[Assam] Maoists threaten supporters of bauxite mining in Visakhapatnam

[Ram Sarangapani]

Right!

Uttam, all these hoodlums need is an excuse (to murder in this case).

**The government has mortgaged the entire wealth of the country: forest
wealth, stones, water, everything, they have mortgaged to the Americans.
This we seriously condemn. This should not happen. They are playing with
fire, so fire naturally burns," said Prasad.**

Perhaps, they would have been real upbeat if India had mortgaged the entire
to communist China or someplace.  America is a great whipping boy for these
'champions' of the downtrodden.

It is almost certain, if there was some investigations into the bank
accounts/homes of these people, one would find a lot of ill-gotten wealth.
