In their statement issued on behalf of the little known “New Cultural Revolutionary Group,” Shrestha and Anukul (believed to be central committee member Mani Thapa) narrated how ideological, political, organizational, military and cultural deflections had taken place among two top leaders of the party. Referring to the public war of words between Prachanda and Bhattarai, the two central committee members said both of them had nearly pushed the party on the verge of vertical split. They also criticized party supreme, Prachanda’s statement in an exclusive interview with Kantipur daily. In his interview, Prachanda had said that his party would accept the outcome of the constituent assembly elections even if the majority of the people delivered their verdict in favour of monarchy or active monarchy.

They have also called upon what they called “new generation” within the party to carry out “revolution within revolution” in a new way. There has been no official reaction to the latest statement by the two dissident leaders from the CPN (Maoist) leadership as yet.
