Stating that the Centre has dispatched enough paramilitary forces to the troubled areas, he lashed out at the Left Front government in the state for not acting in a timely manner.
“We are getting an impression that a section of the government wants to act while the rest doesn’t, fearing the consequences,” he said.
Responding to Chidambaram statements, CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechuri said he hoped the Centre would give assistance to people in the affected areas.
He also said the Central government should co-ordinate efforts, as India is facing its biggest internal threat from the Maoists.
Earlier in the day, the Home Ministry had advised the West Bengal administration to deploy its own forces in full strength as "maintaining law and order is primarily the responsibility of the state government”.
"The Central paramilitary forces have been sent only to assist the state police," an official had said.
The Centre advised the West Bengal government to deploy the East Frontier Rifles, Special Armed Police and the regular armed police to deal with the situation arising out of Maoists and tribals virtually taking over areas like Lalgarh.
Chidambaram’s stern warning came as three CPI(M) workers were also shot dead in Banksole in West Midnapore district this morning.
Around 1,300 central paramilitary forces have already deployed in the troubled areas while 300 more are on their way.
West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has reportedly told the ruling Left Front partners that 500 Maoists - 100 of them fully trained in combat and 400 others semi-trained - had sneaked into Lalgarh from Jharkhand.

West Bengal since freedom, had government, by and large, of 6-7% people called bhadralok who reaped golden harvest for themselves, driving the lower strata to the margins of extreme desperation. So the unrepresentative government cannot meet aspiration of all sections. The Left Front is a conglomeration of herrenvolks who are selfish, self-centred, non-egalitarian and exploitative under an ideology.Democracy is not all about merit. It's about participation and representation of all sections of the society. There is not one tribal minister of cabinet rank. The SCs and Muslims along with STs form 54% of the state population. They have in all 11-12 Ministers as against 16 Brahmans in Buddhababu's cabinet. Bhadralok [Brahman, Baidya and Kayasth] comprise mere 10-12% but command 69% of ministerial berths. Can it survive, much less succeed? They all work for themselves and for none else.The anarchy is the result of accumulated deprivation of all.Sanket Biswas
This is all too obvious a creation on TMC/Congress to declare WB as dangerous and dissolve the govt there.No, i am not saying the Commies are saints! they are the rascals of the country. Too bad, congress is following such practices to get their govt in WB.
The law and order situation in the whole india is a disaster. The only solution seems to split india into various countries to manage it well. Else it will take another one thousand years to make it a developed country.
now the downtrodden, exploited and tortured people of west bengal for 32 years are up in arms to fight against atrocities of cpim backed by cpim cadres in police department. it is high time cpim resign from power otherwise days are not far off when the people of bengal will throw the present government into the bay of bengal. now it is time for these exploited and tortured people to repay.
