I agree with Moneyminded. Maoists' new tactic is due to their weak political situation in the country. Their goal was never to abolish monarchy. Power was their goal. They joined 7 parties and agreed to peace process to strengthen their position. However, as time passed the opposite is happening. They thought their 12 yr old war, their demands for CA election, loktantra, ganatantra whatever would help them to gain power. Bad luck for them that all other parties agreed to hold CA election, establish loktantra, and what not. People have already forgotten Maoists started those demands. People only remember them as the main cause for the killings and destruction that dragged our country the current situation. So, the people are going against Maoists when they are not armed. Maoists can't seem to handle logical debates either because there can't be a valid logic for killings.

Maoists know that the political situation is not in their favor and the election has to be stopped. They are wiped out from terai so quickly and Congress and UML are in better shape nationwide except in western Maoist stronghold areas. If the election is held in older way, the results will be devastating for the Maoists. Although they can't win election the way they envisioned, they can still secure votes nationwide. So, there came the proportional election agenda. This is the last resort to save their culprit ass.

They demanded to announce loktantra from the house because they know it will not happen. This is a strategy to buy more time. Also, this gives them hope that they can go to people and still justify their wrongdoings. So, Maiosts are using King, who is already weak, as a last weapon. If, for any reason, the house goes for loktantra, Maoists will have nothing left on their hands. They will be like 'bandar ko puchchhar lauro na hatiyar' in Nepali politics. I think Baburam now understands, if he has any brain left, why people thought he was insane to kill innocent people to gain power. Even though it is too early to predict, it seems impossible for Maoists to come to power. So much their dreams. I hope this is just the beginning!
