Four senior leaders of the banned CPI (Maoist) organization joined the mainstream in the presence of the Director General of Police, B Shivadhar Reddy here on Tuesday.
Tipiri Thirupati alias Devji alias Kumma Dada, a Central Committee Member (CCM) and Politburo Member of banned CPI (Maoist), Malla Raji Reddy alias Sangram, a CCM, Bade Chokka Rao alias Damodar alias Jagan, and Nune Narsimha Reddy alias Ganganna alias Sannu
Dada, both State Committee Members (SCM).
While Thirupati was underground for 44 years, Raji Reddy for 46 years, Damodar for 28 years and Narsimha Reddy was underground for 36 years.
The decision of Devuji and other Maoist leaders to surrender SCM reflects the growing ideological differences and internal conflicts within the leadership, committees, and various formations of the CPI (Maoist), Reddy said.
