Mohan Bikram has been talking from his hideout about the rifts in the Maoist leadership. The Maverick communist leader describes it as an indication of Prachanda's "dictatorial style" and thinks many Maoist rank and file are now in danger from Prachanda loyalists. He says Baburam should have challenged Prachanda but seems to think that Baburam doesn't have the fortitude. Mohan Bikram has been sharply critical of Baburam ever since the latter left his party to join Prachanda in the early 1990s but this time he appears to have softened. He thinks feudalistic and fascist tendencies are on the rise in the Maoist movement and he believes that Baburam's life is in danger. He is surprised that Baburam was sent to India and suspects he may have bowed to pressure. He maintains the Maoists cannot win and reiterates his stand that the Maoists will one day unite with the monarchy. He thinks the Maoist overtures towards India are a part of an effort towards a soft landing under Indian mediation. He adds: "In this way, the Maoists are no different than the UML and NC which are always looking to Delhi for blessings. They are not revolutionaries anymore."
