The Constituent Assembly Elections: hindrances and hope

The Constituent Assembly Polls around the corner, YCL cadres are being dragged into more than one controversy, with condemnations of trying to disrupt the elections. National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Thursday condemned the Maoist attack against NC activists including Badu two days ago in Darchula district. The human rights watch dog has also slammed Maoists for reviving the United Revolu-tionary People’s Council. The Nepali Congress (NC) and CPN-UML, the two major factions of the ruling seven-party alliance Thursday flayed the Maoist decision to revive its United Revolutionary People’s Council (URPC). Though Senior Maoist leader Dr Baburam Bhattarai has claimed that the United Revolutionary People’s Council (URPC) is not a “parallel government”.
The assurance of the Maoist leader aside, Young Communist League (YCL) Ganesh Man Pun claimed that they are capable of capturing the entire Kathmandu in just five minutes. He was speaking at a protest function in Ratnapark to protest against police action at YCL offices Wednesday.
