A Maoist ideologue, Varavara Rao’s name is being linked to the Maoists murder plot unearthed by the ATS team. There are reports that one of the letters which suggested for funds of Rs 8 crore had the name of VaraVara Rao. But Rao charged that the letter was fabricated by the police for lifting the sagging image of the PM Narendra Modi.
There were also earlier instances that whenever the image of Modi was dented, the police promptly released a conspiracy theory of killing the PM he said. I have got nothing to do with the letter and the letter is fabricated he opined. The Maoists do not have that kind of knowhow to kill the Prime Minister he opined.
The police just can foist false cases on me and arrest me he said. He was in Hyderabad and spoke to the media and clarified that he has got nothing to do with the letter. The letter was planted to gain sympathy for the Prime Minister he opined.
The latest development in case follows the arrests of Wilson, who is the secretary of Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners, advocate Surendra Gadling, General Secretary of Indian Association of Peoples’ Lawyers, Shoma Sen, Head of Department of English at Nagpur University (both from Nagpur), Mumbai journalist and ‘Vidrohi’ editor Sudhir Dhawale, and Mahesh Raut, an activist of Bharat Jan Andolan and a former Fellow at Prime Minister’s Rural Development programme in Gadchiroli.
