Central Military Commission
CC, CPI (Maoist)
Let us celebrate the 25th anniversary of the PLGA from 2 December to 8
December 2025 across the country with revolutionary enthusiasm!
Dear comrades and people,
The People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), which is carrying
forward the people’s war for the victory of the New Democratic
Revolution in the country, completes twenty-five years on December 2. On
this occasion, the Central Military Commission (CMC) calls upon all
Party committees, all Party ranks, all PLGA commands, all units, all
mass organisations and the revolutionary people to celebrate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the PLGA from 2 December to 8 Decemberacross
the country. It must be done in the forests, in the plains and in the
urban areas. It must be done with revolutionary fervour. It must be done
with firm resolve.
The CMC gives the following call to the entire revolutionary camp.
Let us protect the Party. Let us protect the PLGA. Let us protect the
mass organisations. Let us protect the revolutionary movement. All this
is necessary in the face of Kagar’s revolutionary and defensive war.
Let us intensify the class struggle against the alliance of imperialist,
comprador, autocratic capitalist and landlord classes. Let us intensify
the struggle against the Brahminical Hindutva fascist RSS BJP
governments at the Centre and in the states.
On the occasion of the 24th anniversary of the PLGA, the CMC placed
these tasks before the entire Party, the PLGA, the people’s
organisations, and the revolutionary people. During the past year, all
Party committees have worked with enthusiasm. They have worked with
determination, courage and discipline. The CMC conveys revolutionary
greetings to all Party ranks, to all the PLGA commands and commanders,
to all fighters, to all leaders of the mass organisations, to all
activists, to all members of the people’s militia and to all
revolutionary people.
The CMC conveys revolutionary greetings to all comrades who have
participated in political, military, organisational, cultural, and
tactical efforts over the past year. They have done this while facing
the revolutionary and defensive war against the Operation Kagar on their
own strength. The CMC also expresses confidence that the comrades who
were injured in guerrilla warfare in the various revolutionary regions
of the country have recovered quickly with courage. It believes that
they have again taken their place and have fulfilled their
responsibilities in the guerrilla war.
Over the past year, our comrades confronted the Kagar war
single-handedly and resisted it with unwavering determination. Many
brave guerrillas became martyrs in these battles. Many lost their lives
in encirclement and annihilation operations. Numerous comrades
sacrificed their lives in encounters with the enemy. Many were killed in
fake encounters. Others attained martyrdom during offensive actions
against the enemy. Some lost their lives due to betrayals. A few
comrades died in accidents, while others passed away due to ill health.
The Central Military Commission (CMC) bows its head and offers humble
revolutionary homage to all these martyrs.
From January 2024 onwards, the Kagar war became increasingly severe each
day. Our comrades did not fear it. They stood against the enemy. They
did not retreat. They fought to the last breath. The martyrs showed
unparalleled courage. They showed defiance that never surrendered to the
enemy. They exhibited a style of struggle that did not fear death. They
showed perseverance that never tired. They proved their commitment and
dedication to the people. They demonstrated unshakable faith in
revolutionary victory. They are a great role model for us. They are an
eternal example. We shall uphold their ideals. We shall take their
heroic resistance and their deeds to the world. We shall praise their
principles. We shall follow their footsteps. We shall pledge to fight
steadfastly to our last breath for the fulfilment of their ideals.
In the past eleven months, from December 2024 to November 2025, 320
comrades became martyrs across the country in the course of resisting
the Kagar war. Of them, 183 were male comrades. One hundred seventeen
were female comrades. The identity of 20 persons is yet to be known.
Twenty-two comrades became martyrs in Bihar and Jharkhand. One in
Assam. Two hundred and forty-three in Dandakaranya. Thirty-three in
Odisha. Seven in MMC. Eight in Telangana. Six in AOB. Among them was our
Party’s General Secretary, Comrade Basavaraju (BR).
The martyrs included eight members of the Central Committee and
fifteen from various State Committees. Twenty-five were District
Committee members, and seventy-three were from Area Committees. One
hundred and sixteen were Party members. Thirteen belonged to the PLGA.
Thirty-three were cadres and activists of various mass organisations.
Several revolutionary masses also laid down their lives. In addition,
thirty-seven persons whose organisational status could not be
conclusively established were killed.
Many revolutionary, progressive and democratic leaders and activists
of mass organisations became martyrs across the country during people’s
struggles. Some intellectuals, revolutionaries, sympathisers and friends
also passed away. In the Philippines, some members of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of that country, some commanders and
members of the New People’s Army and some leaders and activists of the
National Democratic Front became martyrs. In America, seventy-five
thousand Palestinians and fighters were killed in the genocidal war
carried out by Israel with the support of the United States government
during the past two years in Gaza. The CMC offers revolutionary homage
to all these martyrs.
During the Kagar war, we lost Comrade Basavaraju, our Party’s General
Secretary. We lost eight Central Committee members,and fifteen State
Committee members. We lost 320 comrades in total. The movement has
suffered severe losses. In this situation, some, like Sonu and Satish,
surrendered. They handed over weapons to the enemy and fled. They caused
immense damage to the movement. We are celebrating the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the PLGA in this background.
At such a time, it is the task of our Party and our PLGA to answer
the questions that arise in the revolutionary camp regarding the future
of the movement. It is our task to remove fear and anxiety. It is our
task to instil courage and build self-confidence. It is our task to lead
the entire revolutionary camp forward with firm resolve and with
unparalleled courage. As part of this overall task, we celebrate the
PLGA’s anniversary.
To fulfil this task, we must identify the causes of the severe losses
now occurring in the movement. We must correct them. We must identify
the objective conditions. We must examine the subjective conditions. We
must identify the factors that favour the movement’s advancement. Based
on these factors, we must revitalise the Party. We must consolidate the
PLGA and the mass organisations.
From the beginning of the Kagar war, our Party, our PLGA forces and
the local secret people’s organisations suffered heavy losses. They are
still suffering. The basic reason is this. Our organisations and forces
did not follow the necessary methods of secret work. They did not
implement the rules of guerrilla warfare. They did not correctly
implement the political tactics instructed by the Central Committee.
According to the tactics formed by the Central Committee and the
Politburo, our forces must not confine themselves to smaller areas. They
must work in wider areas. They must not remain centralised. They must
change to decentralised formations. They must move in small formations.
They must coordinate legal and illegal, open and secret forms of
struggle and organisation. They should lead the class struggle in this
coordinated manner. They have to mobilise workers, peasants, the middle
classes, the petty bourgeoisie, the national bourgeoisie, oppressed
social sections and oppressed nationalities in the towns, plains and
forest regions. They must integrate these sections into the
revolutionary movement.
We did not follow these tactics properly. As a result, the Party, the
PLGA forces, and the leadership suffered heavy losses. They are still
suffering. The Party and the PLGA forces suffered severe losses because
we did not withdraw some troops from Dandakaranya, the main centre of
the Kagar war, to other regions.
Let us identify the mistakes that occurred in our practice over the past
22 months. Let us correct them. Let us correctly implement the
strategies formulated by the Central Committee and the Politburo. In
this way, let us protect the Party, the PLGA and the mass organisations.
Let us protect the revolutionary movement.
