Elections To CA On Nov. 19 Impossible Says Vaidhya
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 4, 2013: after the completion of the four-day meeting of the central committee of his party CPN-Maoist in Pokhara yesterday, Chairman Mohan Vaidhya told the reporters that the elections to a new Constituent Assembly (CA) were impossible as the four-party political mechanism would not let it happen, according to the news in ‘gorkhapatra’ of today.
Chairman Vaidhya said that his party would mobilize all the class organizations and the party cadres, and would use all the forces to disrupt the elections on November 19, 2013; however, his party has kept the door opened to talks. He did not say with whom the talks to be held. He had categorically rejected holding talks with the current government, as he did not recognize it. Mr. Vaidhya’s stand on the elections looks like the stand of a child that did not want anything except for meeting its wishes.
He said that his party has not decided to launch a people’s war for the sake of disrupting the elections, however, his party has not left the idea of the people’s movement based on the people’s war. He said that his party was the real power that has fought the people’s war. However, the neo-revisionist UCPN-Maoist has sidelined his party taking the side of the NC and CPN-UML that have no mandate from the people’s war. He also said that the broken bond between his party and the UCPN-Maoist would not be repaired at all.
He said that after the demise of the CA, he has no faith in the possibility of the CA crafting a new constitution and promulgating it.
After the decision of the central committee of the CPN-Maoist on disrupting the elections to a new CA on November 19, 2013, the Home Ministry has called a meeting of the security personnel, and ascertain the possibility of the CPN-Maoist disrupting the elections, and has come to the conclusion that the CPN-Maoist could not disrupt the elections.
After the meeting with President Dr Ram Baran Yadav at the office of the president yesterday, Acting President of NC Ram Chanda Poudel said to the reporters, the president opined that the four political parties needed to take initiatives to bring the dissident political parties to an agreement on participating in the elections to a new CA.
