Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday (November 11, 2025) expressed confidence that Maoism could be eradicated from the State before the Centre’s March 2026 deadline. He made the remarks while urging industrialists from Gujarat to invest in Chhattisgarh “without any fear” during the Chhattisgarh Investor Connect event held in Ahmedabad.
On the concluding day of his two-day Gujarat summit, CM Sai said that Maoism had long hindered industrial growth in the mineral-rich state, but the situation was rapidly improving. “Chhattisgarh is a mineral-rich state with immense industrial potential. However, development was stalled due to Naxalism. In January 2024, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a target to eliminate Naxalism by March 31, 2026. We are succeeding in our mission, and many key Maoist leaders have been neutralised. I am confident that Naxalism may end before the deadline,” he said.
