Nepal: India maneuvering Baidya camp through Mahara
From telegrapnepal. com
Dr. Rishi Raj Baral, a veteran literary expert and Marxist critique, is
affiliated with the Unified Maoist party. He is the Vice Chairman of
Ichchhuk Cultural Academy chaired by Senior Vice Chairman of Unified Maoist,
Mr. Mohan Baidya 'Kiran'. He is also the Chief Editor of Samayabaddha- a
magazine published in vernacular Nepali language and The Next Front, an
online magazine. Dr. Baral, a close associate and strong supporter of Vice
Chairman Baidya represents the hardliner faction led by the Kiran.
Sujit Mainali for The Telegraph Weekly and its online edition
telegraphnepal. com talked to this firebrand communist scholar on several
aspects of intra-party rift that his party is plagued with right now and his
party's relations with the Indian regime. Below the excerpts of his
exclusive interview: Chief Editor
Q1: When did you meet Mohan Baidya 'Kiran' very recently?
Dr. Baral: Two days ago (January 11, 2012). We were together at a meeting
organized by Ichchhuk Cultural Academy to discuss about its future course of
actions.
Q2: Do you find any changes in him that day?
Dr. Baral: I found him pretty optimist towards the latest political
development observed in our party. Chairman Prachanda has exhibited his
leaning towards the political course floated and strongly advocated by Mohan
Baidya some days ago. However, during my conversation with Baidya, I
cautioned him not to take Prachanda's commitment at its face value. He had
betrayed us after Kharipati meeting and the Palungtar plenum and therefore
we cannot simply trust the verbal assurances of Chairman Prachanda.
I found Baidya very serious towards my observations. He, in an implied
manner, hinted that if Prachanda once again duped us, then our political
course will be different forever and stones will be left unturned to allow
Prachanda to cooperate with us once again.
Q3: Can you tell us what he said during the conversation?
Dr. Baral: He told me that Prachanda has committed to follow the political
line chartered by Palungtar plenum. He also has exhibited commitment towards
the installment of People's Federal Republic, drafting of People's
Constitution and staging of People's Revolt, if need be. Baidya informed me
that Prachanda too had agreed to ask for the resignation of Prime Minister
Baburam Bhattarai as well. I found him optimist towards Chairman Prachanda
assurance.
Q4: Some days ago, it was widely rumored that Unified Maoist party was on
the verge of a vertical split. But now, the intraparty wrangling has been
settled down, we have been told, in a dramatic manner. Don't you think it
sounds absurd? How can you say that the internal rift inside your party is
not a mere drama staged in a calculated manner to hoodwink the opponent(s)?
Dr. Baral: I don't think that the dispute has been settled down inside the
party. I still suspect on the very intention of Chairman Dahal. He is very
cunning and avaricious person and he is also a smart conspirator as well. I
think he has come closer with the Baidya again to regain his waning hold
inside the party structure.
In the previous Central Committee (CC) meeting, Prachanda saw the CC members
from his own panel supporting Mohan Baidya on several issues including
calling back Bhattarai from government, returning back the properties of
feudals previously captured by the party during civil war, etc. Chairman
Dahal rightly acknowledged that if the same situation prevails longer, then
the Baidya camp will soon become dominant in the entire party structure very
soon. Hence, in a hasty manner, he came closer to Baidya.
But I don't think Prachanda and Baidya are united on ideological grounds.
They have made some compromise(s) for short term only. Baidya too does not
believe that Prachanda is fully committed towards the Nepali revolution and
Nepali nationalism.
Q5: Mr. Baral, you mean to say that sharp differences still exist in between
Prachanda and Baidya panel?
Dr. Baral: Hundred percent Yes! Some days ago, the rift inside the party was
very intense and had attained a new height. It was largely supposed that the
Unified Maoists was going to split within a few days. But now the issues
have been settled down temporarily. It may sound absurd, however this is the
reality.
Q6: Why such unusual events happen inside your party very frequently? Can
you please explain its real cause, if you can?
Dr. Baral: The sub-faction existing inside the Baidya camp is responsible
for this situation.
There are two groups inside the Baidya panel. One group wants to bring back
Chairman Prachanda to the revolutionary line while the other group thinks it
as a futile effort. The latter group believes that Prachanda has already
become a revisionist and rightist-opportunis t. This group dreams to
reorganize the revolutionary party and wants to begin the revolution again
from the grassroots level. Whenever the second sub-faction inside the Baidya
camp become influential and comes to surface, it looks as if party is going
to split within some days.
Q7: Can you please name some leaders who represent the hardliner sub-faction
inside the Baidya panel?
Dr. Baral: Let me not disclose their names. I am extremely sorry for this.
My ethics doesn't allow me.
Some leaders and members of Constituent Assembly (CA) from the Baidya panel
too have begun living a lavish lifestyle. Therefore, they are opposing the
idea of staging revolt against the party leadership immediately, fearing
that they may lose the material benefits which they are enjoying right now.
If the CA gets dissolved, then the Unified Maoist party will witness the
vertical split within a week. This is for sure and rest assured.
There is another class inside the Baidya panel which is harshly suppressed
and marginalized by the party's upper echelon leadership. This class is more
revolutionary. This class, which encompasses the overwhelming majority of
the party cadres, is urging for reorganizing the party in order to make it
more vibrant one and revolutionary in real sense.
Q8: Do you think that the Unified Maoist will split eventually?
