Bharathakka, who was produced before the mediapersons, said she wanted to live a normal life and therefore decided to surrender after the death of her husband. Her health was also deteriorating, she said.
Replying to a question, the naxal, who was in the movement since a decade, said the party is losing ground and popular support of the people in the villages, particularly in north Telangana region.
Referring to recruitment in the movement, Bharathakka said it has come down drastically.
