Reworked News Report

Bengaluru, Sept. 11: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara on Friday said the state could redeploy its Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) to Tumakuru district if a purported Naxal letter that surfaced in Pavagada is found to be genuine.

A Telugu-language letter demanding Rs 5 lakh was reportedly found on the agricultural land of Kuntla Bhushappa at Gangasagara village in Pavagada taluk. The letter is allegedly issued in the name of “Comrade Devanna Dalam” of the People's War Janashakti Party and reportedly threatens serious consequences if its contents are brought to the notice of the police.

The letter allegedly claims that Naxals were intervening in an alleged case of harassment and political conspiracy involving Uppara Venkatesh and seeks Rs 5 lakh purportedly towards legal expenses.

Pavagada police have launched an investigation to verify the authenticity of the letter, identify those responsible for it and determine whether it has any links with an organised Naxal network.

The development comes after Karnataka had earlier declared itself Naxal-free following the surrender of several cadres. Authorities are now examining whether the letter represents an isolated attempt to create fear or signals an effort to revive extremist activity in the state.

Speaking to reporters, Parameshwara said he would review the situation during his visit to Tumakuru and hold discussions with the Superintendent of Police and other officials.

“I am going to Tumakuru today. I will call the SP and other officials and discuss the matter to understand what has happened. If there is any such development, we will put more force,” he said.

Parameshwara clarified that Karnataka's anti-Naxal security mechanism had not been completely dismantled despite the state being declared Naxal-free. Around half of the ANF personnel had been converted into a Special Action Force to deal with communal disturbances, while the remaining personnel continued to function as the Anti-Naxal Force.

“If Naxal activity is confirmed in Pavagada, the Anti-Naxal Force will be called to Tumakuru,” he said.

On former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's visit to New Delhi, Parameshwara rejected speculation that it was linked to dissatisfaction within the Congress. He said Siddaramaiah, being a member of the Congress Working Committee, had travelled to Delhi as part of the normal political process.

“If Siddaramaiah was unhappy, he would not have resigned,” Parameshwara said, adding that Siddaramaiah had maintained from the beginning that he would abide by the decision of the Congress high command and had accordingly resigned as Chief Minister.

“This is a closed chapter. There is no point in discussing it again and again,” he said.

On the election of S. Ravi as chairman of the Karnataka State Apex Cooperative Bank, Parameshwara denied reports of dissatisfaction within the Congress. He said the party had decided that the chairman should be elected unanimously without a contest.

Ravi was elected at the final stage, with Legislative Council member K.N. Rajanna also present at the decisive meeting. “The chairman was elected with his consent. Therefore, the question of dissatisfaction does not arise,” he said.

Asked about reports of a 2.5-year rotational formula for the Apex Bank chairmanship, Parameshwara said the bank was an independent, non-political institution and that its board of directors would take the next decision.

On the government's housing-site programme, he said ex-servicemen would also be covered under the scheme to provide 50,000 30x40-foot sites in every district for homeless beneficiaries.

In the first phase, five lakh sites would be allotted across Karnataka over the next two months, he said.
