On March 6, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Republic Plenary Summit, expressing concern over the evolving nature of Naxalism in India. He noted that while Naxalism has significantly declined in rural regions—reducing from over 100 severely affected districts to approximately two dozen—it is now gaining traction in urban centers. Modi attributed this urban spread to certain political parties adopting ideologies aligned with urban Naxals, indirectly referencing the Congress party. He emphasized the importance of both development and heritage preservation for India's progress and cautioned against the influence of urban Naxals opposing these objectives.
