I was surprised the way baburam was responding to the questions. He is very articulate in his writing, but when it comes to speaking I think Prachanda beats baburam. Since baburam spoke a few times during the interview, it seems it was a joint interview. He was silent to many of the questions. The only time he spoke the replies were superficial and incomplete. I was disappointed because he was supposed to represent the maoist think tank. To one of the questions about what they (maoist leaders) would do after getting to power, baburam replied that he wanted to become Gandhi. I do not know how sarcastic that was, but it sounded very insensitive and vulgur coming out of a mouth of maoist supremo whose decisions have resulted into deaths of thousands of Nepali. Any way, at least it was a good gesture from maoist. I condemn their latest series of violence but welcome their initiation for peace. I hope their intentions are genuine.
