KIRAN PUN KATHMANDU, Feb 2:The Maoist faction led by Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has begun exercise to bolster its organizational base in light of growing dissatisfactions among party leaders and shifting alliances within the party. Party sources say the Bhattarai faction´s move comes at a time when his organizational base has depleted since getting elected to the post of prime minister, and he faces the challenge of retaining leaders loyal to him who have been backing him for years. The senior leaders of the faction have held separate gatherings in the capital lately to “safeguard the ideological line” in light of the growing intimacy between Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Senior Vice-chairman Mohan Baidya. On January 21, senior party leaders from the faction met at the private residence of Bhattarai in Sanepa. The prime minister himself participated in the meeting that was coordinated by his political advisor Devendra Poudel. |
