SpotNepal: Has the Republic system started in the nation?
Mahara : It already started while we were in agitation. Now it's in the process of being organized. One point is heading towards continuing the completion of the process.

SpotNepal: Can you say that the conspirators have been completely defeated?
Mahara : They are in the process of being defeated but not completely yet. They can conspire again if they choose to. There are several examples in the world that the defeated powers had raised again. We should be alert and not stay being quite.

SpotNepal: Has the conspiracies of international powers ended?
Mahara : Mainly colonists and expansionists try to conspire, but they can never play a decisive role. Decisive power is always on the Nepali people. The people will support the interim statue because it was brought by the eight parties' agreement. None of the powers can do anything even if they want to do so.

SpotNepal: What are the challenges after issuing an interim statue?
Mahara : The main challenges are the "backwardists". Except, Nepalese should struggle more to reach up to the constituent assembly and try to establish a new Nepal. And the most challenging part is facing those challenges. We want to continue this harmony to last long. There are several t hings to develop like economics, social and cultural status of Nepali people. There are several restructures and infrastructures to be developed.

SpotNepal: What should the House of Representative decide on before the interim constitution is implemented?
Mahara : We will accept all positive decisions done before and go along with them, but there are only partial and not to completely restructure the nation. None of decisions are for a whole change, but if there are decisions for a whole change then they can be considered.

SpotNepal: What are the differences between your restructure and the seven party's amendments? If there are any disputes then is it guaranteed that it will not become an obstacle for bringing solution to the nation?
Mahara : There is certainty that each party will be polarized for the restructuring of the nation. There will be polarization even in the constituent assembly. There will be a polarization between statuesque and progressive thinking. The polarization will be in seven parties and in our party too. Finally this will help to move the nation ahead. Progressive powers will lead on it.

SpotNepal: Is it now sure that the constituent assembly will be formed?
Mahara : Each one should know that the constituent assembly is certain after issuing the interim constitution and for it there is no alternative. Further fight will be on either the result of constituent assembly favored by the people or not.

SpotNepal: Is there a possibility of postponing the constituent assembly after Jestha?
Mahara : It should not be postponed. If it is postponed, more powers will get opportunity to play around and they may create chances of failure to the constituent assembly and that is why we are standing on it for it not to be postponed.

SpotNepal: By being in the government your party is trying to get international support, right?
Mahara : Yes, you are absolutely right. The will of the people and the need of the nation is completely changed for which international support is needed. And we go for it. It is also needed for republic and democracy in the constituent assembly.

SpotNepal: Will other international revolutionary powers agree on your decision?
Mahara : It is not necessary that revolutionary powers of any country should be the same. Models of revolutionists vary in the world. And models from history are also different. It is not necessary that the characteristics of Nepal, geo-politics situation, sense of Nepali people, strategy of Nepali political movement and modality should match them. We move ahead according to Nepali people's will. The major fact is either we are honestly involving to change the society or not. And people should know that we are moving ahead in a different attitude.

SpotNepal: Do Maoists realize that they had got victory in different political accords and procedures after the ceasefire?
Mahara : Certainly, we have achieved a great victory. If we see communism's point of view we have to do several things. But defeating the feudal system point of view, CPN Maoist has got a great achievement.

SpotNepal: Did your party transform seven parties or seven parties transformed your party?
Mahara : We need to understand first what a political mainstream is. Political mainstream changes according to the development of the society and then it becomes new. In this 21st century and after the Jana Andolan-2, if some one still says that the political mainstream is the same as the old ways, then is not in a mainstream. What we want in our mainstream is where most people can participate. Ruling powers that are against people can't stay in a mainstream. We are trying to build such constitution and political system where more people can participle. If we stay based on that limitation, then political parties are also changed. Till yesterday political parties were moving along with the King, but today they have left. They are changing now and this is a positive response to the Nepali society and for building a New Political mainstream. We think we played a role to bring out where we are. We have changed ourselves also. We have come to the point where political change is possible through the peaceful movement. That is why we have developed and changed our status also. Both, the seven parties and the CPN Maoist, have developed and formed a new standard, so we can say that we transformed each other.

SpotNepal: As a participant in the government, what format have you made for new Nepal?
Mahara : In short we can say Republic Democratic. It will represent all people proportionally and equally. We want to make an independent and self-dependent country where there will be no more ownership by the feudalist.

SpotNepal: The term 'rule of law' is mostly used in democracy. What types of ruling system will be there as you participate in the government? Is that rule of law only?
Mahara : I have different opinion about democracy. I don't believe that democracy can be organized only by rule of law. It is wrong to say that everything can be solved by law only. The ways of solving issues need to be looked upon from the political point of view. Likes or dislikes (compromises) are natural in a class society and this should not be controlled by the law. Scientifically, compromises and struggles need to be solved in the right way. To be successful, we need to bring awareness to the people the need for radical change as we organize it. It is dictatorship if we try to solve problems or other national issues by police force and law.
