On May 7, left-wing extremist Naxalite group, the People’s War Group (PWG), declared a unilateral, one-month cease-fire beginning May 10 in Andhra Pradesh. PWG State Committee Secretary Akkiraju Haragopal alias Ramakrishna, in a statement in Hyderabad said his organisation would not resort to any kind of violence during the cease-fire period. "There would not be any attacks on police, politicians or others during this period", he said. The statement said the PWG took this decision following Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s recent accusation that the PWG was not sincere about holding talks with the government. "We had announced a two-month cease-fire earlier but the government betrayed our confidence and killed 12 of our comrades in an alleged encounter at Tupakulagudem in Warangal district", the statement said. It further added, if the government was ready for talks, it would send a group of mediators to fix the agenda for the dialogue. Ramakrishna, however, demanded that the Naxalite leaders participating in the proposed talks with the government be provided free passage to attend the meeting.

According to media reports on May 28, the resentment of people over the activities of left-wing extremists, Naxalites, supposedly belonging to the People’s War Group (PWG), is on the rise in Bastar. Incidents of defiance and resistance by villagers testify that, reports claimed. For instance, incidents were reported of villagers resisting Naxalites from looting grain stocks from government-run Fair Price Shops getting beaten up. Police officers are of the opinion that such actions of Naxalities, devoid of any principle or ideology, create aversion among the people towards Naxalites, who in their eyes even loot the shops meant for the poor. Another incident which turned the people’s ire against the Naxalites was the killing of a contractor who was laying a road to connect inaccessible villages, and their resistance to installation of hand-pumps and setting up of minor irrigation projects.
