Midnapore (WB), Nov 8 (PTI) There was no possibility of holding talks with Maoists or tribal group PCPA, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee said today even as he maintained that law and order in Naxal-infested Lalgarh and adjacent areas has improved but more work needs to be done.

Bhattacharjee, who met top civil and police officials of Naxal-hit West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia districts, also alleged that opposition Trinamool Congress and some NGOs were hand-in-glove with the Maoists and said it was "pathetic" that a major party was having "links" with a banned group.

"There is no possibility of speaking with the Maoists or the PCPA. They must lay down their arms and abjure violence and that is the primary condition set by the Centre," he told reporters when asked if the government will talk to Naxalites.
