In recent years, evidence has surfaced linking the Congress Party with extremist groups like the CPI (Maoists) and international entities like George Soros working against India’s sovereignty. This alliance, leveraging caste-based unrest and radical narratives, raises critical questions about national security, political ethics, and the pursuit of power at any cost.
Congress Mukt Bharat’ and ‘Maoist Mukt Bharat’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently advocated for a ‘Congress Mukt Bharat,’ aiming to zero down the Congress’s influence from Indian politics. Concurrently, Home Minister Amit Shah has championed the cause of a ‘Maoist Mukt Bharat’ by 2026, focusing on eradicating left-wing extremism.
The Bhima Koregaon Investigation: Exposing the Nexus
The Bhima Koregaon case brought to light troubling details about Urban Naxals and their connections with political entities. Maharashtra’s Pune Police uncovered letters, resolutions, and evidence which are now part of the NIA investigation, tying CPI (Maoist) leaders to a larger plot to destabilise India through violence and divisive narratives.
Plot to Assassinate Prime Minister Modi
One of the most shocking revelations was a plan to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A letter dated April 18, 2017, from Maoist leader Rona Wilson to Comrade Prakash, explicitly mentions a “Rajiv Gandhi-type incident” as part of the strategy. The goal: eliminate Modi to disrupt the political and social fabric of the nation.
Alliance Between CPI (Maoists) and Congress
Documents reveal a troubling connection between the Congress Party and CPI (Maoists). During a 2015 Eastern Regional Bureau meeting, the Maoists explicitly resolved to oppose the Modi government, citing difficulties faced after the Congress Party’s 2014 electoral loss.
A letter dated January 2, 2018, further illuminates this nexus. Written by Comrade M to Rona Wilson, it highlights conversations between CPI (Maoist) urban leadership and Congress intermediaries. The letter outlines strategies to use caste-based mobilisation, particularly Dalit unrest, against the BJP and RSS. It also details promises of legal and financial aid from Congress, including support for the release of jailed Maoist leaders like Kobad Ghandy and Com. Sai.
The convergence of interests between the Congress Party and the CPI (Maoists) has led to a troubling alliance. On one hand, the Congress seeks to regain power by any means necessary. On the other, the CPI (Maoists) aim to dismantle India’s democratic framework and sovereignty. Together, they share a “common minimum programme” centred on destabilisation, unrest, and weakening the nation’s unity.
Caste Politics: A Weapon for Destabilisation
Rather than working toward the upliftment of Dalits, these entities appear to exploit caste issues for political and ideological gain. The alleged coordination between CPI (Maoists) and Congress involves stoking caste-based grievances, inciting mass unrest, and destabilising the government.
The mobilisation of Dalit sentiments as a tool for political advantage was evident in the Bhima Koregaon riots. Congress-backed intermediaries reportedly played a role in amplifying tensions, not to address social injustices but to serve their own objectives.
The Role of Global Anti-India Forces
The involvement of international actors like George Soros adds another layer of complexity. Soros has openly declared his opposition to Modi’s leadership, criticising India’s democratic framework under BJP governance. Documents suggest that financial and ideological backing from such entities aligns with Congress and CPI (Maoist) agendas, aiming to weaken India’s sovereignty by exploiting internal divisions.
The Danger to National Security
This alleged alliance presents a dual threat:
- Internal Destabilisation: Using caste and class divisions to incite widespread unrest.
- External Interference: Partnering with anti-India forces to undermine the nation’s democratic and social institutions.
While CPI (Maoists) pursue their goal of dismantling India, the Congress Party’s willingness to align with such forces for political survival is deeply concerning.
MHA’s Resolve to End Maoism by 2026
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), under the leadership of Amit Shah, has embarked on a historic mission to eradicate CPI (Maoist) influence from India by 2026. This decisive push against left-wing extremism represents a major step toward restoring peace and stability in regions plagued by decades of insurgency. At the same time, the political dynamics surrounding this effort reveal a troubling alignment between extremist groups and opposition forces like the Congress Party, highlighting a shared agenda that threatens India’s unity and democratic framework.
The government has made significant strides in combating Maoist insurgency. By targeting the organisational and operational framework of the CPI (Maoists), security agencies have demolished urban networks, neutralised key leaders, dismantled logistical networks, and curbed recruitment drives. Development programs have also been ramped up in affected areas to address grievances and build trust among local populations.
Under Amit Shah’s leadership, the government is clear in its goal: to put the “last nail in the coffin” of Maoism. The timeline of 2026 represents a commitment to end left-wing extremism, ensuring that India moves forward as a united and peaceful nation.
Congress at a critical juncture
In stark contrast, the Congress Party finds itself at a critical juncture, struggling for political relevance. Having lost successive elections and faced diminishing public support, the party sees little hope of returning to power through democratic means. This desperation has pushed it toward controversial alliances and tactics, prioritising power over principle.
At this stage, the Congress Party not only views the Modi government as a political adversary but also perceives India’s vibrant democracy as an obstacle to its ambitions. The party’s inability to resonate with voters has led to a reliance on divisive politics, exploiting societal fractures and fault-lines to create unrest and destabilise the ruling government.
Congress has a history of demolishing the institutions when they were in absolute power and now when they are out they are demeaning and demonising the institutions.
The Road Ahead: Unity vs. Division
The Modi government’s decisive action against Maoism represents a commitment to preserving India’s unity and security. However, the alliance between opposition forces and extremists poses a significant challenge, not just to the ruling party but to the nation itself.
At this critical juncture, it is essential for the people of India to recognise the stakes. The battle is no longer just about political power—it is about the soul of the nation. On one side stands a government determined to end extremism and strengthen democracy; on the other stands an alliance willing to divide the nation for its own survival.
India’s vibrant democracy, with its institutions, freedoms, and unity in diversity, remains the ultimate target of those seeking chaos. It is now up to the citizens to see through this alliance of convenience and uphold the principles that define the nation.
It is also up to the citizens of Bharat to see through this deception. Recognising the difference between propaganda (“deep fake”) and the truth (“verified real”) is essential to safeguarding the nation’s unity and sovereignty.
Both Congress and Communists have ideologies that Ambedkar critiqued for their inadequacies in addressing the unique socio-political challenges of India. Their current attempts to invoke Ambedkar’s legacy seem disingenuous, lacking the depth of understanding and commitment that Ambedkar demonstrated in his fight for social justice.
In the words of Sardar Patel, “Every citizen of India must remember that he is an Indian and he has every right in this country but with certain duties.” It is the duty of every Indian to protect the nation from forces that seek to undermine its sovereignty and divide its people.
The choice before the nation is clear: unity or division, progress or chaos, democracy or anarchy. Let us choose wisely.
