YES Who said maoists didn't get votes and ran to jungle. He must have misjudged history. During first elections after democracy, they had 9 seats and were the third largest party in parliament (samyukta janamorcha). Then RPP had only 3 seats. In next election RPP had about 20 seats and were able to get PM (Lokendra and Surya). Had Maoists carried along with their election campaig, I don't see why they couldnt be in PM, especially when Nepal was going through a lot of hung parliaments. Don't judge a book by its cover, read it thoroughly before criticizing it
