On January 17 night, the two left wing extremist (also known as Naxalites) outfits, Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and the Communist Party of India-Marxist Leninist (CPI-ML Janashakthi) announced their withdrawal from peace talks with the Andhra Pradesh government. Naxalite leaders Ramakrishna and Amar, ‘state secretaries’ of the CPI-Maoist and the Janashakthi respectively, declared they were not keen to continue with the peace talks as the Congress government had deployed the elite Greyhound commando force in the forests to wipe out Naxalites. The joint statement released to the media was signed by the CPI-Maoist ‘State Committee secretary’, Ramakrishna, the ‘North Telangana Special Zonal Committee secretary’, Jampanna, the ‘Andhra-Orissa Border Special Zonal Committee secretary’, Sudhakar, the Janashakthi ‘State secretary’, Amar, and senior leader, Riyaz. "We have seen through the conspiracy of the government to keep us bound by the ceasefire agreement while the police and anti-Naxalite forces run amuck in the forests killing our activists," the statement said. The announcement reportedly came within hours of the state government’s decision to set the agenda and schedule for the second round of peace talks.
