On July 13, 2010 morning at 11:30 AM Andhra Pradesh police killed Com. Ganesh (Tholem Rama Rao), Squad Commander of CPI(ML)-New Democracy in the Bakka Chintapalli village, a tribal hamlet of Polaram village in Warangal district. Com. Ganesh along with other members of the squad had gone to Bakka Chintapalli village. Coming to know of it, police contingent started from Hanmankonda (Warangal) reached the village at 11:30 AM and suddenly attacked the squad. Com. Ganesh was killed on the spot while other members of squad escaped.

Com. Ganesh, a tribal, was the resident of Gunjedu village of Pakala Kothagudem mandal of Warangal district. He was aged 26 years. He was active in PDSU. While he was student of Intermediate, he left studies to join the revolutionary movement. He joined the self-defence squad. Police executed this attack to terrorize the villagers and eliminate a revolutionary devoted to the cause of the poor and oppressed people.

While the Congress Govt. declares to solve the problems of the people, it is attacking the revolutionaries who are fighting for the people. While the Govt. talks of addressing the issues of the people, it is bent on eliminating those taking up these issues. It is launching murderous attacks against the revolutionaries, resorting to even fake encounters.

Immediately large number of villagers of Gunjedu, Bakka Chintapalli village assembled in large number (over two thousand) and protested against the police attack. The police opened fire on the angry villagers who according to media reports had pelted stones. People did not allow the police to take away the body of the martyred comrade. Only next day, the body was given for postmortem.

On 14^th July 2010 a big procession was held against the police attack. Leaders of the Party and mass organizations led the procession and later addressed the mass meeting.

Condemning this police attack, Andhra Pradesh State Committee of CPI (ML)-New Democracy has demanded a judicial enquiry by a High Court sitting judge. AP State Committee also demanded that action be taken against the police officers responsible for this attack.

CPI (ML)-New Democracy pays its homage to the revolutionary memory of the martyred comrade, expresses condolences to the members of his family and vows to carry forward the struggle for New Democratic Revolution for which Com. Ganesh offered supreme sacrifice.
