The Unified CPN (Maoist) has formed 18 departments resembling the ministries of the government. A meeting of the party’s Joint National People’s Movement Committee on Sunday formed the departments. Many of the departments are coordinated by party leaders who were ministers in related ministries in the Maoist-led government. Dr Baburam Bhattarai, who was the finance minister in the previous government, is the coordinator of the Planning and Finance Department. Likewise, Giriraj Mani Pokhrel, the former health minister coordinates the health department and former tourism minister Hisila Yami coordinates the tourism, physical infrastructure and science department. Along with the central departments, the Maoists have also decided to form local bodies. Maoist leaders say, the departments and the local bodies will not function as a parallel government yet, but can be converted to one if such situation comes. “It will not be parallel as of now, but the people can form their own local bodies if need be,” said Lokendra Bista, coordinator of the newly formed agriculture and cooperatives department.

Ground ripening for mass movement: Maoists
REPUBLICA KATHMANDU, Aug 31: The main opposition UCPN (Maoist) has concluded that ground is ripening for a mass movement as the ruling political parties have isolated the Maoists from the whole peace process. A standing committee meeting of the UCPN (Maoist) Monday had deliberated on the latest political development including the loss suffered by the UCPN (Maoist) in the election of the Constitutional Committee of the Constituent Assembly. “The largest political party has been isolated from the whole process,” said a member of the standing committee. The party has reached the conclusion that it should intensify protest in the wake of the latest political development. The party has also concluded that the issue of Parmananda Jha, who is at the center of controversy after Supreme Court nullified his oath-taking in Hindi and he refused to retake oath in defiance of a court order, has put the government in trouble. “We hold the view that he should resign,” said Maoist Spokesperson Dinanath Sharma. The party has also reached the conclusion that Nepali politics is getting complex by the day and that the party should step up protest in the streets and in the parliament to overcome it. On Sunday, the Maoists announced a parallel government with party Vice President Dr Baburam Bhattarai as its coordinator and decided to intensify protest from the grassroots. The party had also decided to form local bodies to deliver justice and carry out development works at local levels. The standing committee meeting will continue for a couple of days and deliberate on the organizational and financial aspects of the party. The meeting will also hold discussions to find ways to implement the party´s code of conduct and carry out investigations based on the recommendations of the party´s disciplinary committee. |
It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I remember Lopez Obrador said he was going to form a shadow government in Mexico because Felipe Calderon stole the election from him. Nothing to my knowledge materialized from that.
