Architect-turned-rebel Baburam Bhattarai, one of the front-ranking leaders of the underground communist insurgents, has said his banned party would "obstruct" all processes adopted by the royalist government headed by King Gyanendra to hold municipal elections.
Bhattarai's statement follows a news conference called by the king's deputy, Tulsi Giri, vice-chairman of the council of ministers, at which he ruled out reciprocating the ceasefire or beginning talks with armed Maoists and asserted the government would go ahead with elections even if there was no peace.
Bhattarai claimed that if the rebels resorted to violence in January to stop the polls, it would not affect their pact with the political parties which had been urging them to give up violence.

Bhattarai’s works, especially, reflect the Maoist revolutionaries’ ability to dialectically cope up with the unfolding of the multivariate reality that always reveals itself in a piecemeal manner, never in totality.
