"Evidence has been found that Mahara has given instructions to register the vehicle in the name of Gurung after making a decision on whose name should be registered among Gadi Dawa, Mahara and Gurung," said a member of the commission. Dawa, Mahara, Poon's son Deepesh, Jitendra, Rahul and advisor Gurung have a joint role in the

CIB spokesperson Hovindra Bogti said that a case will be submitted to the court based on the allegations against him and the evidence found.

Guru of Maoist leaders

Krishna Bahadur Mahara is the political guru of Maoist leaders including former Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun, Finance Minister Varshman Pun, CPN General Minister Netra Vikram Chand. In the year 2048, he came to Parliament from the then United People's Front. He is an elected MP in 2064, 2070 and 2074.

Mahara, a confidant of Pushpa Kamal Dahal since 2048, was the coordinator of the negotiation team sent by the then rebel Maoists to negotiate with the government in 2058 and 2063 and a member and spokesperson in 2060. He has been in power and power for most of the time after coming to peaceful politics, but in the last half decade, he is on the path of rapid decline.

Mahara was elected for the first time in the 2048 parliamentary elections. Mahara was the Information and Communications Minister when the Maoists came to government for the first time under the leadership of Girija Prasad Koirala after the peace accord. Similarly, after the election of 2064, he was the Minister of Information and Communication even after the government was formed under Maoist leadership.

After that, he became Deputy Prime Minister and Minister four times, including Home Affairs (2067) under the leadership of Jhalnath Khanal, Artha (2073) under the leadership of Dahal, and Foreign Affairs (2074) under the leadership of Sher Bahadur Deuba. . He became Speaker in 2074, but he was forced to step down from the post of Speaker after he was arrested due to his controversial relationship with an employee of Parliament. Despite being acquitted by the court, Mahara, who was under social pressure, rarely appeared in public events except in his constituency Dang and home district Rolpa.

The convention of December 2078 nominated Mahara as a central member. In June 2079, he got the responsibility of the party vice-president and spokesperson to unite the parties with similar ideas. He made Netravikram Chand join Samajwadi Morcha last June. He also started efforts for unity with revolutionary Maoist leader Mohan Vaidya. Maoist secretary Ram Karki says that the top leaders are falling into conflict when they ignore the ideological and practical purification that has weakened the Maoists after the armed war. 'Ideological struggle based on values ​​and beliefs will keep the party and the leader in the right place,' he said, 'the tendency to say that the individual is great will destroy the individual and also the party.' He says abuse of power will lead to similar incidents. "Political ethics, values, and recognition are the most important things," he says, "not only Mahara, but other leaders and workers are also losing political ethics."
