Naidu hastened to add that he was not ready for unconditional talks with Naxalites as it could further compound the problem. “Let the Naxalites tell on which subject they want to hold deliberations with the government,” he said. The Congress was trying to gain political mileage by calling for talks with Naxalites, he said. The caretaker Chief Minister said his government was adopting a clear-cut policy towards the extremists."
