Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the coordinator of the Nepali Communist Party, has won from Rukum East in the House of Representatives elections. He was looking for a safe place in the House of Representatives elections, which were announced after the Gen-G movement dissolved the parliament. Rukum East, the Maoist base area, became a safe area for him.
He was elected as a member of the House of Representatives when the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was winning an unprecedented victory nationwide. His own party's co-coordinator and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal was defeated. Dahal won when even top leaders of the UML and Congress were defeated.
Dahal, who started his political career as a member of the party in the Pushpalal group of the NCP in 2028 Bikram Sambat, formed the Marxist Study Group in 2031 B.S. with Badal, Mitra Dawadi, Khem Bhandari and Pushpa Bhurtelas.
He entered the fourth general convention in 2034 B.S. and became a full-time cadre in 2035 B.S. and a member of the Chitwan District Committee in 2036 B.S. He was recommended for membership by leader Amik Sherchan.
He became a regional bureau member in 2038 and the general secretary of the central committee of the All Nepal Youth Association in 2040. He was elected as a central member from the fifth general convention of the NCP (Mashal) in 2041 and a member of the Politburo in 2042.
On April 29, 2043, while the final preparations for the National Panchayat elections were underway, a political incident called the Sector Incident took place in Kathmandu. On the night of April 14 (morning of the 15th), some police posts in Kathmandu were attacked. The Sector Incident gave birth to a rebel leader in the history of the Nepali Communist Party, Dahal.
Mashal had brought Mohan Baidya to the leadership of the party at the fifth general convention held in Ayodhya, India in December 2041. The Mashal split. Singh, on the other hand, formed a new party called 'NCP Masal' under his leadership after holding the 'Fourth National Conference' in Gorakhpur, India in April 2042. That party became famous as Patalo Masal. That party still exists today.
On April 29, 2043, the NCP Mashal led by Baidya attacked some police posts and adopted a policy of boycotting the National Panchayat elections. The incident, known as the Sector Scandal, displaced Mohan Baidya from the leadership.
The central committee meeting of Mashal held in Chitwan in October 2046 concluded that it was wrong to commit the Sector Scandal. The positions of the leaders involved in the scandal were demoted one level. The positions of Mohan Baidya, Dev Gurung and others were demoted. Baidya had come to the conclusion that he would resign as the general secretary, taking moral responsibility as the party chief.
Since Dahal was not involved in the Sector Scandal, the Scandal came as an opportunity for him. Baidya proposed him for the party leadership (general secretary). Baidya said that he gave Dahal the opportunity to become general secretary because he agreed with his idea of carrying out a new democratic revolution.
After Baidya left, Dahal was elected general secretary of Mashal in 2046. Mashal and the Proletarian Workers' Organization formed the CPN Unity Center in 2048. He also became its general secretary. But the United People's Front Nepal registered a party with the Election Commission and participated in the elections, saying it would use the election. In the 2048 election, it won eight seats in the House of Representatives and became the third party.
With the aim of starting a 'people's war' in the country, the party's name was changed to CPN (Maoist) after the third expanded meeting held after the first national conference of the then CPN Unity Center in 2051 BS. He became the general secretary of the CPN (Maoist) and started the 'people's war' from 2052 Falgun 1. He became the chairman of the CPN (Maoist) from the second national conference in 2057 BS.
After the Maoists formed the military organization 'People's Liberation Army', Dahal was declared the Supreme Commander of the People's Liberation Army Nepal in 2058 BS. Before that, peace talks between the then government of His Majesty and the Maoists had not been successful.
The first talks between the then government and the Maoists began on 2058 BS on 7th July. The government and the Maoists had announced a ceasefire. The first round of talks between the government and the Maoists took place on Bhadra 14, Bhadra 28, and Kartik 28, Bhadra 28. However, after all three rounds of talks failed to reach a conclusion, the Maoists announced the breakup of the talks on Mangsir 8, 2058 and attacked the Nepal Army barracks in Ghorahi, Dang. After that, the government declared a state of emergency in the country and set a price on the heads of leaders such as Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Baburam Bhattarai, Mohan Baidya.
Similarly, on Magh 16, 2060, another ceasefire was declared and another round of talks between the government and the Maoists took place. Three rounds of talks were held on Baisakh 14, Baisakh 26, and Bhadra 1, but they failed. On Bhadra 11, 2060, the Maoists broke off the talks again and launched a fierce attack on the districts around Kathmandu, saying they would ‘stab us in the back and hit us in the head’.
During the talks, Dahal also held talks with the royal court. He claimed that the talks were held to urge the king to step down to bring about a republic through peaceful means.
On November 20, 2009, a 12-point agreement was reached between seven political parties and the Maoists to end the monarchy.
‘It is imperative to implement the concept of full democracy by implementing a progressive restructuring of the state to solve class, ethnic, gender, regional, etc. problems in all political, economic, social, and cultural sectors by ending the autocratic monarchy,’ the agreement stated. Immediately after the agreement, the seven parties launched protests across the country, while the Maoists intensified attacks on government security agencies.
