Page "Communist Party of Nepal (Fourth Convention)" Paragraph 6

In a simplified manner one might say that the key issue behind the split was diverging opinion on who was the main enemy of the party.

MBS claimed that the main enemy was India expansionism, which was backing up the royal house in Nepal.

Since the Nepali Congress, according to him, were Indian puppets cooperation with them was not feasible.

According to Lama was feudalism as the main enemy, and that the royal regime was proping up the feudal system.

The main priority was to fight against the royal regime for a democratic opening, and thus fight against feudalism itself.

To Lama, the Nepali Congress was a potential ally in this struggle.
