'True Freedom' Arrives in Bastar! Amit Shah Makes Major Development Announcement
Jagdalpur (Chhattisgarh), May 19, 2026: Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a press conference today in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. During the event, he made a momentous announcement declaring that the Bastar district has become Naxalism-free. He explicitly stated that not only Bastar, but the entire nation of India has been liberated from Naxalism.
Amit Shah remarked, “The fear that gripped the minds of the people of Chhattisgarh has vanished. The credit for this goes to the personnel of the Indian security forces. They have made the supreme sacrifice.” He further noted that while development had been stalled for several decades due to Naxalism, a new era of development has now begun.
A New Direction for Development
Shah announced plans to establish a vast network for the dairy sector in Bastar. A scheme will be implemented to provide one cow and one buffalo to every tribal family. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring that the benefits derived from forest produce reach the tribal communities directly. The Central Government remains committed to accelerating the pace of development in Bastar following the eradication of Naxalism.
Criticism of the Congress
While criticizing the Congress party, Amit Shah stated that the previous Congress government in Chhattisgarh had failed to cooperate in the efforts to eliminate Naxalism. He highlighted that operations against Naxalites were intensified after the BJP government assumed power on December 13, 2023, and the positive results of those actions are evident today.
The Contribution of the Forces
The entire credit for eradicating Naxalism belongs to the security forces. Thousands of personnel have laid down their lives in this struggle. The objective of eliminating Naxalism was successfully achieved by March 2026. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and other senior leaders were present during this event.
Summary: With Bastar becoming Naxalism-free, an atmosphere of jubilation prevails across Chhattisgarh and the entire nation. The focus will now shift to development, employment generation, and tribal welfare. This milestone is being hailed as a historic event in the context of India's internal security.
