Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, on May 10, said that talks can be held with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) if they respect the Indian Constitution and give up their weapons, reports 5 Dariya News.Speaking at a campaigning event in Bhopal, CM, Baghel said, "The Chhattisgarh government wants to build trust among the people of Maoist- affected areas. Along with giving them jobs, we are working to solve other issues as well.Keeping in mind the current situation, talks with Maoists are impossible.Negotiations with them can only happen when they show respect towards the Indian Constitution and give up weapons.Maoists earlier used to talk about ideology but now they threaten and loot people and this is why the government is taking up confidence-building measures in the Maoist-affected areas. Earlier, the amount sanctioned for development of Adivasis was used to build runways and elevators. Now, this amount will be rightly used for the development of the Adivasis and also for social welfare."
