No difference with PC, says Raman

New Delhi, May 20: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh today dismissed a suggestion that there was any difference between him and Home Minister P Chidambaram on the issue of tackling Maoists and said they were working in tandem.

“There is no difference (of opinion) between the Chhattisgarh government and the Centre. There is no difference between the State and Central forces and there is no difference between my thinking and that of Chidambaram in dealing with the Maoists,” he told reporters after a meeting with the Home Minister here.

The Chief Minister said all concerned wanted a solution to the Naxal problem, which is a challenge to democracy, and there should be development and peace for which everyone was working.

“There are limitations of the states, there are limitations of the Central government. I discussed all these issues with the Home Minister and how to solve it,” he said.
