Muppala Lakshmana Rao
Muppala Lakshmana Rao, also known by his alias Ganapathy, is a prominent leader of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), having served as its General Secretary until his health deteriorated around 2018. Under his leadership, the CPI (Maoist) became a significant force in India's long-standing Maoist insurgency, which began in the late 1960s. Rao was known for his strategic thinking and ability to galvanize support among marginalized communities, particularly in rural areas affected by socio-economic disparities. His tenure saw the expansion of the Maoist movement, but he eventually stepped down due to health issues, paving the way for Basavaraju to take over. Rao's influence on the Maoist ideology and operations remains a critical part of the group's history.
