The recovery was made on the tip-off by a Maoist, Bhola Pal, who surrendered on October 4. "Each booster weighed 125 gram and contained nearly 120 gram of TNT which takes total weight of explosive materials to around 64 kg in 534 units of boosters capable of bringing down a 10-storied building within minutes," said Additional Superintendent of Police (operation) Apoorva.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) called upon its cadres to repeat Dantewada like attack (in which 75 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed in Chhattisgarh in April 2010) as a counter offensive to the Operation Green Hunt taken up by the UPA Government to crush the Maoist movement in the Dandakaranya region. A report signed by spokesperson Abhay and released on October 4, said the Maoists had lost 1500 of their comrades after the formation of the party and 300 in the last one year. In all, 10,000 people died in the Naxal movement in the country, the report said. It stated that there was a qualitative change in counter-intelligence activities after UPA came to power for the second time. The party said the "War on People" in Andhra-Orissa, Telangana-Chattisgarh, Jharkhand-Orissa, Jharkhand-Bihar and Dandakaranya regions was influenced by the "War on Terror" unleashed by the US." The report also noted that though the movement had suffered some setbacks in Andhra Pradesh and north Chhattisgarh and north Orissa, it had many successes which compensated the loss and gave a boost to the self confidence of the cadres. According to the note, eight top most leaders, including Azad, were killed between May 2009 and June 2010 and another 10 state-level leaders were either killed or were put behind bars. The party listed the attacks of Singanamadugu, Tadimetla, Kongera (Chhattisgarh), Laheri (Maharashtra), Sankrail and Silda (Bengal), Gumla, Vishnupur, Latehar (Jharkhand) Tandwa Bazar (Bihar) as successful attacks and said all these incidents won the party the support of the revolutionary forces, intellectuals, democrats, progressive and patriotic forces.

According to Indian Express, in a bid to stage a comeback in Andhra Pradesh, especially in North Telangana, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have chalked out a plan to ignite the anti-Polavaram dam sentiments and the unrest over Telangana, which was revealed from the diaries, letters and literature recovered from two Maoist camps in Khammam District. This is the first time that conclusive proof has been found about the Maoists’ strategy in Andhra Pradesh. “The documents we recovered from two Maoist camps in Khammam District during anti-Maoist operations in the last one week [Ashwaraopet mandal (administrative unit), October 5 and Gollamadugu village in Velerpadu mandal, October 7] indicate that a high-level meeting of North Telangana Special Zonal Committee and CPI-Maoist leaders was held in Bijapur in the last week of August. One specific resolution was passed in this meeting: that they should intensify efforts to ‘re-establish their existence’ and ‘dominate’ in Khammam, Warangal and Karimnagar, and start an anti-Polavaram dam movement. This meeting was attended by dalam (squad) commanders of the three Districts besides leaders of Dandakaranya and Andhra-Orissa border,” said an official involved in anti-Maoist operations in Khammam.
