Chairperson of the CPN (Maoist Centre) Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said people must have intervention and oversight at local levels. Democratization of the system is imperative to maintaining the revolutionary spirit, he said at an orientation organized for the local level representatives here Saturday.
The ideological-political training and orientation were organized by Maoist Centre’s Gandaki Province Committee. The newly elected local level representatives from the Maoist Centre should be built as the foundation for a socialist future, he stressed.
“In 121 local levels where the party got the victory, the socialist foundation should be created,” Chairperson Prachanda said, urging the elected ones to pay heed to people’s voice and suggestions first and take action accordingly.
The party Chairperson however admitted that the party was facing an identity crisis in recent times. People, as he argued, were making the standpoint that all parties are of the same nature. “We are facing an identity crisis, we lost identity in practice,” he reminded.
According to him, his party had expected more seats in the local level election but could not reach the target due to a non-cooperative alliance. He expressed sadness that in the districts having Maoist stronghold, parties in the alliance forged an electoral alliance with UML, which caused loss to Maoist Centre.
He informed that the current existing ruling alliance would be continued in the coming province and federal elections too.
On the occasion, senior leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha said we moved ahead with peaceful competition but are not the partners of capitalism. “Party’s plan of action at present is to create the foundation of socialism to dismantle capitalism,” he asserted.
