Prachanda slams Dr. Baburam as national laughing stock



RUKUM EAST: Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda has launched a scathing attack on Nepal Samajwadi Party (Naya Shakti) Chairman Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, labeling him “the most unintelligent doctor.”

Speaking at a press conference in Rukum East, Prachanda dismissed any possibility of party unification with Bhattarai.

When asked by journalists about a potential alliance, he responded sharply, “People know him as the most unintelligent doctor. How can we unify with someone like that?”

Prachanda claimed that he had contested the last election from Dr. Bhattarai’s home constituency, Gorkha, in a gesture aimed at party unification.

However, according to Prachanda, Bhattarai later distanced himself from the communist identity altogether.

“When I contested from Gorkha, it was said that the election would not just be about votes but also about unifying our parties. But afterward, he refused to even hear the word ‘communist.’

He said, ‘If the name Communist Party is mentioned, I won’t unite. What do you want me to do—die for Baburam?’”

Prachanda further added, “How can I unite with someone who rejects the term Communist Party, who no longer speaks of Marxism? He has now fully aligned himself with the reactionaries. Even they no longer trust him. Baburam has become a national joke. What an unintelligent doctor.”
