Nutcase Baidya

Baidya says CPN-M still trains cadres in guerilla warfare NepalNews Senior Maoist leader Mohan Baidya 'Kiran' has said that even though CPN-Maoist is part of the coalition government it would be an illusion on the part of others if they think his party has stopped training its cadres in guerilla warfare. Vaidya, who is often referred to as the ‘ideological guru’ of party chairman Prachanda, made this revelation while speaking at a programme organised by Manmohan Adhikari Foundation in the capital Sunday. “The party fought a guerilla war (against the state) in the past for communist ideology… it is continuing to train guerillas even now in different parts of the country,” said Baidya. He, however, didn’t make it clear as to why the party felt the need to prepare guerillas during peacetime. Saying that the Maoist party is fully committed to constituent assembly election, Baidya opined that the election could be free and fair only if it is conducted by first announcing the country a republic through a parliamentary declaration. He further said if the monarchy and other ‘conspiracies’ being hatched against the polls are not thought of as a challenge, and if only the Young Communist League (YCL) is viewed as the main hurdle, then the polls cannot be held. The Maoist leader also stressed the need to consolidate eight-party unity for a republican front.

This is a highly irresponsible act on the part of Baidya. This guy is a nutcase. This guy proves Maoism is an anachronism in this day and age. These utterances are proof this guy is past retirement age. He is going senile.

Nepal's peace process is a journey for the Maoists from "Power flows through the barrel of a gun" to "Power flows through the ballot box in a multi-party democracy of state funded parties." They necessarily have to abandon the former to get to the latter.

Baidya is incapable of getting past his habits of mind. He is beyond reform. He is not capable of imagining a new reality for his party and the country. He is clearly incapable of ideological synthesis.

Goal Is Ideological Fusion, Not Mainstreaming Maoists

If nutcases like Baidya get into the driving seat, Nepal is going to lose its opportunity to become the number one democracy on the planet. His own party needs to shun him for its own good. Send him back to India, send him back to exile. Let him live in peace and quiet. Let him catch up on his readings.

The Maoists talk of wanting elections to the constituent assembly. But they act to prevent the elections from taking place. The YCL misbehavior is the number one reason the elections were not held in June, and still might not be held in November. If the Maoists leaders want elections to the constituent assembly, they should reign in the YCL. Otherwise they are being hypocrites.

The YCL misbehavior is also the reason for the wide gulf between the Maoists and the UML. The YCL is preventing a left unity that would be of a great advantage to the Maoist leadership.

The YCL misbehavior has been sapping the morale and confidence of the Nepal Police. That has given rise to lawlessness, clearly so in the Terai. Organized criminal gangs from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have gone on to fill that vacuum.

And Vaidya talks of possibly more political violence. That is irresponsible, that is reckless. That talk has been made to deny the Nepali people peace, democracy and progress. The Nepali people will not put up with it.

The Maoists are going to reform and becoming major players in a multi-party framework, or they are going to become increasingly irrelevant.

Baburam on Baidya’s arrest - Nepali Times There is no mystery about why Mohan Baidya was captured. It followed the triumph of our ‘People’s Army’ in Bhojpur and Beni. These incidents shattered the state’s dream of overcoming our revolution with military power. It has now failed both politically and militarily. So they have taken the last resort of targeting high-level Maoist leaders. Siliguri was an easy and obvious place to begin. Comrade Kiran was their first prey. ..... Comrade Kiran was arrested with the active role of Indian rulers. It has bared the nexus between the neo-monarchy of the post-royal palace massacre and the reactionary rulers of India who believe in an indivisible India. In some political and media circles, Comrade Kiran’s arrest was interpreted as an unravelling of relations between the Maoists and the Indian ruling class. ...... We see no reason to be ashamed of Comrade Kiran’s arrest. For international proletariats like us, there are friends and foes in every nation. We take it as our right to use the territory of our enemies for to our needs. ..... You can’t imprison revolutionary thought, it hasn’t worked anywhere.
