is naxalism. Naxalism claimed the lives of 17,000 individuals within the past 40 years. We have taken this as a challenge since the PM Modi-led bjp took office at the federal level and have worked to integrate naxalites—those who carry weapons—into society," amit shah stated in Raipur.
 
According to him, the purpose of the meeting in chhattisgarh was to devise strategies for addressing the problem, including removing obstacles encountered during infrastructure projects and fully implementing central and state government schemes in naxal-affected areas.
 
"Now is the moment to launch the last offensive and use ruthless politics to combat naxalism and left-wing extremism," amit shah declared.
 
Amit Shah stated that since the bjp took office in december of last year, 126 Naxals have been slain till august of 2024.
 
"We've made great progress. Less than 100 people lost their lives in 2022. It had never happened before. The top 14 leaders of the Naxals have been taken out. We have been successful in instilling people's trust," he declared.
 
According to him, between 2019 and 2024, Bihar, Jharkhand, and maharashtra (to a certain extent) lost their designation as Naxal-affected states.
 
"I want to drive a last nail in this problem's coffin. Today's meeting included all the relevant officials from the states afflicted by Naxal. We both felt that it poses the greatest risk to us. This threat claimed the lives of around 17,000 individuals, he continued.
