Speaking to reporters Rai said joining the Maoists has no benefits

penny, nor did we get proper food
Our other members should also surrender else they will be killed one day
I feel good after surrendering
There is no benefit in joining a Maoist organisation, it will only ruin your life," he said
Rai further said women are not safe in the CPI (Maoist) organisations active in Santhal Parganas
"It was disgusting to see how women and girls used to get exploited by Maoists

Even if we opposed such things, our opinions were never valued
The government should work towards the development of this village," he added
After Rai's father passed away, his brothers stopped taking care of him
He was not being able to get a job, that is when he came into contact with the Naxalites
"The government does not pay attention, due to which the youths living in these areas get distracted and join the Maoists out of greed for
The Maoists are also not bothered about development, all they care about is the levy," he said
