NEW DELHI: The Maoists are believed to be churning out low cost rocket launchers from makeshift workshops, with parts sourced from industrial tool manufacturing units in Kolkata and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) reckons the ultras may have stockpiled 6,000 of these in the jungles of Chhattisgarh. The NIA believes the operation was being overseen by Sadanala Ramakrishna, who was recently arrested from Kolkata and was said to be slain Maoist leader Kishenji's successor.
The agency, which is investigating Ramakrishna's case, found that the chief of CPI (Maoist) Technical Research and Arms Management Unit may have already managed to send over 6,000 rocket launchers to Chhattisgarh.
The agency found evidence that in his seven-month clandestine stay in Kolkata, the trained engineer from Warangal spent close to Rs 2 crore manufacturing ultra-low cost rocket launchers whose designs and assembling techniques were formulated by him.
Pegged back by security forces across the country and having lost several senior functionaries to either encounters or arrests, sources said the CPI (Maoist) has been on the offensive and has sought to drastically improve its military capability.
It was with this focus that Ramkrishna, known as RK in Maoist circles, replaced Kishenji in the party hierarchy and was entrusted with spreading Maoist activity in eastern India.
Reds kept aside Rs 200 crore for arms: NIA

Pegged back by security forces across the country and having lost several senior functionaries to either encounters or arrests, sources said the CPI(M) has been on the offensive and has sought to drastically improve its military capability.
It was with this focus that Ramkrishna, known as RK in Maoist circles, replaced Kishanji in the party hierarchy and was entrusted with spreading Maoist activity in eastern India. "There is information that CPI (Maoist) has earmarked about Rs 200 crore for weaponry and ammunition. We are trying to verify this," an officer privy to investigation details said
WTF are they preparing for some kind of war.... like Moist in Nepal or Hezbollah
