Prachanda says Maoist Party is made from a ‘special alloy’



KATHMANDU: CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal has described his party as being made of a ‘special alloy’, saying it is unlike any other political force in the country.

Speaking at the party’s central office in Paris Danda on Friday to mark Constitution Day, Dahal dismissed narratives comparing the Maoist Centre with other parties. “The Maoists are a party forged from a different metal. Attempts to portray us as just another party are false,” he said.

Addressing party cadres, he added that he was prepared to take decisive steps, even if that meant creating a political rupture. However, he stopped short of clarifying what kind of rupture or breakthrough he had in mind.
