Former Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun has returned to active politics after being given the responsibility of Economic and Production Department of the Maoist Center. The Central Committee meeting of the Maoists held on 21-24 December decided to focus the party organization on production. According to the same decision, the Maoist official meeting held on Monday has assigned Pun to the Finance and Production Department.
Earlier, Pun was prepared to be nominated as the vice president, but he was brought in charge of the production department. He has been attending the official meeting as an invited member. Although there is a dispute within the Maoists regarding the reintroduction of former vice president Pun into party politics, the office bearer meeting has given him the responsibility of the production department.
Deputy Secretary General Haribol Gujurel informed the former Vice President that it has been decided to give responsibility for finance and production.
Preparations to make former vice president Pun as vice president were stopped after questions were raised from the leaders. President Pushpa Kamal Dahal is preparing to nominate Pun, who has started participating in office bearers, standing committee and central committee meetings, as the vice president.
In the last standing committee meeting, senior vice president Narayankaji Shrestha and other leaders said that it would be wrong for a person who has reached a respected position to enter active politics.
Chairman Dahal was the Supreme Commander, Nanda Bahadur Pun, Varshman Pun, Janardhan Sharma and Chakrapani Khanal were the Deputy Commanders of Maoist fighters during the armed conflict. He was the Vice President from November 2072 to March 2079. In March 2079, Ram Sahay Prasad Yadav was elected as the Vice President and Pun's tenure ended. Since then, he did not participate in any political program for a year and a half.
Nanda Bahadur, who was born in Rangsi, Rolpa, on October 7, 2022, was elected in Kathmandu region no. Despite contesting from 4 seats, he was defeated by Gagan Thapa of Congress.
There is no constitutional or legal restriction for former presidents or former vice presidents to be active in political parties. But political analysts say that people who have reached the highest position of the state will be active in a particular party again and it is a matter connected with the morals and sense of responsibility of the person.
