NCP chief Sharad Pawar today said there was need to end the "discontent" among various sections which, he felt, was responsible for spread of Maoist violence. "What has happened in Chhattisgarh, in which Congress leaders were killed. We condemn it. This is not the right path for the progress of the nation. A wrong ideology is being presented before the youth. "With weapons in hand, there won't be betterment of the country. That the poor will benefit this way, there is no use saying it," he said at the national convention of the Nationalist Youth Congress held here. The veteran NCP leader suggested that "economic inequality was a reason which had led to discontent among tribals and other sections and to the growth of Naxalism". "We also cannot ignore how Naxalism spread... On the one hand we see that in cities like Delhi and Mumbai there are people who can spend crores in a few hours. And on the other hand the tribal child living in jungles is not sure of two square meals a day. "Someday or the other, he may take a different route, there is need to understand this. It is not only a law and order problem." Pawar said that till the tribals and all other sections don't feel stakeholders in the development of the country, Naxalism will continue to use them. He advocated developing infrastructure like roads, hospitals and education in all areas. Strengthening the country and maintaining its integrity are big challenges, Pawar said. He said that during the British rule, it was the youth who fought for Independence. He said that it was now for the present generation youth to fight for change so that the real freedom is attained. While there has been progress in certain sectors, there was a need to realise the vision behind the independence movement and through youth power the NCP would move in that direction. Pawar also said that certain communal forces were trying to create an atmosphere of disharmony for political benefit. He said that the NCP would work to counter such forces. Speaking further, he said the NCP as a party was younger than other parties and had more youngsters who were its part.

Sharad Pawar is right while his daughter can spend crores in her birthday and he can attend parties of anti indian and anti hindus there are tribals who are struggling to get even 2 litres of water every day. However, it is true that it is elites who are responsible for naxals because 1. they shed tears on naxals and justify raising of arms 2. themselves lead the forces of naxalism as it is known that most of naxal movements are spearheaded by our elites and not by tribals as the dull hindus think 3. the nationalist and patriotic elites do hair splitting on arms and night vision equipments, sensers , strategy etc. without facing the real culprit. They think as of now, naxals are invincible and even if central leaders support them they can be wiped out by our army. Unsurprisingly, they fail to understand the failure of army( not failure of army per se) in north east and continue to chant " better counter strategy, better equipments" etc. Sharad Pawar is beneficiary at hands of such elites.
If Sharad Pawar's alleged wealth is redistributed a crore Tribals will become Lakhpatis or a lakh of tribals will become crorepatis.
