Other States - Uttar Pradesh   

`SP, BJP, Congress responsible for naxalism in U.P.'

LUCKNOW, NOV. 25. The Uttar Pradesh unit of the Communist party of India (Marxist-Leninist) today alleged that the ruling Samajwadi Party, Congress and BJP were responsible for the recent spurt in naxalite activities in the eastern parts of the State.

``Direct support of these political parties to the land and forest mafias has demoralised the local people, particularly the tribals leading to some naxalite organisation taking the benefit,'' CPI (ML) State secretary Akhilendra Pratap Singh told mediapersons here.

He said the police action cannot contain the growing resentment among the people and it was forcing the masses to move towards the naxalite organisations.

However, condemning the Naugarh incident in which 15 policemen were killed in a landmine blast on November 20, he said the act was a result of `frustration' by the PWG and MCC leaders, who were now trying to shift their focus to Uttar Pradesh after Andhra Pradesh , Bihar and Jharkhand.

The leader alleged that CPI(ML) cadre were being rounded up after the Naugarh incident and the party offices were being raided. He claimed that only CPI(ML) could solve the basic problem of the masses.
