The leader accused Panda of taking an ‘enemy-like opportunistic stand on the outfit as also the movement and the leadership’.“Our Central Committee is expelling Sabyasachi Panda from the party and declaring the fact to our party comrades in Odisha, the entire revolutionary masses and the revolutionary camp in our country,” the Maoists said in a media release in Kolkata.Pointing to the 16-page letter Panda addressed to CPI-Maoist general secretary Muppala Lakshmana Rao alias Ganapathy and released to the media on July 14, the Maoist release, signed by Politburo member Anand, said: “In cahoots with the ruling classes, he spat venom on the CPI (Maoist) and the revolutionary movement led by it and hurled several baseless, sham allegations and fabricated lies.”“He released this letter with the evil intention of liquidating the party and the revolutionary movement, discarded the ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and left the vanguard party of the proletariat.”It also accused Panda of openly declaring that he was ‘completely dissociating himself from the People’s War line and revolutionary practice’ and thereby exposed his modern revisionist face. ‘’He proved himself to be a renegade,’’ the release said.The CPI (Maoist) claimed that it conducts meetings, plenums and conferences in order to correct and improve its practice and to advance with higher tasks. “It realises its mistakes and corrects them through criticism __ self-criticism, reviews and rectification campaigns taken up specifically. This is a continuous process,” the release said.The CPI (Maoist)’s open declaration that Panda has become a renegade comes days after the latter issued an audio tape in which he described him as secretary of Odisha Maovadi Party indicating that his association with the revolutionary outfit is over.Panda’s plans to surrender are doing the rounds in political and police circles since he has control over a small group operating along borders of Kandhamal, Ganjam, Gajapati and Rayagada with an army of limited military capability. His stand too has earned rivals in the Maoist party and police believe his life is in danger which is why he may give himself up in favourable conditions.
