Villagers look at the office of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), vandalized by activists of People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCPA) who allege that the party has done little for Tribals in the past 3 decades of it being in power, at Lalgarh, about 200 kilometers (124 miles) west of Calcutta in West Midnapore district, India, Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Maoist rebels burned police camps and attacked offices of leftist parties governing the eastern Indian state of West Bengal this week, and killed three people Wednesday. Communist rebels have the support of most local residents who oppose the leftist parties' rule in the state, accusing their workers and police of extorting money from them and harassing them for opposing the leftist coalition.
