No use of election where Maoists will lose, says Dr. Bhattarai
A senior Maoist leader has said that there is no use of holding election, which the Maoists will lose.
"What kind of election will that be where the Maoists who have established progressive political demands will lose?" asked Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, the Maoist number two.
Dr. Bhattarai stated that since all of his party's political demands have been established, the Maoists must win the election to implement them, reported Kantipur FM.
Speaking at an interaction in the capital, Saturday, he said that the election, which the Maoists lose, will be nothing but 'a drama quite like the one staged by King Gyanendra.'
He claimed that all the progressive political demands like Constituent Assembly, proportional representation, Dalit Janajati rights etc were established by his party.
Dr. Bhattarai also defended his party chairman Prachanda's recent controversial remark on forging alliance with nationalists close to the King.
"Our chairman had said that since the republic is coming, it would be necessary to bring on board the nationalist forces close to the King so that they will not create commotion after republic is established," he said.
"For national unity, yesterday's parliamentary forces, monarchists and revolutionaries all should come together. Only then can a new Nepal be realised," Dr. Bhattarai asserted. nepalnews.com sd Dec 08 07
