He said that the top leaders of the banned CPI-Maoist party were exploiting innocent tribals and keeping them away from development and welfare with outdated theories. The State and Central governments were working hard to provide education, health, transport and other facilities along with welfare schemes to the tribals living in the agency areas of Telangana. But the Maoist leaders were creating panic among the people in the agency areas and obstructing the development programmes to make their presence felt, the DGP added.
