Baidya, who split from the UCPN (Maoist) in June to form a new party, said rumors that the two parties are going to hold a unity convention were deliberately spread by the UCPN(Maoist) leaders.[break]
"I want to dispel those rumors because we didn´t split the party just for forming a new organization," Baidya said at a function organized in the capital Saturday by the Pyuthan-Kathmandu liaison chapter of his party.
He was of the view that unification with the old party was not possible because they had split because they could not correct the ways of UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, who is also party vice-chairman.
Baidya accused Dahal and Bhattarai of betraying the party rank and file, who were in fact for a revolution in the true sense, by reaching secret deals with Indian leaders while at the same time instructing party members to fight against "Indian expansionists".
He said that they learnt only lately that Dahal and Bhattarai had been cheating the rank and file and keeping party members in the dark about the deals reached with the Indian side during the insurgency period.
"We came to know only lately that Dahal and Bhattarai had reached secret deals with the Indians at the same time the party rank and file were being instructed to prepare for tunnel warfare against India," said Baidya.
He admitted that there was no point accusing the Nepali Congress (NC) and CPN-UML of compromising national interests because it was Dahal and Bhattarai who had lately ´surrendered to Indian expansionists´.
He said Prime Minister Bhattarai´s insistence on signing the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA) and the government´s plan to award an Indian company a contract to upgrade Tribhuvan International Airport and other airports make his intentions still clearer.
