Amit Shah, in the Lok Sabha, also stated that a campaign was launched to establish a school in every single village across Bastar. Home Minister Shah also stated, Today, Naxalism has been almost eradicated from Bastar.

A campaign was launched to establish a school in every single village across Bastar. A drive was undertaken to open a ration shop in every village within the region.

Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Community Health Centres (CHCs) have been established in every Tehsil and Panchayat. Aadhaar cards and ration cards have been issued to the people, and they are now receiving five kilograms of food grains.

I simply wish to ask those who were here advocating on behalf of Naxalism: Why have the people not received these benefits till now?...

The people of Bastar were left behind precisely because the shadow of Red Terror loomed over the region; that is why development failed to reach them. Today, that shadow has been lifted, and Bastar is now on the path of development, he added.
