Not out of syllabus since both BRS and Chingress are in sync on the naxak matter.
TRS's daughter was calling for a ceasefire & talks yesterday.
Are there more details about this?
What benefit do these two get by supporting naxals?
I'd assume TL/Hyderabad is a $$$$ state/city combo so they'd avoid supporting commie terrorists, but then i guess kuch bhi chalega to harm Bhajipao, even treachery and playing with fire.
I don't think it's state support or any party support per se, it's a legacy issue. Communists have been around especially Telangana apart from United AP since before independence agitating against the Nizam rule for peasant rights.
Long story short , the Congress which at one point was with the Communists in this regard changed sides post independence as a lot of landlords joined the party.
Result - the peasants consolidated with the communists. As nothing in India is untainted by caste especially in caste conscious states like Bihar & United AP, party divides resembled caste divides.
YSR's ( Jagan's father) father YS Raja Reddy, Congress leader himself was a supporter of one of these communist / anti communist factions & was assassinated .
This was connected with a long standing blood feud between communist turned TDP leader Paritala Ravi & his opponents most of whom were Reddys. Incidentally Ram Gopal Verma's Rakta Charitra starring Vivek Oberoi was based on P. Ravi .
The old networks are still there even if the communists themselves have been wiped out & along with it old sympathies . Varavara Rao the so called poet & communist also accused in the Elgar Parishad case is a good example of this phenomenon .
Moreover the leadership , the most committed members & ideologues usually have come from United AP especially TLG courtesy the now defunct & destroyed by anti naxalite police action , active throughout the 70s 80s 90s , 2000s - the People's War Group ( PWG) established by Kondapalli Seetaramiah.
That's the long & short of it . I haven't followed naxalite action in quite a few years now so my information could be dated . Take it with a pinch of salt .
