According to the New Indian Express, alleging growing contradiction and dishonesty in the left-wing extremist movement, a front-ranking ideologue of the proscribed People's War Group (PWG), Pilla Venkateshwar Rao alias Gautam, who carried a reward of Rupees 10 lakh on his head, surrendered to the police in Andhra Pradesh on April 15. Speaking to the media in the State capital Hyderabad, Rao said that he decided to quit the PWG, with which he had a 22 year association, as he was disillusioned with the functioning and policies of its leadership. Rao, a 46-year-old lecturer by profession, is reported to have handled ‘political classes’ for the PWG cadre across the country for the past two decades. "I have lost faith in the present leadership due to political dishonesty, stifling and inherent contradictions. The party has been continuously losing its mass base in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh right from 1999, while the focus has been only on militarisation of cadre. In the given circumstances, I do not think the revolution will ever succeed," claimed Rao.

The United States has added the left-wing extremist (also called Naxalite) People’s War Group (PWG) and Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) in its Terrorist Exclusion List, according to the annual report - Patterns of Global Terrorism - released by the US State Department on April 29. The PWG and MCC are among the four Indian outfits the United States has added to the terror list. The others include the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). Welcoming the inclusion of the PWG on the US terror list, Andhra Pradesh Home Minister T Devender Goud told Deccan Chronicle on April 30 that "We have been maintaining right from the beginning that the Naxals have been indulging in violence and destruction. The inclusion of the PWG in the terror list only vindicates our stand." The Director General of Police S R Sukumara, however, said "I don’t see how this development is going to change anything. I am not even sure of the implications."
