Rayagada, Jauary 26: Several posters of the CPI Maoist outfit Basadhara-Ghumusar-Nagavali division have surfaced in Niyamagiri hills range of Kalyan Singhpur block on the eve of 74th Republic Day of India. The outfit has negated this republic day by calling it a hollow day meant for the rich in stead of poor. The red rebels have appealed the public to boycott this republic day.
In yet another poster, the outfit has appealed the Dangaria Kandha tribe to drive away Odisha PVTG Empowerment & Livelihood Improvement Programme(OPELIP), a govt agency of tribal development deptt, from the area as it is the manipulator of people’s movement. They have asked to probe the source of income of OPELIP from Govt. foreign company and rich people. In the name of helping the Dangaria Tribe, this govt agency is weakening and making cleavages in the people’s movement. OPELIP is involved in spreading false information and creating brokers. So those people, who are involved in this nefarious activities, are warned to leave this agency or else face the consequence. Due to this agency only one to two persons per village are really benefited. In the name of reform, it has made the people stagnant. So the Niyamagiri people should be alert.
In fact, the Companies are funding the agencies like OPELIP. Is it not giving a benefit of doubt about that Company, which is destroying the lives of tribals ? The real purpose of this agency is not to help, but to suppress peoples’ resistance. Alongwith OPELIP agencies like Tata Trusts, New Hope, OTELP, Living Farms are working in the guise of police informers. They are anti-movement, anti-tribal, anti-people and anti-national.
Twenty thousand organisations like this are working in Odisha. Then why Odisha is still poor ? Five thousand do work in tribal Odisha. Then why this region is the poorest of the poor being the most backward having 90% of poor people ? So all should be alert against the sugary dialogues & false promises of these organisations. The main objective of these organisations is to save this plunderer Govt. Let’s fight for our mother earth, water and forest. Let’s resist our displacement. The ultra left outfit has warned those people and organisations, who are lure with paltry amount from OPELIP, to rectify their err & be with people or else face stern punishment.
