Naxals are already frustrated with the response of the people in Vidhan Sabha elections, and now the Lok Sabha polls voting has further added to their worries.
They are likely to fear losing hold in those areas where development is happening in Bastar and youths are turning towards cities for education, the IB official said.
Meanwhile, experts in the state feel high voting percentage is a good sign for Bastar, which has been fighting the Naxal menace for past three decades.
“The number of voters has increased in Bastar in last five years...it's a good sign that people are becoming aware and they are thinking to bring change in the tribal heartland,” Prof Girishkant Pandey, head of the Department of Defence Studies in Government Science College here, told PTI.
From time to time Naxals review their strategies and analyse the mindset of people towards the movement.
They might have scaled up their visits to villages after polling to review the situation after electoral process, he said.
