'Basavaraju killing a success, but gun can't kill ideology'
The Morning Standard

He tells Mukesh Ranjan that he exuded confidence that the state apparatus has now started dominating the military formations of the Maoists. Excerpts:
How do you see one of the biggest anti-Naxal operations in recent times, in Chhattisgarh, where nearly 70 Maoists have been killed?
It is a major achievement of the security forces. It is also a significant endorsement of the governments' policy and integrated strategy. The multi-pronged strategy of successive Union governments has gained momentum and is beginning to dominate the military formations of the LWEs. The success is also due to the 'All-India Response System' in place.
How significant an impact will the killing of Maoist leader Basavaraju have on the left-wing movement?
