The new Maoist party has begun discussions on the code of conduct for its leaders at a time when the UCPN(Maoist) is investigating the properties of its own leaders, according to Maoist leaders.
If the proposed code of conduct is passed, CC members of the CPN-M will be required to submit details of their family property to the party every year and the party will make such details public.
In addition, the code proposes to bar the CC members from involvement in national and international non-governmental organizations. Their argument is that such organizations are run by "imperialists" to paralyze the communist movement.
"The Central Committee has started discussions on the code of conduct and other agenda," said Purna Gharti Magar, a CC member.
According to him, the code of conduct aims at promoting a proletarian lifestyle for party leaders.
The code further says that all the vehicles of the party will be kept at party headquarters and leaders can use such vehicles only if the party permits.
"Almost all leaders say that they should be transformed not only politically and economically but also culturally and should shun the lifestyle of Pushpa Kamal Dahal," said CC member Santosh Budha Magar, adding that if they cannot correct themselves, they will become the next edition of Dahal.
Another point is that all the leaders should be ´whole timers´ and they should not run any independent economic activity, as all things will be managed by the party.
"The leaders should not keep personal property and all property will be institutionalized," said Bharat Bam, a CC member.
