His popularity rating among compatriots is nose-diving due to his excessive negative mindset, the Unified Maoists Party leader Baburam Bhattarai has freshly appealed his masters in New Delhi to interfere in the internal matters of Nepal.

Guess who was seated beside him at a program held in New Delhi, Monday?

Shyam Saran! This does tell a lot about Baburam’s New Delhi’s erstwhile Indian Congress connection.

Indian congress still dominateds Indian establishment?

Baburam made this clarion call at a program organized jointly by ‘Society for Policy Studies’ and ‘India International Centre’ on ‘Current Developments in Nepal.’

Baburam also tried to give the political instability in Nepal a geopolitical colour while seeking India’s direct intervention. He also later tried to explain the degree of intervention.

He said, “If there was instability in Nepal, it will adversely affect the geo-politics of the region and therefore it was in India's interests to see a peaceful and stable Nepal.”

Is there another 12-Point in the making? Perhaps yes!

He also said, “As a big neighbour India has always played a positive role for the peace process, and should continue to play that role in the interest of the people of both countries, not for its own self- interest.”

The Indo Asia News Service quotes Baburam as stating further, “India should through "official and unofficial channels" help complete the peace process in Nepal.”

He also assured the New Delhi rulers that his party would do whatever it can to push it through.

Is it a treachery against the motherland? Inviting foreign intervention?

“Keeping in mind the changing dynamics of the region, it was important for the peace process in Nepal to be completed”, said Baburam and continued, "Nepal will make some difference if there is instability and conflict, especially with the country positioned between India and China.”

"Indirectly, Nepal can turn into a vortex of conflict, and to avoid that too, it is in everybody's interest to take an active role to avoid another conflict in Nepal".

"Though India should not be directly involved, has not been directly involved, we don't want any foreign power to get directly involved, but the reality is in the present day globalised world, what happens in the neighbourhood cannot be just missed out; what happens in Nepal will have some impact on India, and what happens in India will have an impact on Nepal," he said.

While in New Delhi, the India trained Maoists’ leader will be meeting President Pranab Mukherjee, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

Baburam’s detractors often equate him with Sikkim’s Lendhup Dorje. But he may be not.
