The SP said that the Maoists had become an obstacle to the development of tribals and they were hiding in the forests of Chhattisgarh using the tribals as pawns to carry out their anti-social activities.

Leaders of the Telangana State Maoist Committee were sitting in the forests of Chhattisgarh, extorting money from tribal people, contractors and farmers for their luxurious lives through various methods. Attempts by the Maoist leaders to forcefully recruit minor boys and girls into the party were failing. Noticing the discrimination shown by the top Maoist leaders against the lower level cadre of the party, many naxals have already surrendered before the police.

In order to make their presence felt in Telangana the naxals were planting booby traps, land mines and pressure mines in agency areas where tribals and cattle roam and thus posing threat to their lives. The chapter of Maoist party in Telangana is over, Dr. Vineeth said.
