Maoist militants stunned the entire country with the biggest ever attack on politician in the country as the guerrillas carried out a deadly attack on a convoy of Chhattisgarh’s opposition Congress leaders at a forested patch in Sukma district on May 25, 2013.
In a cowardice act, Maoists shamed world’s biggest democratic nation in general and brought a slur on Chhattisgarh in particular when they killed at least 30 people mostly the Congress leaders.
Congress State chief Nandkumar Patel, former Minister Mahendra Karma who was credited for launch of a civil militia movement Salwa Judum and former Union Minister and nine-time Congress MP Vidya Charan Shukla were the top personalities of India’s ruling Congress, who were martyred in the attack.
