Objectives of the Naxalite movement
The objectives of the Naxalite movement are to capture the Indian state through armed insurgency. They want to overthrow the government. They want a system of ideological dictatorship, no ballot, no enterprise, no freedom and no fundamental rights. They want to achieve it through a guerrilla army. They want to capture the rural areas. They want these to become secluded islands of their authority. They thrive in poverty and, therefore, do not want development in any backward area. They extort money from contractors, farmers, employees and traders. They recruit cadres by paying them Rs 3,000 per person per month. They snatch weapons from the armoury of the government. Their extortion amount is Rs 1,500 crore a year. They believe power flows from the barrel of the gun. They believe that the enemy's armoury (police weapons) is their armoury. They want to encircle the cities and then capture power. They earlier wanted to kill class enemies, now they call them police informers. They use opium and poppy cultivation to collect money.

And where police cannot enter, send in engineers to build roads and schools, get kidnapped, looted and killed? You will first have to break the iron wall of these secluded areas. You will then have to continue development.
