Koraput and Rayagada following a general strike called by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to protest against the disappearance of a senior CPI-Maoist cadre, identified as Sudhir, from police custody. Sudhir, who had been deputed as ‘area commander’ of the newly formed Koraput dalam (squad) a few weeks ago, was reported missing and the Maoists alleged that police had either killed or arrested him. The Maoists alleged that Sudhir was missing ever since he was on his way to Bhubaneswar from Jeypore in the Koraput district a few days back. Police officials, however, denied the charges and said that the strike called is pre-planned and aimed at diverting police attention from the Nayagarh incident.

Some Maoist leaflets informing about the bandh in the two districts read: "Under the leadership of Rajiv Kumar, a police officer and an eminent follower of the CPI-M party, Tathagata, Pallab, Koushik, Arijit and Joy have formed a special anti-naxalite force to demolish our party. They are spending a lot of money to know our whereabouts and then are attacking our party members. We strongly oppose these activities of the administration." The leaflets found in Nadia also read: "The CPI-M government does not have the courage to ban our party in this state. They have arrested our leader and have harassed him both physically and mentally. We strongly protest against these tarnished activities of the police and CPI-M government."

The Hindu reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and the Janashakti group of the naxalites (left-wing extremists) called for a State-wide bandh (general strike) on March 14, protesting against the visit of United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Chairperson, Sonia Gandhi to the State. A joint statement whose signatories were Chandranna, Maoist North Telangana Special Zonal Committee (NTSZC) secretary, and Bharath, secretary of the Janashakti Godavari Valley Regional Committee, branded Sonia Gandhi an “American agent” and called upon people to observe bandh to protest against her visit. The statement also blamed the ruling Congress party for not taking up any developmental projects for Telangana region and for abandoning its promise of forming a separate State. The extremists termed the resignation of Member of Legislative Assemblies, Member of Parliaments and Member of Legislative Council of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party as a move only to derive political mileage.
