The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) is planning to change its name. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who is also party Chairman, has said the party has been thinking of renaming for more than two years now. Finance Minister Baburam Bhattarai said there was no need to append "Maoists" to the party's name. "The different factions of Communist parties of the country had the same root -- the Communist Party of Nepal," he said on Friday. "And now that our party has been established as the major party of the country, we don't need to add any tail-name".
