Jhalanath Khanal Blames Rightist Ideology for Party's Electoral Defeat

Kathmandu. Nepal Communist Party (NCP) leader Jhalanath Khanal has stated that the main reason for the party's defeat in the last election was the rightist ideology, policy, and program adopted by the leadership. Leader Khanal made such an accusation against the leadership by writing a 36-point disagreement letter to coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda in 24 pages.

"In the historical process of revolution or construction of any country, whether the Communist Party leading that revolution or construction is adopting a correct ideological-political line, that itself determines the victory or defeat of the revolution or construction," Khanal said, questioning Prachanda, "But Comrade Prachanda! Where is your leadership's 'line' trying to take the party? The time has come for everyone to be serious."

Leader Khanal also claimed that the main reason for suffering such a defeat in the communist movement of our country today is the rightist ideology, policy, and program adopted by the leadership of the movement.

"Until that is fundamentally corrected. Until then, neither the party will be unified nor reorganized, nor will the socialist revolution gain momentum. All experiences so far have shown that the decision of everything is made by the correct policy and leadership," leader Khanal said in the letter written to Prachanda.

Khanal stated that if a correct ideology and correct leadership cannot be established even now, it will be difficult to revive this movement which is suffering a serious defeat.
