A front runner
Hidma’s experience as a leader of the current Battalion-1, which is operational in Bastar. He is a pioneer among Maoists.
Age is his ally, as different competitors are either more seasoned than him or keeping chronic weakness. K Sudarshan (65) has been experiencing various diseases. The other competitor, M Venugopal, who is accountable for the Chhattisgarh-Maharashtra line zone, isn’t referred to be pretty much as forceful as Hidma.
If Hidma gets chosen, it will go about as a spark for the ancestral adolescents in Bastar, which is likewise an enrollment ground. The Maoist unit has been experiencing labor deficiency for a long while.
Hidma is an expert tactician in hit-and-run combat. It’s said that the Bastar landscape is in the rear of his hand.
The vast majority of the 21-part focal board of trustees of the CPI (Maoist) are keeping chronic frailty and have likewise developed old. However, as per knowledge organization sources, Bastar locale keeps on being the most grounded Maoist fort on Red Corridor. None from this area is an individual from the local council.
“There was news that Hidma had become a focal board part; however, it isn’t correct. He’s the commandant of the Battalion-1 in Bastar.
The conceivable determination of ancestral face Hidma as Central Military Commission boss will offer teeth to Naxal activity in Bastar, which is what Basava Raju needs.
