		He pointed out that India's ruling elite had initially shied away from the communists, who are in an armed struggle to create a kingless republic, because of pressure from various right-wing lobbies that "are working on behalf of Nepal's King Gyanendra and his coterie".

		But Nepal's Maoists have the sympathy of India's communist parties which, after the last elections in May, emerged stronger than ever before and are influential for they lend critical outside support to the Congress-led, United Progressive Alliance ruling coalition.
