Maoists better equipped than civil police: Prakash Karat

General Secretary of Communist Party of India-Marxist Prakash Karat said on Sunday that Maoists are better equipped than the civil police in terms of weapons. While addressing media during a press meet in Agartala, Karat said that no state police is capable of combating the Maoists alone. He further said despite handing over of evidence that the Trinamool Congress and Maoists have a nexus, the central government is not taking any action in the regard.
