KATHMANDU: After marathon consultations with the top leaders of the party, Unified CPN-Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal today proposed an organisational set-up having only one office bearer — the chairman.
According to his proposal, tabled during the first extended meeting of the seventh central committee that began on the premises of Khanna Garment in Lalitpur this afternoon, Dahal presented his ‘Special Organisational and Political Proposal’ in which he proposed that the chairman would be the only office bearer and all other top leaders would be central committee members. The proposal aims to resolve the crisis in the organisational set-up after most of the leaders demanded better portfolios in the last central committee meeting.
During a meeting with bureau heads a few days ago, most of the participating leaders had suggested that the party should induct Baburam Bhattarai as ‘senior leader’ but Bhattarai rejected the suggestion, claiming that it would not serve the purpose of his sacrifice.
Though Vice-chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha and General Secretary Post Bahadur Bogati were reluctant to quit their posts, they agreed to resign from their posts after Dahal urged them to do so for the sake of the party.
Even during the meeting with bureau heads and state committee conveners held today, Lokendra Bista, Suresh Singh, Giriraj Mani Pokhrel, Biswo Bhakta Dulal, Hemanta Prakash Oli and Ram Karki had opposed the one office bearer idea.
However, a survey conducted by Janaahwan Weekly among 700 members who had participated in the latest national congress in Hetauda, had revealed that 61 per cent of the respondents were in favour of one office bearer set-up, while 18 per cent of them were for keeping the decision of national congress intact.
Apparently the survey finding played a significant role to force Dahal to change his earlier stance of keeping the central committee elected by the national congress intact, elevating Dr Bhattarai to ‘senior leader.’
Dahal also proposed that organisational set-up led by him should continue till the second Constituent Assembly election, after which a special national conference should formulate a special organisational policy to develop UCPN-M into a new communist party.
The closed session will begin tomorrow afternoon after all the groups complete their discussions. The team leaders will then reveal their stance on the organisational set-up and their poll strategy.
