Gokul Baskota Criticizes Communist Party Unity Efforts

Kathmandu. CPN-UML leader Gokul Baskota has made a sharp comment on the recent efforts of communist parties to unite and form a joint front. 

Former minister and leader Baskota, in a post on social media Facebook, satirized the desire to re-join a pot that has been broken repeatedly. 

He interpreted such efforts in the political sphere as a ploy by the leadership to hide their failures. Leader Baskota accused the leadership of trying to create such a narrative by showing a terrible danger in the country. 

He wrote on Facebook, 'This narrative, driven by the leadership by showing a terrible danger, is a beautiful story and in essence a blunt weapon shown to cover up their failures and remain in power.' It is his understanding that the leadership is only looking at its own interests in the name of forming unity or fronts among political parties.

He has also challenged the top leaders of the communist parties to first admit their mistakes if they truly want reform and to gain strength. Baskota further questioned the leadership, writing, 'If you want reform and to gain strength, first say that breaking up was a mistake. Can you leave yourself and say your colleagues should move forward?'
