Dahal also dismissed rumors about a potential split within the Maoist party, stating that recent discussions have resolved any doubts.

“The rumor about our party splitting has been unanimously rejected,” Dahal confirmed. “Any such confusion has been dispelled following our visits to all provinces.”
