Kolkata: After Monday's massacre by Maoists in Dantewada, Maoist leader Kishanji has resurfaced in a video footage calling for a bandh.
In the video sent to local channels, Kishenji calls for a bandh on Tuesday and Wednesday in West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and Chhattisgarh.
This is the first time Kishenji has spoken out since the reports that he was either dead or injured in a security operation against Naxalites near Lalgarh.
"I have been well and now I am speaking with you as before," said the Maoist leader, who is demanding an end to operation Greenhunt.
He has also criticised the Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for not protesting effectively against rising prices.
