KATHMANDU, JUN 18 –
After five-year long of ideological differences, the dissident faction
of the UCPN (Maoist) led by Mohan Baidhy formally split on Monday with
the unanimous endorsement of the proposal to form a new party.
At the ongoing national conclave of the Maoist hard-line faction in
Bouddha, Kathmandu, leader Baiday declared the dissociation from the
mother party—UCPN (Maoist), which was elected as the single largest
party in the 2008 Constituent Assembly (CA).
According to the leaders attending the conclave, the new party has been
named as CPN-Maoist and Baidya would take the leadership of the party.
The leaders informed that informal discussions regarding the
organisational structure and committee formation are being held.
Though Baidya, in his report, has proposed a 75-member central committee, the conclave could revise it.
The hard-line faction has accused the establishment of turning into
revisionist and by losing the revolutionary ideal They had long been
claiming that the line of peace and constitution have failed and
stressing on the need for preparing another revolution.
