Speaking during a press meet at Sindhuli on Wednesday, Thapa informed that differences persist among the two Maoist parties on the issue of revolution strategies.

Thapa remarked that the Netra Bikram Chand faction broke away from the party due to personal rift and the split was not because of ideological or political differences.

During the press meet, Thapa also said that his party will intensify protests if consensus was not sought through a political meet. He further claimed that the constitution will not be drafted by January 22. However, if promulgated, Thapa warned to burn the copies of new constitution.
