Question

Identify the correct code for the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) as given below :
Assertion (A) : Since the insurgents / naxalites claim that they are fighting a people’s war, the authorities of the government must win over the people by emphatically demonstrating, that it is the government forces that are waging the war of people to mitigate the problems of despair, hunger, poverty and underdevelopment.
Reason (R) : Good governance and inclusive growth can be oxygen for the masses in insurgency-prone/naxal areas.
Codes :

The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are correct.

Assertion (A) Analysis: Winning People's Trust

The assertion states that government forces must demonstrate they are fighting for the people's welfare to counter the "people's war" narrative used by insurgents or Naxalites. This involves addressing issues like despair, hunger, poverty, and underdevelopment. This strategy aims to win the support of the local population, which is crucial in counter-insurgency operations. Therefore, Assertion (A) is a valid approach.

Reason (R) Analysis: Importance of Governance and Growth

The reason highlights that good governance and inclusive growth act as essential elements ("oxygen") for people living in areas prone to insurgency or Naxal activity. These factors directly address the root causes of discontent, such as poverty and lack of development, that often fuel such movements. Hence, Reason (R) correctly identifies critical factors for stability and development in these regions.

Relationship Between Assertion and Reason

Reason (R) provides the underlying justification for the strategy proposed in Assertion (A). Good governance and inclusive growth are precisely what the government needs to demonstrate to the people, as stated in Assertion (A), to counter the insurgents' claims and gain public trust. Thus, the reason explains why the assertion's strategy is effective and necessary.

Conclusion

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are factually correct statements. Furthermore, Reason (R) accurately explains Assertion (A) by detailing the fundamental needs that government action should address.

Therefore, the correct option is that both (A) and (R) are correct.
