Ram Bahadur Thapa (aka Badal) has served as the General Secretary of the
Unified Communist Party of Nepal Maoist. He is also the leader of a new force,
emerging out of the UCPN(M), that is seeking to form a new party and retake a
revolutionary road. The following interview with Badal was conducted by Upesh
Maharjan in Red Star
3. Do you meant to say the tactics of peace and constitution is
wrong?
1. How will you analyse the latest development in the Nepalese
political scenario?
After the dissolution of the Constitution Assembly CA plotted by the
external power, there are many illusions about the movement, anarchy and
eruption among the people. As the status-quo could not utilize CA for their
interest, they wanted to dissolve it. Thus an unconstitutional step had been
carried out which invited the confusion and political disorder in Nepal.
2. Very often, your red faction had said that pro- people
constitution could not be given through CA. Is it justified?
From beginning of the CA election, there have been many conspiracies
plotted by the reactionaries. At that time also, we said that pro-people
constitution and peace process couldn't be made through it. What we said has
been proved. They wanted to derail the peace process and constitution drafting
so they asked for integration of People's Army as their pre-condition. After the
process of integration they easily derailed the process which means new efforts
have to be organized. They have underestimated the verdict of the people.
Badal
Through it, the party had wanted to go ahead, But it had been failed so new
tactics is essential.
4. The proposal of Bhattarai Government to lengthen CA by three
months hadn't been accepted by the red faction, so it is said that your faction
is more responsible in the dissolution of CA, What is your
opinion?
There was enough time to declare new constitution resolving the disputes
about some issues. We had played vital role to make it in time but alas, the
disputes among reactionary's parties including Prachanda faction had it unclear
decision to go for another CA poll.
5 There were suitable position for revolution in the movement in
identity based federalism. But the faction was behind the sentiments, How will
clarify it?
Though we were the key role maker for the issues of identity based federal
states and Madesh based movement we were not behind it. As the government seemed
positive about the identity based states after three days Nepal Banda, the
favorable situation had been wiped out.
6 Maoist Supremo Prachanda said that the line given by Baidya, has
been his party line. Did he raid the line of red faction?
In which context he said it, is unclear. He has said it to make people
mirage upon the red faction line. There was no any understanding in the party,
no any national consensus among the major parties, they didn't think right to
announce in CA to dissolve it. They wanted to misguide the people and party
cadre. So we oppose such a fake voice.
7 Your Unified Party is going to split, what is your
reaction?
Although, Palungatar Plenum has ordered the leaders to be
transformation, we are waiting them to be changed towards the mandate of
Proletarian. They have gone against the proletarian mandate so we cannot wait
for them so new party has to be formed for pro people democracy and communism.
In the class war, new turning point has been developed, so we'll fight in new
way with revisionist, capitalist and reactionaries.
8 What will you say for oppressed people of the world and the
revolutionaries?
We have moved with ups and downs, left and right so there are many
confusions prevailing in the international arena. But we have run a long journey
to make revisionist camp transform standing along with the red spirit. So, we
are the sole revolutionary who has the power to transform New and better Nepal.
We need your solidarity for our movement.
