Naxalites in Jharkhand's Palamu Lok Sabha constituency placed posters near an Anganwadi center calling for a boycott of the parliamentary elections. Police teams have removed the posters and an investigation is underway, though no one has been arrested yet. The CPI (Maoists) is suspected to be behind the posters, which have also been seen in other areas of Palamu, a district with a history of Maoist violence. The ruling BJP's candidate, former DGP Vishnu Dayal Ram, will face off against RJD's Mamata Bhuiyan in the upcoming election.
