Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel made a big statement after the attack. He said that the Dantewada incident is heart wrenching. The sacrifice of the soldiers will not go in vain. Naxalites are being pressurized, that’s why they did this cowardice. Naxalism will be uprooted. I have spoken to Home Minister Amit Shah and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. The Chief Minister condoled the death of 10 police personnel and a driver and said the fight was in its final stages.
Former Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh said that Naxalites have shown cowardice by attacking a police vehicle in Aranpur, Dantewada, I pray to God while saluting the martyrdom of 10 brave soldiers of our DRG and 1 driver who were martyred in this attack May the departed souls find a place at His feet and give strength to the bereaved family members to bear this sorrow.
