Surrendered Maoist Leaders Meet Telangana Chief Minister to Discuss Political Agenda

On February 27, 2026, several recently surrendered Maoist leaders, including Thippiri Tirupati (Devuji), Malla Raji Reddy, Bade Chokka Rao, and Nune Narsimha Reddy, met Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at the State Secretariat in Hyderabad. The meeting, attended by senior officials, focused on the leaders' political agenda, which they stated remains unchanged. It is yet unclear if they plan to enter politics by forming a new party, though some former Maoists in Telangana have previously joined political parties or launched their own.
