The Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel Thursday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party over the removal of names of top Maoist leaders Ganpati and Ramanna from the National Investigation Agency's final report on the 2013 Jhiram Valley attack. The attack had led to killings of several leaders and workers of the Congress party.

Maoists attacked a convoy of Congress leaders during the party's 'Parivartan Rally' in the Jhiram Valley in Bastar district of Chhattisgarh on May 25, 2013, killing 29 people, including then state Congress chief Nand Kumar Patel, former leader of opposition Mahendra Karma and former Union minister V C Shukla.
