The latest incident is reminiscent of killing of Congress party lawmaker Narsi Reddy and 8 others in a major attack in Narayanpet town of Mehbubnagar district on August 15, 2005. Since the State was bifurcated and Telangana was formed the Maoists were trying to regroup and return to the region and resumed their activities in the tribal and forest areas adjoining Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Police suspect that the Maoist attacked the MLA as their demand to stop the bauxite mining in the tribal areas of Visakhapatnam were ignored by the State Government. The local tribal and the Maoists were agitating for a long time to stop the mining as it was destroying the environment. Maoists had put posters in the tribal area warning the MLA against supporting the mining companies and declared that he was on their hit list. “It was a pre planned attack and somebody had tipped off the Maoists in advance about the visit of the MLA to the area”, a police official said. Rumours were rife in the tribal area for last two months that the movement of Maoists had increased and they were planning to carry a major attack. () *( +,- +./0 /
