TWO MAOISTS LEADERS LAUNCH REBELLIAN AGAINST TWO SENOIRMOST CPN(M) LEADRES

Within months of the patch-up between two seniormost leaders of the CPN (Maoist), two central committee members of the underground outfit have publicly criticized party supremo Prachanda, and no. 2 in the party, Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, alleging that they acts showcase what they called “non-proletarian tendencies.”
In a joint statement issued on Monday, central committee members of the CPN (Maoist) Rabindra Shrestha and Comrade Anukul have leveled personal and ideological allegations against party chairman Prachanda alias Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Dr. Bhattarai.
In their statement issued on behalf of the little known “New Cultural Revolutionary Group,” Shrestha and Anukul (believed to be central committee member Mani Thapa) narrated how ideological, political, organizational, military and cultural deflections had taken place among two top leaders of the party.
Referring to the public war of words between Prachanda and Bhattarai, the two central committee members said both of them had nearly pushed the party on the verge of vertical split. They also criticized party supreme, Prachanda’s statement in an exclusive interview with Kantipur daily. In his interview, Prachanda had said that his party would accept the outcome of the constituent assembly elections even if the majority of the people delivered their verdict in favour of monarchy or active monarchy.

They have also alleged both Prachanda and Bhattarai of living in he safety of “foreign land” for eight out of ten years of the Maoist ‘people’s war.”
The unusual public criticism of the two top leaders from within the Maoist party has come just within weeks of the completion of ten years of the Maoist “people’s war.”
Shrestha and Thapa have also alleged Prachanda and Dr. Bhattarai of not sending their children in the frontline of the rebellion. They have also called upon what they called “new generation” within the party to carry out “revolution within revolution” in a new way.
There has been no official reaction to the latest statement by the two dissident leaders from the CPN (Maoist) leadership as yet.
