POREG VIEW:Maoist chief Prachanda and his two deputies Mohan Vaidya Kiran and Baburam Bhattarai represent the centrist, ultra-left and liberal schools of thoughts respectively and their differences came to the fore at the Unified CPN (Maoist) party’s standing committee meeting on Aug 28. While Kiran’s ideology makes him close to China and has few takers in and outside the party, Prachanda is fast becoming an Oxymoron with mood swings that show case his desperation for power. For both, Bhattarai is a `revisionist’. Reports that Prachanda had met the royalists and that he now supports revival of `Kingship’ give credence not only to Prachanda brand of stooping to conquer but also to the talk of an unacknowledged kinship between the Maoists and the Palace, notwithstanding the denials by the central committee of the Maoists.
