The meeting was called to protest against alleged violence by CPI-M at Chandri.

Referring to the development efforts of the state government, he said a total 40,000 policemen and one lakh primary teachers would be appointed.

The police had seized Maoist literature, posters and a country-made illegal guns from the residence of Das, who is now in police remand.
