CPI MAOIST STATEMENT ON Gummudavelli Venkatakrishna Prasad alias Sukhdev alias Gudsa Usendi
DKSCZ Secretary Ramanna noted that Gummudavelli Venkatakrishna Prasad
left the party for money and a woman. Santoshi Markam alias Lalita was
just a party cadre, who was working with Sukhdev in the Press Division,
and “eloping with a woman leaving his wife behind shows his character,”
Ramanna said. Sukhdev joined the party in 1980s but left the party in
1993 when “the party was facing several problems at both militarily and
organizational level”.
He lived a peaceful life outside until 1997, and was re-inducted
“after the party duly examined his conduct”. , “many of his weaknesses
came to the knowledge of the party and the party took many steps to
rectify those”. Among his major flaws noticed were “ego, bureaucratic
approach and patriarchy”. In 1999, he was punished by the party for
having an affair with another woman. He married his present wife Raji,
whom he has now left behind.
Ramanna also refuted the Andhra police claim that Prasad surrendered
following differences with the central leadership. “If he had any
differences with the party, they could be addressed while remaining
within the party. The party is very open about such discussions,” he
said.

Surrendered Maoist a traitor, says CPI-Maoist
Condemning the surrender of State Committee member of Dandakarnya
Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) Gudsa Usendi alias Sukhdev alias GVK
Prasad, the outlawed CPI-Maoist said that the “renegade spokesperson”
has left the party without discussion and “concocting stories” of his
differences with the party. Mr Prasad had never objected to any decision
of the party’s highest body, the Central Committee (CC), nor registered
any complaints on ideological issues, while the party “provides enough
space for internal debates,” DKSZC secretary, Rammana alias Ravulu
Sriniwas said in a recorded statement.
The audio of Mr Ramanna’s statement was played to The Hindu by a
senior member of the Maoist cultural front, Chaitanya Natya Manch (CNM)
on Monday, from the forest areas of southern Chhattisgarh. The
middle-aged leader from Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh, GVK Prasad
surrendered with a woman comrade before Andhra Pradesh police last week.
In nearly 20 minute long statement Mr Ramanna strongly denounced the
erstwhile Spokesperson’s decision to surrender, calling him a “morally
flawed” individual. “He was once suspended by the party in 1993 for
moral misdemeanour but was re-inducted after repeated requests.
But Sukhdev proved to be a weak person and a traitor,” the statement
said. During his tenure in the party, Mr Prasad was questioned for moral
turpitude and even now he ran away with ‘another’ woman comrade, the
statement said. “His wife Raje is still in the party, while Sukhdev has
surrendered with Santoshi Madkam and the action (of running away with
another woman) exposes him to the comrades,” Mr Ramanna said.
The CNM member, who used to be Mr Prasad’s close confidant, confirmed
that the party had no idea about the spokesperson’s plan to leave the
party. “Some reports are suggesting that the party has asked him to
leave to organize urban movement, such speculations are baseless as
Usendi clearly betrayed our trust,” the CNM member said. Gudsa Usendi is
the name given to all spokespersons of DKSZC. Usendi alias Sukhdev
alias GVK Prasad explained the raison d’etre of the name to this
correspondent in 2010. “Gudsa Usendi was a party member from Abujhmarh
who was killed on 26 April, 1999. Perhaps the first tribal martyr from
the area (Orchha) and the name traditionally passes to the DKSZC
spokesperson,” Mr Prasad explained. He spoke highly about his comrades
and reiterated that party does not tolerate any ‘moral corruption.’
The same party is pulling now punches to call Mr Prasad, a man with
flawed sense of morality, unsuitable for a revolutionary. Over last five
years, Mr Prasad emerged as the voice of the banned party in the forest
and escorted writers, journalists or rights activists during their tour
of Bastar. It is a puzzle why CPI- Maoist retained Mr Prasad as their
spokesperson even after receiving allegations against him. Answering the
question, another surrendered senior leader told The Hindu that Mr
Prasad’s grasp over many languages and ability to teach and lead younger
members made him “virtually irreplaceable” in the party. The party is
yet to appoint the new spokesperson – the next Gudsa Usendi – of DKSZC,
the CNM member said.
