Uphill task for Maoists
Surprise….Surprise!!! Nepal’s CA elections have given unexpected verdict and CPN Maoists are heading for clean majority. Many pundits and analysts have believed that Maoists will merely be third largest party and democratic parties like Nepali Congress and CPN UML would be the leaders. But how wrong they were.
There are no clear answers to question; why Maoist doing so well. Maoists critics say their threat and intimidation prior to election played crucial role in judgment making process of Nepali people. But many believe Nepali people want change and they put their faith in Maoists. Whatever the arguments are, one thing is clear: Nepal Communist Party Maoists have emerged as big player in coming Constituent Assembly.
But there are daunting challenges lie ahead for Maoists. Using popular campaigns and luring public, they got the mandate. But in reality, it would be mountainous task for them to achieve their goals. First major concern is to see how international community will react to this election process. CPN Moaist has been vehemently opposed to policies of India and US. US haven’t removed Maoists from its list of international terrorist organization. International community particularly US and India must be in dilemma whether to accept the verdict or not. India is itself facing growing problem with Naxalist and supporting Maoists could send wrong signals to Naxalists. Whereas US doesn’t want to see victory of communism over capitalism.
So Maoists leadership would find itself in hot milk to assure international community about it intentions and commitment to democracy, liberty and human rights. With start they can do is: control unruly activities of its youth wing, Young Communist League (YCL), scrap its parallel kangaroo governments, return back all seized properties and allow people to return home. Oh man, I thought to write one but the list continued.
Their task is not only to assure international community but also to take all domestic player together and lead in constitution writing process. Besides that, they have look after administrative part too. They have to make everyone happy including its militias and Nepal Army. Not only that, they have to control escalating inflation and bring revolutionary economic reforms and increase pace of development.
These are only few problems. Many will come as time pass by. It was easy for them to comment but now, its their challenge to meet people’s aspirations. They have got 2 years to make people feel change, lets see how far they can go.
