Shah alleged that in the name of tribal welfare, people were pushed towards armed activity, branding the ideology as destructive in nature. He stated, “We will uproot the Maoist problem from its roots. But the public of this country must understand this ideology. Wherever communist rule has existed, development has failed to take place.”

He expressed confidence that the people themselves would bring an end to communism in Thiruvananthapuram. Shah also appealed to Maoists to surrender and promised a warm welcome from the government.
In conclusion, Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the need for India to move away from communist ideology and expressed his intent to eliminate Maoist influence in Kerala. His address comes as months remain before the Kerala Assembly elections.
