The Maoists have made public the name of their 73 members for the interim parliament, which is scheduled to be formed on January 15.

Led by its spokesperson Krishna Bahadur Mahara, the Maoists’ parliamentary team includes central leaders like Dinanath Sharma, Dev Gurung, Matrika Yadav, Hisila Yami, Khadga BK, Bamdev Chhetri, Janardan Sharma aka Prabhakar and Jayapuri Gharti.

Top leaders including chairman Prachanda, Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and Ram Bahadur Thapa aka Badal had already decided not to become the MPs.

The list of its 73 MPs includes 22 from Janajati (indigenous community), 21 Madhesi (Terai community), 28 women, 17 representing martyrs’ families and 11 from Dalit community.

The list had been prepared by a committee led by Badal a few weeks ago.

The Maoists, however, have not selected ten additional MPs as per the recent decision among eight party leaders to divide the 48 seats allocated for nominations among themselves.
