The newly formed Communist of Party of Nepal-Maoist has said that the party's ultimate strategy is to establish "People's Republic" through "a people's war or revolt" while tactical demands are roundtable conference and formation of interim government.
Though the faction aims to "overthrow" the current regime to establish what it calls a people's regime, it has said roundtable conference is the only option left with the parties to end the existing political impasse.
Speaking at a press conference in the Capital to make formal announcement about the new party, party Chairman Mohan Baidya said formation of a new party was essential to continue the aspirations of "people's war" that began in 1996.
The party has also decided to revive the parallel government, base areas and armies of Maoist party, which was automatically dissolved after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2006. Baidya said that pro-federal forces will practice a parallel government at the grassroots level.
The three-day conclave of the hard-line faction of the Maoist party on Monday decided to form a new party accusing Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Baburam Bhattarai of being "neo-reformists" and "opportunists." Baidya believes while CPN-UML is reformist in that it has given up all communist ideals, Dahal and Bhattarai are neo-reformists as they went one step ahead in compromising with the core communist principles.
In the press conference, which was crowded by journalists, supporters and cadres, Baidya spent most of his time criticizing Dahal and Bhattarai. He even claimed that the two leaders worked at the behest of expansionist forces.
"Dahal and Bhattarai disarmed the combatants without bringing the new constitution and without carrying out integration in a dignified manner," Baidya said.
As the government has announced a date for next CA elections, Baidya said there is no meaning of the CA, as it cannot draft a constitution.
The faction has indicated that it will boycott the constitution-drafting process through the CA either from revival or fresh election.
Ruling out the possibility of party unity with the UCPN (Maoist) led by Dahal in the near future, Baidya said Dahal and Bhattarai could join the new party if they corrected their mistakes and transformed themselves.
He also urged the revolutionary forces in the establishment camp to join his party. He added that formation of a new communist party was the beginning of a new chapter in the country. "Neither a coalition of the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML nor of "neo-reformists" (Dahal and Bhattarai) can steer the nation forward. Both coalitions want power. So we are the third force in the country to give an outlet to the country," he said
