Kathmandu, Dec 24 : Nepal Prime Minister Prachanda has said that the country''s political forces have been heading for a new phase of polarisation with leftists on one side and ''reactionary'' forces on the other.

Speaking here at a function on Tuesday organized to welcome CPN-UML defector Kunta Sharma to Maoist party, Prachnada said, "A new ground of polarization has surfaced. All genuine communist forces should come together as reactionary and regressive forces have joined hands."

He argued that the entry of UML leader into his party was a sign of left polarization.

He said large groups of UML cadres would be joining Maoist in the coming months.

"The UML should join hands with Maoists. And those reactionaries within UML not willing to join hands with Maoists will fall to the ground in pieces, Kantipur quoted Prachanda as saying. He said that polarization among communist forces started taking place some two and a half years ago.

Prachanda also said his party would not head for revisionism and reformism. (ANI)
