loote, you are right in your sense and in my sense they are fighting for the poor people, and nepal is full of poor, rural poor. In this regard, they will rock nepal. If election is held in free and fair manner, I am quite sure but not cent percent that they will win by majority, lagging behind NC, UML--since these teams are full of people not to be trusted. Even people are thinking why not just give try to these maoists to run the country since People have already seen the bad governance of NC, UMl and the rest for so many years in the past and present. But, loote--i am asking you that will India and other big wigs like EU, US digest Maoist running Nepal as they hate communist. One disadvantage will be that Nepal may be like North korea reeling under sanctions after sanctions from western nations and India if Maoists are given the government to run. What you say??????
