Prachanda is talking sensibly and acted sensibly so that his entire party galvanized into one energy mass mobilized the people and won spectacular victory. I hope his commitment to multiparty democracy and people’s welfare get the better over any narrow institutional (party) interests and he will not commit the mistakes and blunders of a Stalin, a Mao or a Pol Pot. I also wish he drops the suffix Maoist for his party since Mao is almost debunked in his own country now. I also respect Mao for his positive contributions but his negative side and especially the cultural revolution excesses created a lot of antagonism against him among his own people. So no point in communists of other countries carrying that suffix. On the contrary, I look forward to unity between different communist parties of Nepal (which they once achieved in the 1990s) and Prachanda should take the main initiative in this regard.

well around 30% of entire pop voted maoist, prob 15% fair and square, rest give them a shot for now and intimidation as well. people in remote hills want them out of their area and in kathmandu, so they will stop bothering for free food, drink etc. etc. no difference to them if maoist win but ifthey lose more problems and burdens.
