HYDERABAD, OCT.14. The CPI (ML) People's War and the Maoist Communist Centre of India (MCCI) have merged to form a new "unified" Communist Party of India (Maoist), the PW State secretary, Ramakrishna, announced at a news conference here today. He said the party was formed on September 21 itself at an undisclosed place in the forests, but the announcement was "withheld" owing to security reasons. The news was released simultaneously throughout the country today. The general secretary of the People's War central committee, Ganapathi, had been elected general secretary of the new party. Mr. Ramakrishna and other leaders of his organisation and the CPI (ML) Janasakthi, said that the merger would cause "fear among the ruling classes." It had "fulfilled the aspirations of the masses" for a strong revolutionary party that would usher in a "new democratic society" by advancing towards socialism and communism.
New `army'
They said that the two guerrilla "armies" of the CPI (ML) People's War and the MCC — the People's Guerrilla Army (PGA) and the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) — have now merged. It would be called the PLGA from December 2. The new party would carry on the new "democratic revolution which would remain directed against imperialism, feudalism and comprador bureaucratic capitalism." Mr. Ramakrishna said the new party would take up State-wide week-long campaigns to spread the message about the merger from November 7 and hold a public meeting in Hyderabad on November 16.
