Long term plans

The CPN (ML) could not sustain its program of class struggle. The party did not develop any policy or framework concerning this. From now on, the party must develop village committees to carry forward the class struggle, and the party's policies and opinions must be based on this philosophy. Armed village committees have to be formed nationally and from this category a volunteer force has to be formed. Class struggle is a continuous process and needs to be sustained.

The left parties must unite to tackle reactionary forces. An alliance must be formed and all left leaders and activists must join. Fifty-one percent of the party's central committee should not contest general elections. The general secretary of the central committee and two-thirds of the politburo must not be allowed to file candidature in the general election. We must carry out an investigation every year into the property of all members. If any illegally acquired wealth is discovered, it must be immediately nationalised and people found in possession of such wealth must be immediately expelled from the party. The party will specify an amount within which all of its members must make ends meet. Members of the central committee, elected officials and members nominated to the Rastriya Parishad must be full-time party workers and cannot belong to the business community. All members must work in the areas the party allocates to them, with no compromises. They should all work for the unity of the Left and the formation of a national government. The army and police must be changed radically to be more democratic and transparent. A high-level investigation committee must be formed to control corruption in these bodies.

The united party should be a model for all others in the country. The party's name should be simply the Nepal Communist Party-no initials at the end. That is, we should have a united party. The process of unification should be similar to that of the Marxists and the ML in 1990-it should be based on equality and nothing else. All the party's frontal organisations must be treated equally. We need a party campaign and a class campaign to bring about this unification. The new party will have members of both parties. Members of the new party nominated to the Upper House will remain so. Central Committee members of the unified party will be elected by fair means. The unification process should move forward and issues that cannot be resolved easily should be postponed.
