People's Revolution is a Priority: Baidya
KATHMANDU, OCT 20 - UCPN (Maoist) Vice Chairman Mohan Baidya, who represents the party’s hardline faction, on Wednesday said factional gatherings were being held nationwide as per an understandin
g among top leaders of the party.
Talking to reporters at his residence, Baidya said the leadership had agreed to hold factional meetings from the centre to the grassroots level to disseminate their differing views to cadres. He, however, said there had been an understanding to not speak publicly against each other until the Central Committee (CC) meeting, which is scheduled to begin on November 3, is held.
Both factions led by Party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Baidya are holding separate gatherings across the country. Baidya slammed a statement by Maoist Spokesperson Dina Nath Sharma on Tuesday defending Defence Minister Sharat Singh Bhandari’s ‘secessionist’ remarks and the four-point agreement signed with the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha. Baidya reasoned that the “flawed decision” should be corrected. “We are in favour of this government continuing, but we can move ahead only after flawed decisions are corrected,” he said. At a time when Dahal and PM Baburam Bhattarai are preparing to move ahead in the peace and constitution writing processes through majority votes in the CC meet, Baidya claimed that his faction commands a majority in the CC.
“The party chairman has taken many steps against the party’s decisions; a majority of the CC members will stand against that,” Baidya said. Asked about a possible split in the party, Baidya said the party will remain united, but added that transformation of leadership is inevitable.
Dahal recently said that a people’s revolution is impossible at this point. Baidya slammed Dahal’s statement and said that the party’s priority is a people’s revolution. He expressed hope that Dahal will not go against the party’s official decision.
