Nepal: Prachanda says that the Maoist party has not given up on revolt

KATHMANDU: UCPN-Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said on Saturday that his party would get hold of the state power with a popular mandate via elections after the promulgation of new constitution. If conspiracies are hatched against the constitution-drafting process, the state power will be captured through revolt, he warned.

Speaking at a function organised to welcome leaders and cadres of three fringe communist parties who defected to the Maoist party, the Maoist chairman stressed on the need for conclusion of the ongoing processes for peace building and constitution-drafting as per the people's aspirations. The programme was organised at the Maoist headquarters in Peris Danda.

Referring to the dissident faction led by Mohan Baidya within the Maoist party, Dahal said that digression from he path of peace and constitution is but a foolish move. He said he is trying to resolve the differences in the party by holding talks between and betwixt the senior leaders.

"Rest assured, party won't split. I am holding discussions with Vice Chairmen Mohan Baidya, Baburam Bhattrai, Narayan Kaji Shrestha and General Secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa to settle the disputes through discussions by bringing the ongoing debates in one place," he stated.

According to him, the Maoist party has responsibilities to complete the constitution-drafting process as the Constituent Assembly was an upshot of the decade-long "people's war" waged by the party.

He flayed the dissident leaders for their bid to weaken his position in the party. "It is nothing but just stupidity to say that revolution can be launched by weakening the party leadership."

Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Saturday said that his party has not given up the strategy of 'people's revolt' and that the party is prepared to capture power either through election or through a revolt.

Speaking at a programme organised at the party headquarters, Peris Danda, to announce the merger of three fringes parties with UCPN (M) Saturday, Dahal warned that the party would be forced to launch revolt if attempts are made to derail the peace process and the constitution-drafting.

He also claimed that the party would be in power through election to be conducted after the successful conclusion of the peace process and the constitution-writing.

However, the Maoist chairman emphasised that the parties need to show serious commitment to peace and constitution at the moment.

Meanwhile, Dahal claimed that national and international power centres were trying to divide his party to create turmoil in the country and that the party was determined to foil such attempts.

Saying that he is in talks with hardliner vice chairman Mohan Baidya and general secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa, Dahal said the internal dispute would be resolved soon.

On the occasion, Dahal announced the merger of the factions of CPN (Maoist), Revolutionary Community Party and United People's Front and welcomed the leaders of these parties.
