Congress senior leader Digvijaya Singh's shocker in the wake of the Sukma Naxal attack killing 25 CRPF jawans.

Digvijaya said that Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh and the BJP have an understanding with Naxals. "That is why they win polls there," he said.

The Congress Party on Monday described the encounter by Naxals as extremely unfortunate and called on the Narendra Modi-led NDA government to initiate appropriate counter action.  

Addressing the media in New Delhi, party spokesman Manish Tiwari said, "Extremely unfortunate. Hope government will act with alacrity. Hope government initiates appropriate action against people responsible for attack."

Tiwari's statement came shortly after Chhattisgarh's Chief Minister Raman Singh called for an emergency meeting of senior civil and law enforcement officials to discuss the encounter killing that took place in the Chintagufa area in the state's Sukma district, a Maoist-dominant area.

The attack took place on personnel of the 74th Battalion of the CRPF as they were assisting the local population in road building activity in the district.
