KHAMMAM / MULUGU: While the banned Maoist party is celebrating the 21st anniversary of the Maoist party’s People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) near the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border, several posters and pamphlets urging people to fight against the Maoists were affixed on the walls in the villages of Bhadrachalam Agency area on Monday.
While there was no signature of an individual or organisation in the posters, it created a lot of buzz in the villages. With an attention-grabbing caption, “Don’t want Naxalism, need only development,’’ the posters say that Maoists provoke the innocent tribal community against the government.
