With the rise of the AICCCR -- supported by foreign actors and some of the local populace -- as an important group in India, the Indian government in Delhi has begun to further crackdown on the AICCCR. With the quick and sudden arrest of good portions of the CPI(M) and then peace deal with the CPI(M), the support for the Indian government in Kerala and West Bengal has been mixed. While support for the Indian government against the AICCCR has risen, the CPI(M) has seen a resurgence and growth in both Kerala and West Bengal following their victory. With the increase of security in West Bengal specifically, the CPI(M) are quickly demanding that elections are held seeing as the preconditions laid out in their deal have been fulfilled. The security situation in both regions has become acceptable and most of the AICCCR in West Bengal and Kerala has been either killed, arrested or forced to withdraw to other provinces.
In Kolkata following the clearing of the AICCCR from the region, multiple shipments of Type-56 carbines and rifles have been seized following random searches by the Indian police. While the Type-56 is created in China, its proliferation to Pakistan to help combat India makes it unclear if Pakistan or China is supporting the AICCCR (if not both).
Outside of West Bengal and Kerala, the Indian government and the AICCCR have increasingly payed a game of cat and mouse in the provinces of Andhra Pradhesh, Orissa and Srikakulam. When the Indian police would walk into a town, they would indeed find infractions of the Arms Act of 1959, but would quickly become flooded with cases as ordinary citizens would not have the proper permits needed under the Arms Act. While a few of the AICCCR would be caught up in these patrols, the amount of people and arms confiscated make it unclear if the policy is effective in targeting the AICCCR. Indian raids against AICCCR hideouts would have some success, but for every successful raid, there would be one to two failed raids or shootouts, helping to help overextend the police forces in Andhra Pradhesh, Orissa and Srikakulam. The amount of extra work in processing new weapons and conducting raids on suspected AICCCR hideouts has ironically reduced the effectiveness of the police force in dealing with the AICCCR. The police in these regions are overextended and are slowly growing tired of being asked to do more to counter the AICCCR without the proper support from New Delhi.
On the ground in Andhra Pradhesh, Orissa and Srikakulam, while new recruits have elected to join the AICCCR, their policy of harshly going after local elites and landlords has been seen as somewhat excessive. While a good majority of potential recruits are not joining the AICCCR due to their radical nature, those who do are more dedicated and loyal to the AICCCR and its goals... as long as the AICCCR can keep its relative success going.
