Maoists have often targeted MLAs and other political leaders in Chhattisgarh.
In April 2019, BJP MLA Bhima Mandavi was killed when Maoists ambushed his convoy in Dantewada region.
The attack in April 2019 happened just two days before the Maoist-infested Bastar voted in the first phase of the national election. The Maoists had warned locals not to vote.
