On June 2012, Mohan Baidya split off from UCPN (Maoist) along with 45 of 149 central committee members to form the Communist Party of Nepal–Maoist, also referred to as dash Maoists. He accused the party of being filled with opportunists and the leadership of destroying the achievements of the People's War. He also termed accepting the line of "democratic republic" in 2005 and signing the Comprehensive Peace Accord in 2006 as major mistakes by the Maoist leadership. The party boycotted the 2013 Nepalese Constituent Assembly elections and opposed the interim government led by Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi that was conducting the elections. The party tried disrupting the elections detonating bombs in several places which resulted in the death of a child.
