Amit Shah stated that the radical leftist ideology has nothing to do with development. Their motto is that power flows from the barrel of a gun. They want to gain power by spreading this ideology among innocent tribals. Amit Shah clearly stated that those who take up arms will pay the price. Shah stated that tribals were misled by the leftists. Development was prevented. They burned down schools in tribal areas. Previously, the state had limited access to the Red Corridor. Naxalism led to poverty in these areas.
