A wall poster purportedly pasted by naxalites at the Battupalli crossroads flyover in Kagaznagar on Thursday created a flutter among the concerned sections of society not only for its timing but content.
The appearance of the cloth poster, carrying a warning for corrupt politicians and officials, coincides with the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) week being observed by Maoists and the first day of the State government’s Anti-corruption week.
Written in red, the poster prominently claims that the warning is the fight for the poor people. It has been written in the name of People’s War, a faction of CPI-ML which had merged with CPI (Maoist) in 2004.
The contents mention Revenue officials seeking bribes to solve problems of poor peasants such as issue of pattas on lands.
Among the politicians who are warned of stringent action if they do not desist from corrupt practices are the MLA, Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency member and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency member besides sarpanches.
“We are checking upon the authenticity of the poster,” Kagaznagar DSP Gummi Chakradhar told The Hindu. The poster was apparently pasted at the busy place sometime during the previous night.
