Maoist changing their name...

There is a tussle going on within the party about the name change and its future directions.

The hardliners like Mohan Vaidya and most of the CC members seem to like "jana ganantra" where as liberals like Prachanda and Baburam want liberal form of federal government. What  will they come up in their national convention, is yet to be seen.

The hardliners like Mohan Vaidya et al (and the ones who are not in power) seem to be diaappointed with the ones with power. Is this just a power play? Are these hardliners power mongers and want to throw Prachanda and Baburam so they can be in power? Are the hardliners upset as they do not have government resources in their disposal? Are they upset just because they have no means to get a "one crore car" or cannot afford Rs 200,000 bed or have not been able to travel aboard is yet to be seen??

Crying for the Mao version where everything is centrally controlled (owned) including private industries/properties and banks seems ridiculous. Parties are allowed to participate in elections but all the major decisions is done by one party (sounds like same old Panchayat with minor change) seems like a looser idea but they are going for it. Their prominent leaders like CP Gajurel and Matrika Yadav (the same sicko who captured land and confronted his own government when he was a minister!) are among the supporters of this idea. Who else will rally with them on such failed idea? Is yet to be seen.

Hopefully some Nepali entrepreneurs will be able to provide these hardliners with more than Rs 200,000 bed and some corrupt business owners will provide them  'one crore car' to shut the hell up! If they don't then will they will be digging their own grave and will take liberals like Prachanda and Baburam along with them?? Is yet to be seen

This tussle is interesting and I am watching!!!
