Kathmandu: Poll opposing CPN-Maoist is likely to reconsider the 10-day long nationwide bandha (strike) that it has called from November 11 in a bid to foil the Constituent Assembly polls scheduled to be held on November 19.

Mohan Baidya-led Maoist was compelled to reconsider its decision to enforce the bandha following a massive pressure from various walks of life.

Baidya has come under immense pressure to reconsider the bandha decision after the civil society leaders, human rights activists, industrialists and businessmen have urged him to withdraw bandha arguing that such protest programme would only make a public life difficult and push the economy into the doldrums.

Following the requests from various quarters of society to roll back the decision of bandha, CPN-Maoist chairperson Baidya is now holding internal meetings with party rank and file towards that end. Informing nepalireporter.com that he has got requests from different quarters to reconsider the bandha, Baidya said they were holding internal discussions whether to call off the bandha or go with the planned programme.

Earlier yesterday, prominent civil society leader Daman Nath Dhungana has met Baidhya and requested him to cancel the bandha.

SARLAHI: The Madhes bureau in-charge of the UCPN (Maoist) Haribol Gajurel was warned of non-existence of Nepal’s hardliner political party’s chief Mohan Baidhya if the latter does not comes for party unification with the UCPN (Maoist).

“Baidhyaji will face similar fate to Mohan Bikram Singh if he does not return to the main former party,” Gajurel said at a press conference in Hariwon of Sarhali today. Gajurel, a trusted lieutenant of UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ said people have been closely watching the position of Mohan Bikram Singh adding that Baidhya also will face similar status if he goes ahead single-handedly.

He also opined that Baidhya has no option to go for party unification with the UCPN (Maoist).

On the occasion, Gajurel also revealed that the UML defector Ram Chandra Jha would be given a crucial position in party’s organization in Madhes.

Gajurel also said that the UCPN (Maoist) would win more than 60 seats in first past the post electoral system from Abadh, Mithila and Bhojpura States—the core regions of Madhes.

KATHMANDU: Nepal’s hardliner communist party CPN-Maoist’s chairman Mohan Baidya has said that the 11-point agreement reached among the major four political powers and the subsequent 25-point order on removing constitutional difficulties should be scrapped to bring the country’s politics in a right direction.

Like before, the CPN-Maoist Chief also said that tan all-party meet or round table conference would give an outlet to the country.

Addressing a program in the capital on Sunday, the old methods were insufficient to resolve the country’s problems.
