Last Updated: Tue, 19.06.12 19:26 Baidya lambastes Dahal, Bhattarai as he announces new party; says his party may not register with EC Chairman of the newly formed CPN, Maoist Mohan Baidya today came down heavily on the UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, accusing them of ruining the achievements of the 'people's war' and compromising the party's basic principles. Speaking at a press conference organised in the capital to officially announce the new party on Tuesday, Baidya said his faction decided to part ways after the UCPN (Maoist) establishment chose "reformist and rightist path" and that their activities were guided by opportunism. The hardliner leader also accused Dahal and Bhattarai of trying to compromise national independence. "They went on to disarm the People's Liberation Army instead of integrating them in a respectful manner. "They also failed to draft the constitution," he said claiming that the UCPN (M) will not remain as big once his party expand its organisational base to all levels. Baidya also said his party was against parliamentary politics and that it might not even register with the Election Commission. However, Baidya said there was still possibility of unity with Dahal and Bhattarai if they admitted their mistakes and accepted the ideological line of the new party. According to him, his party has decided to keep open the door for talks for unity until its general convention slated for the month of Falgun. The party does not see the possibility of "people's revolt" right now, but it "might opt for it after preparations", Baidya added. Other senior leaders of the new party including Ram Bahadur Thapa, C.P Gajurel, Dev Gurung and Netra Bikram Chand were also present at the press conference. Except for naming Baidya as its chairman and forming 44-member central committee, the new party is yet to finalise its leadership structure. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
