On Sunday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said "urban Naxals" have infiltrated some NGOs and are setting up false narratives against the government, reported news agency PTI.


Addressing a rally for BJP Konkan Graduates constituency candidate Niranjan Davkhare in the MLC polls, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde asked NDA functionaries to be alert and not smug like in the run up to the Lok Sabha polls, which the ruling alliance was expected to win resoundingly but ended up with an underwhelming performance, reported PTI.


"Naxals are not just in Gadchiroli. Urban Naxals have entered NGOs and have systematically set up false narratives against the government. While not all NGOs are problematic, some are clearly anti-government. They actively spread falsehoods about our (ruling) alliance," Eknath Shinde said, reported PTI.


Attacking the opposition parties, Eknath Shinde said their efforts to undermine the achievements of the NDA government at the Centre failed in the Lok Sabha polls.

"Our mandate is secure and Narendra Modi is prime minister for a third term. Their (opposition) attempts to destabilise us were futile," CM Eknath Shinde asserted, reported PTI.

Lauding Davkhare for his work in the Konkan region, Eknath Shinde said he would win comfortably.
