Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee ( TPCC) President Mahesh Kumar Goud has alleged that the Union Government is carrying out a massacre in the name of the Operation Kagaar.

Mahesh Kumar Goud said that despite the Maoists declaring readiness for dialogue, the Union government has initiated a ruthless ceasefire operation, resulting in deaths of women and children. "Under the guise of Operation Kagaar, the Centre is trying to hand over forest mineral wealth to corporate entities. It is unfortunate that Operation Kagaar is still ongoing," he said.

The TPCC chief took part in the reopening ceremony of the CPI Makdoom office here on Thursday. Speaking on the occasion, he paid rich tributes to the legacy of poet-revolutionary Makhdoom Mohiuddin and used the platform to deliver a scathing critique of the current political scenario in the country. Mahesh Kumar Goud described Makhdoom as a symbol of literary brilliance and revolutionary politics.

The TPCC leader also expressed disapproval of the Union Government for labeling individuals who voice opposition to the imbalanced policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration as urban naxalites.

"The very next day after I spoke against Operation Kagaar at a round table meet, I was branded as an urban Naxalite and anti-national," Mahesh Kumar Goud said. He stated that the secular forces must strengthen to safeguard the nation’s future

"There is a dire need to protect democracy in the country. It is unfortunate that the Election Commission has turned into a tool favoring select individuals, this is a dangerous development," the TPCC chief said.

Mahesh Kumar Goud also criticised the BJP-led Centre for weakening constitutional bodies. “Since coming to power, the BJP has systematically undermined institutions. The Election Commission is one such casualty. Even honest officials within the institution are now being forced to bend under political pressure,” he remarked. The TPCC chief also voiced serious concern over the functioning of the Election Commission.

“It is unfortunate that the Commission has become a tool to benefit certain individuals. In Bihar, the elimination of votes under the guise of surname discrepancies clearly benefited one particular party. This is now a matter before the Supreme Court,” he said. He welcomed the INDIA bloc’s united protest against this ‘undemocratic’ elimination process and stressed the need for all democratic forces to come together.

Mahesh Kumar Goud emphasised that communist ideology continues to remain relevant, stating, “There is no death to communist thought, and the ideology remains intact. We fought the Assembly elections in alliance with the Left parties and succeeded. Only strong secular forces can protect the future of this country". CPI leaders Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy, D. Raja, Narayana, Chada Venkat Reddy, CPI MLA Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao and other leaders were present.