Dr. Baral: I prefer to use the word 'reorganizing the party' rather than
using the notion of 'splitting the party'. I strongly believe that the
Maoist party will be reorganized sooner than later. The leaders with
reactionary, revisionist, rightist and perfidious tendencies should be
immediately expelled from the party. Action should be taken against the
traitors and the puppet of Indian expansionism. Earlier the better. If this
does not happen, then the Baidya panel itself will see a vertical split.
Take it for granted.
Q9: How strong the Baidya Panel is inside the party? Can you guess?
Dr. Baral: If Vice-Chairman duo Bhattarai and Narayan Kaji Shrestha
'Prakash' withdraw their support from the Prachanda panel, then the Baidya
camp will be the strongest faction in the whole party structure, including
the Steering Committee, Central Committee, Politburo, parliamentary front
and State Committee.
There are about 92 out of 238 parliamentarians of our party who strongly
adhere to the revolutionary political line floated by Mohan Baidya. Out of
142 members of the Central Committee (CC), 55 members are the declared
adherents of our panel. While talking about the military wing of our party,
the Division Commanders have been made avarice and corrupt by Chairman
Dahal. Besides them, the Deputy Division Commanders and other members of
Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) settled in middle and lower rung strongly
adhere to the revolutionary political line. Baidya panel has strongest hold
in Shaktikhor, Holeri, Dahaban and Western Division of the PLA. Apart from
this, the party cadres and leaders who had fought Civil War are all with us.
The newcomers who swarmed inside our party very recently for fulfilling
their vested interests are with Prachanda. Baidya panel is very strong on
ideological, cultural and military fronts of the party. Dr. Bhattarai's
influence in PLA is almost cipher.
Q10: How much optimist are you towards the ongoing political development
happening inside the country?
Dr. Baral: Nepali nationalism is now under serious threat. National economy
is becoming fragile and weak associated with a slide. Political courses of
Kathmandu are being chartered in Washington and largely in New Delhi.
Chinese sensitivities are being largely ignored.
Situation is not so good. If we need to strengthen our sovereignty, empower
the Nepali population and boost the Nepali economy, the revolutionaries and
nationalists should dissociate themselves from the rightist and the
traitors.
Q11: Dr. Baral, you made quite interesting remarks. Can you please shed some
more light on the maneuvering of alien forces in the politics of Nepal?
Dr. Baral: Indian expansionism has become a threat to Nepal and the Nepali
revolution. This has now become an open fact. No longer remains a secret.
Let me tell you something about how India is now maneuvering inside our
party? India is exerting its influence from three different fronts.
Firstly, it is using its longstanding subservient disciples like Baburam
Bhattarai and Ram Karki to strengthen Indian grip inside our party. To a
large extent, India has bagged successes in this regard already.
Secondly, it is using the close associates of Chairman Prachanda and trying
to take Chairman in their firm grip. It is being widely discussed inside the
party that Barsaman Pun 'Ananta', the incumbent Finance Minister, is working
as an intermediary between the Indian establishment and Chairman Prachanda.
Ananta's excessive hobnobbing with the India's intelligence wing has further
raised suspicions about his much hidden intentions. Some months ago, we
found him presenting working papers at a seminar organized by Research and
Analysis Wing (RAW)-the Indian Intelligence Agency.
Let me tell you that the Indian establishment had preferred Ananta as the
Finance Minister in the cabinet of Dr. Bhattarai. This had created massive
uproar inside our party, if you recall those days. It is said that Dr.
Bhattarai had made Ananta the Finance Minister under the direct instructions
of New Delhi for serving the economic interest(s) of the latter in Nepal.
Thirdly, India is trying to maneuver inside Baidya camp through Krishna
Bahadur Mahara. This front of maneuvering is most dangerous and frightening.
Mahara, in a willing manner, is trying to present and project himself as a
close friend of both India and China. But we took him as a person with
excessive South leaning who is now assigned the tasks of producing Indian
puppet(s) even inside the Baidya camp and demolish this camp once and for
all. If Mahara succeeds in his malicious mission, whole Nepali population
will be converted into the puppets of Indian expansionism. This is for sure,
and hence, this issue should be taken more seriously by the countrymen.
Q12: Can you please tell us what might be the immediate plan of India in
Nepali politics?
Dr. Baral: India wants Baidya camp to join the incumbent government for
making Dr. Bhattarai's tenure successful and shielding the waning political
credentials of their man in Nepal. India wants the continuation of the
incumbent government led by Bhattarai.
Q13: To which extent India may go for materializing this plan? Do you have
any idea?
Dr. Baral: As usual, India has again come to the forefront of Nepali
politics. The recent so-called agreement reached between Chairman Dahal and
Baidya was the result of India's maneuvering. India has asked its stalwarts
inside our party to mend fence with Baidya camp and to persuade the latter
to join Bhattarai government. Without any hesitation and doubt, I can tell
that the idea of the so-called agreement was floated by New Delhi. The
stalwarts of the expansionism are now vigorously trying their best to
materialize the grand design of India in Nepali politics. Let all of us
admit this fact.
Slaver like behavior of Dr. Bhattarai towards India is of the highest order
and no other person inside our party has so far exceeded this man in this
regard. In the past, we used to accuse him for being excessively loyal
towards Indian expansionism on ideological grounds. After assuming the post
of Prime Minister, he signed BIPPA with India and Four Points' Agreements
with Unified Madheshi Front. His deeds have now proved him as compliant of
the Indian expansionism. Therefore, India wants the continuation of this
government and Krishna Bahadur Mahara is assigned to achieve this purpose.
