**Shah Vows to Eradicate Maoism by 2026, Slams Telangana Congress**
**Hyderabad, June 29, 2025** – Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a stern warning to Maoists in Telangana today, vowing to eliminate Maoism from the country by March 31, 2026. Speaking at a rally in Nizamabad, Shah urged Maoists to lay down their arms and surrender, promising them a path to the political mainstream, citing the success of similar efforts in the Northeast.
“Those who want to surrender can surrender and join the mainstream… But those who pick up guns will not be spared,” Shah declared, emphasizing the central government’s unwavering stance against extremism. He highlighted the surrender of over 1,500 Naxals in the last 18 months as evidence of progress.
Shah sharply criticized the Telangana Congress government for even suggesting a dialogue with Maoists. He questioned the party’s consideration for the victims of Naxal violence. “What will you tell the families of thousands of tribals who died due to Naxal violence?” he asked. “Will you justify talking to those who kill police officers, security personnel, and innocent civilians?”
He further accused the Congress of potentially transforming Telangana into a sanctuary for Maoists from across India. He urged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to prioritize eliminating Naxal ideology.
Beyond the issue of extremism, Shah launched a scathing attack on both the Congress and the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, accusing them of widespread corruption. He alleged that the Revanth Reddy government has failed to investigate corruption cases against the BRS. Shah cited alleged scams involving land records, the Kaleshwaram project, Singareni recruitments, and exam leaks.
“Just like KCR turned Telangana into an ATM for his family, the Congress has now turned it into an ATM for the Delhi high command,” he alleged.
Positioning the BJP as the only viable alternative, Shah emphasized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “double-engine sarkar” promise of progress and touted Modi’s strong stance against terrorism, stating that Pakistan now fears India.
The event was attended by Union Minister and Telangana BJP president G. Kishan Reddy, who welcomed Shah upon his arrival in Hyderabad.
