The CPN-Maoist has formally decided to boycott the elections of the Constituent Assembly (CA). Terming the scheduled elections a process of Sikkimization, the Baidya Maoists at the conclusion of four day party central committee meeting held in Pokhara appealed to the people and to ‘nationalist forces’ to boycott the poll. The CPN-Maoist decided to mobilize the full force of the party in cities and villages to foil the electoral process. Chairman Baidya´s political document presented at the meet had proposed boycotting the elections, arguing that it is against the interest of the people. 

The document also says that the elections are being held only to serve the interests of reactionary and foreign forces to turn Nepal into another Sikkim. “We will retaliate, mobilizing the people, if the government invites confrontation by holding the elections through force,” said party spokesperson Pampha Bhusal.
