The Maoists had no intention of killing West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee when they ambushed his convoy in 2008, but had hoped that the police action which followed would turn the tribals against the administration, a top arrested naxalite has said.
"If we had the intention to kill Bhattacharjee we could have killed him. We could have used a directional mine to snap the high tension line to fall on his convoy," top Maoist leader Venkateshwar Reddy alias Telugu Dipak, who was arrested on March 2 by the state CID, had told interrogators.
A landmine exploded on the convoy of Chief Minister and two union ministers Paswan and Jitin Prasada at Salboni in West Midnapore district on November 2, 2008.
"We wanted to police to make a mistake and crack down on the tribals, which they did. We were successful in capitalising on it to create a base for ourselves. The attack on the chief minister's convoy was a milestone in the Maoist movement in West Bengal."
