The Communist Party of Nepal is a political party in Nepal led by Netra Bikram Chand (Biplab). It was formed from a split in the Communist Party of Nepal (Revolutionary Maoist) in 2014.

## History

[edit]

Party leaders in front from left to right: Hemanta Prakash oli(Sudarshan); Khadga Bahadur Bishwakarma (Prakanda); Netra Bikram Chand (Biplav); and Dharmendra Bastola(Kanchan)

Echoing the 2012 split of Kiran's faction, which became known as the Communist Party of Nepal (Revolutionary Maoist), Netra Bikram Chand's faction also split from it, claiming: "The Maoist revolt had grossly perverted by the time it arrived in Kathmandu from Rolpa. It is not possible to unite with the party that has strayed from the Maoist ideology."[2] Biplab's party has its core strength in the western parts of the country, particularly the remote Far-Western Development Region. This region is frequently cut off from the rest of the nation due to monsoon and snowfall for months on end, making it particularly vulnerable for famines and malnutrition.

## Border dispute protest

[edit]

Despite supporting anti-India efforts during the impasse, the Kathmandu government and Chand's party have come to loggerheads as Biplab's party has been marginalized from media, additionally having no official parliamentary presence. The party cadres have been targeting cell phones towers of Ncell, causing disruptions in service in Dang Deukhuri District,[3] and have also shut down commercial traffic. Four strikes (banda) have been enforced by the party since its foundation, as of June 2016.[4] The party had initially called a peaceful protest to mark opposition to the Lipulekh Pass, a bilateral India-China deal that did not include Nepal, over territory that Nepal claims is theirs, but was ignored.
