The Central Committee meeting of CPN (Maoist Center), slated for Aug 2-6, will be live-streamed through the party’s Facebook page. The move is meant to share discussions with the public and rule out propaganda campaigns.

As for governance, I feel the government is trying to deliver on its promises, but there is plenty of room for improvement. The meet will take stock of an entire gamut of things.

A key agenda of the meet is to assign tasks to different committee members and strengthen the party’s organizational base. Reorganizing the central committee is on the agenda and so is the finalization of the itineraries of the party’s upcoming policy convention. Discussions regarding the formation of a Samajbadi (Socialist) Front and the possibility of unification with the Netra Bikram Chand-led  Maoist faction are also on the table. But rumors regarding changes in the party leadership and the secretary-general position are baseless.
