Maoists kill two security personnel in Bijapur: Attack ahead of Narendra Modi's visit took place despite high alert

Firstpost  

Making a mockery of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh’s recent claim that Maoists in the state have lost their foothold, the ultra-Left insurgents on Monday blew up a bus carrying security force personnel. “By causing this blast, the Naxals have openly challenged the government and security forces ahead of the prime minister’s Chhattisgarh visit. The Chhattisgarh chief minister on Sunday had claimed that “frustrated Maoists are losing their foothold due to the action of state and central security forces”. Despite a high alert and security due to the prime minister’s upcoming visit to Bijapur, how could the blast take place in the same district?
