KATHMANDU, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M) Wednesday issued a strong worded warning that it would be forced to join a decisive movement if there were attempts to disrupt the upcoming elections thereby preventing it from rising to power through popular ballot, local newspaper The Rising Nepal reported Thursday.

    Addressing the first Constituent Assembly (CA) election mass meeting and the 13th anniversary of the People's War organized at the Open Air Theater in Nepali capital Kathmandu, CPN-M leaders including party Chairman Prachanda claimed that the party would secure majority in the upcoming election and vowed to institutionalize the agendas of nationality, federal democratic republic, progressive restructuring of the state and people's livelihood as envisioned by the People's War.

    The party started the People's War on Feb. 13, 1996 and had gone underground after a 40-point memorandum submitted a month earlier by its public organization Joint Left Front to the then Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba was ignored.

    "Seeing our massively growing popularity among the people and fearing that our party is nearing to acquire state power through the CA poll legally all the national and international reactionary elements are making their last ditch effort to disrupt the election," claimed Chairman Prachanda.

    He said that the country was availed of a historic opportunity of developing Nepal into a great nation but the traditional forces that were enjoying the power and exploiting the people were plotting for a final assault to maintain their position and turn the clock back. "We are doing our utmost to stop them while they are hell bent to stop us," he said.

    He asserted that the victory of his party in the poll and birth of new Nepal ensuring liberation of all the oppressed classes was inevitable as it had a mother-child relation with the same.

    "But the nation is passing through some form of terror in that there are forces bent on keeping the world under their control and are suggesting to derail the poll. They seem to be siding with the army officials who have been demanding for their deployment in the polls and the king is giving untoward expression and armed groups and activities in Madhesh are mushrooming," he said

    Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, senior leader of CPN-M said that the party's election manifesto would be made public soon. The basis of the commitment would be establishing peace based on drastic changes.

    "We will have five point commitment that include institutionalizing democratic republic, restructuring the state under a federal structure, pro-people economic policy and national sovereignty," Bhattarai said.

    Urging the people to vote for the party he claimed that the party would gain the state power through the election and his party chairman would be the first president of the republic in Nepal.

    He stated that the party had not given up the dream it had at the time of starting the war, but "the method is peaceful one now."

    Barsh Man Pun, with party name "Ananta", deputy commander of CPN-M armed force, urged the people to expose and foil the conspiracy of defeating the party by the use of money, muscle, media and illusion of the middle class.

    Referring to the King's expression that there was meaning in his keeping mum he warned that there was also meaning in the silence of the CPN-M army and all the working people.

    Jayapuri Gharti, Chairperson of CPN-M affiliated All Nepal Women Association (Revolutionary) informed that the party had decided to send 40 percent women contestants to the polls and challenged other parties to do so.

    Tilak Pariyar, Chairman of Nepal Dalit Liberation Front United, said that the end of monarchy would herald the beginning of liberation of the Dalits (people belonging to lower caste).

    In November 2006, the Comprehensive Peace Accord was signed between CPN-M and the then ruling Seven-party Alliance government. In accordance to the Accord, CPN-M joined the Interim Parliament on Jan. 15, 2007 and the Interim Government on April 1 last year.

    The CA elections are slated on April 10, and the CA is to decide the future political set-up of Nepal and the fate of monarchy.
