RAIGARH, Nov 15: BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Sunday said armed Naxalites had been eliminated from the country, but people he described as ‘mental Naxals’ remained active in leadership positions in various organisations.
Addressing a programme in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, through virtual mode, Nabin said the government would teach such people a lesson through its work.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had resolved to eliminate Naxalism from the country and that the Centre and the Chhattisgarh government were working towards that goal.
Nabin urged people to remain alert against those who spoke of revolution and invoked the Constitution, but were accused of instigating people against democracy.
He also accused the Congress of using tribal communities for political interests. The Congress used tribal votes for political gains, he claimed, while the BJP believed in giving people from tribal communities leadership roles and positions of responsibility.
