Kathmandu : Chairman of the CPN-Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda has answered the questions raised on his document at the eighth general convention which took about two hours. In the process, he tried to explain everything from the plan to the stage of socialist revolution to financial capitalism.

Summary of the answer given by Prachanda in the 8th General convention: 
– We are the party that admits that we are spoiled and we are spoiled, trying to correct it. We have deviations, but we are the ones who can’t improve. In that sense, we are now moving towards improvement.

We are making another leap through this document. The party will not be where it was for 15 years. There will be a radical change and transformation, comrades will see, it has already begun.

– This is a resolution to change the party, that is what is written in the document. There is revolution in it, there is confession and there is a plan to bring a new program. Some are in the process of being resolved.

– Those comrades who do not change, they will be released.

– We could not encircle the center from the village, we were forced to meet those who tried to kill us, that is why there was some confusion. Relations with the people were severed.

– There was a split in the party when there was no conclusion that this is the way to go. Kiranji, Baburamjis burst out. That is why this document has synthesized all the weaknesses of the peace process.

Our revolution was guided by the national and international balance of power and the current situation. Where did Gonzalo go from taking full power and after only negotiations? Is he a revolutionary who can fight and die?

– If the comrades had said that the party was destroyed due to the deviation of the right wing, I would have followed. However, the comrades who left and joined another party could not confirm that. Can you present a model by developing a revolution?

– Girija-Prachanda signed statement on peace agreement is not only ours. We have led by giving a share to the brokers. After the change of government, the bourgeoisie and the middlemen have also been given a share of politics. It is not possible for us to do everything alone.

KP Oli and others want to make this republic a reactionary republic. We want to transform into a democratic republic. That is why the current struggle is. Comrades, the way we reach is clear, no hesitation. The leadership is aware of that.

– We are trying to snatch the class we fought for, we take precautions and initiatives, we should not let it be lost.

– We are the target of world imperialists and reactionaries within the country. They are trying to figure out how to break even this General Convention. It seems to be trying to create a rift between the leaders, create controversy, spread propaganda about the post war and create havoc, but it has failed. Just like the grand convention, we run the party by doing other things brilliantly.

– You have raised a lot of issues, I also consulted with the family yesterday, now to leave the house (Kathmandu based residence) now and go to the village. I am not a minister or a prime minister, I have no problem going anywhere. This is not just a fantasy, elections are also coming, I would like to see what will happen in Kathmandu if I stay in Rolpa for a month, comrades. I am thinking of going to the village.

– Comrades have also asked the opinion about China, in the current situation, why tease China?

– We are the ones who make the current RIM, then if necessary, the RIM is made, it is made.

– The note of dissent in the Constituent Assembly regarding the electoral system and form of government will be maintained, our party will not go beyond that.

– The Central Committee to be formed now will suffer greatly. They can’t live in Kathmandu, they have to go to the village. To engage with full of commitment for Production in village for 3 to 6 months.

– We are clear about the destruction of ‘Chure’, it is now included in the document, well kept.

– Sugauli treaty was suggested by some comrades as notorious and criminal, but it is better to keep it unequal in the document now.

– The issue of equality of ex-Gurkha soldiers is covered and for that we can do everything.

– Discussions are underway in the coalition to resolve the issue of citizenship.

– Dalit, Muslim women are definitely represented. We will implement the number of youth participation as it is in the constitution.

Today, the report was strongly passed. party constitution is passed tomorrow. The Central Committee will also be elected tomorrow. Dissent opinionwas included. A different opinion was said to be respected. Everything else is included. A special general convention is a post-election convention to transform the organization and to further develop the ideology and party line. This is the end, we are not saying that it is all over now. A great historical beginning of ideological development took place here. Now, after the election, we will hold a special convention to develop it further. ‘
