PM Modi heads to Bastar to celebrate Diwali with security personnel

What's behind this

Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked Diwali in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar district by honoring security forces that he said had weakened Maoist terror and helped end armed Naxalism. He described the festival as the first Diwali since the defeat of Naxalism, noting that every district is now free from the insurgency and that development is flourishing in areas once dominated by Maoists. Modi credited right‑wing policies, strong political will and actions that struck funding for Naxals and secessionists for the victory. He also warned that ‘dimagi Naxals’ remain a threat to internal security.
