Modi along with party colleague and former minister Giriraj Singh have been advocating strong police action against Maoists in Bihar. The two leaders have alleged the Nitish Kumar government is soft on the Maoists who have recently carried out attacks in Bihar.
"We have recovered the posters that threaten to target Modi, Giriraj, Rajya Sabha MP C P Thakur and other BJP leaders," Latehar SP Michael S Raj said on Thursday. The posters have urged people not to come under the influence of these leaders because they are "fascists".
Police have sounded an alert in the district. "We have communicated to Bihar police," said additional SP Manish Kumar Bharti.
Police said the posters read, "Sampradayeek aur fascist party Bhajapa tatha khunkhar pratikriyawadiyo ke chakkar me na padey. Aam admi se anurodh hai ki samanti pratikriyawadi Sushil Kumar Modi, Giriraj Singh, C P Thakur and other leaders ko maar girayein (Do not get influenced by communal and fascist BJP. Common people are requested to kill feudal reactionaries Sushil, Giriraj, Thakur and other leaders)."
Latehar is close to Chatra district in Jharkhand where Maoists from Bihar allegedly take shelter. "It could be a possibility that the posters were meant to be used in Bihar, but the banned outfit's men inadvertently brought and pasted them here," a police officer said.
Three such posters and two banners were recovered from two different places on Wednesday. One poster said CPI(Maoist) has opened a recruitment cell each in all panchayats. "The posters invited schoolchildren to join the party," said the police officer.
Two Maoist posters were recovered from Deoghar district on Thursday. Police said the posters condemned police action against the Maoists and asked people to support their cause.
