Maoists Oppose PM Modi’s Odisha visit, put up banners

Malkangiri: Maoist posters and banners protesting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to Odisha tomorrow were found in Kalimela area of Malkangiri district today.

The banners were reportedly put up by the CPI (M) at the bus stand in Kalimela last night despite tight police security and police patrolling.

In the banners, the ultras have mentioned that Modi will loot mineral resources from the State and give the same to outside companies on lease. His visit will not ensure any development of the common people in the State, it added.
