NDTV
Terming it "urban naxalization", Sharad Pawar said it is this "new phenomenon" where some elements are trying to create hatred against the government in other parts of the state.
Maoist activities are not limited to only remote areas of eastern Maharashtra but "urban naxalization" is being seen in big cities of the state, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar claimed on Thursday.
He was speaking to reporters in Gadchiroli district of the state where at least 27 Maoists including senior Maoist leader Milind Teltumbde were killed in an encounter with police last Saturday.
Talking about the Maoist menace in the district, which borders on Chhattisgarh, Mr Pawar said the situation was improving.
But there is this "new phenomenon" where some elements are trying to create hatred against the government in other parts of the state too, he said.
