Chairman of the CPN (Maoist Centre) Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said his party would forge an electoral alliance with the ruling parties as much as possible, and if not, it would face the election alone. 

Chairman Dahal reiterated that utmost efforts would be made for keeping intact the alliance for the coming elections.  

The current alliance solved the problems that surfaced in course of the implementation of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact, he argued while addressing a programme organized to unveil a life-size statue of the late leader Posta Bahadur Bogati ‘Dibakar’ here Saturday. 

“With the decision made by the central committee meeting of the party for the two-month-long election campaign, it is time to concentrate on the election,” he reminded the cadres and urged them to reach people’s doorsteps to appeal to people’s support towards the party.

According to him, strong relations with people will help ensure the party’s victory in the coming elections. 

At the programme, he remembered the late leader Dibakar as an honest and dedicated leader which contributed hugely to party movement and organization. His loss is realized now, he added.

Even the leaders of other political parties as Dr Ram Sharan Mahat, Arjun Narsing KC and Rajendra Prakash Lohani expressed views on the late leader Dibakar.

Then vice chairman of the party, Dibakar died of a heart attack on September 15, 2014. RSS

CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' said that there was no possibility for cooperation with the CPN-UML at the moment.

In his address to a press meet organised here today by the Press Organisation Nepal, Province Committee, he hinted at the possibility of an alliance with like-minded parties in the upcoming elections.

 “There will be competition between the two sides: one contributing to institutionalizing changes in the country and other trying to reverse accomplishments, resorting to House obstructions.” 

Dahal, also former Prime Minister, said that they would reach out to the public with their own ideology and vision and would emerge a winner in the upcoming May 13 local-level election.

According to him, the current coalition also emphasizes electoral alliance among the five-party coalition members in the government.

He shared that top leadership of the coalition parties had discussed with the UML to clear Parliament obstructions by the UML itself but there was no consensus. "Hence, the coalition partners have agreed to hold the elections within stipulated time by passing the bill amid the obstruction of the House."

On a different note, Dahal viewed that people would continue to come and go away from the party. As for the Rangeli Municipality's mayor quitting the Maoist Centre and joining the UML, Dahal commented that it was due to his personal interest.

He was also confident that the MCC with interpretative declaration would be implemented in a dignified manner and the US-grant aid will help in the development of the country. RSS
