Chairperson of the CPN (Unified Socialist) Madhav Kumar Nepal has claimed that the coalition government would continue until next elections.
Democratic communist force would come together in next elections, said the former Prime Minister at a press conference in Kohalpur in Banke on Thursday.
Stating that dialogues between the ruling parties and others on the Millennium Challenge Corporation project were underway, the former Prime Minister ruled out reports of possibility of breaking the alliance just because of the project. The CPN-US does not accept any project trying to do something other in the name of economic development despite it easily accepting every agreement in the welfare of the country, he said.
Saying that they rebelled for safeguarding the constitution, democracy and republic, he maintained that regressive forces would stand in the way to success, while indicating to the opposition CPN (UML).
The CPN-US would emerge victorious in next elections as the party is at work to win faith of Nepali people, he claimed. On the occasion, the CPN-US chair welcomed the former deputy secretary of the CPN (UML), Banke, Pramod Dhital.
Bagmati Chief Minister dismisses his animated video statement
Chief Minister of Bagmati Province Rajendra Pandey has said that attempts were made to create illusion by releasing an edited video through animation about his speech.
Speaking at the Province Assembly on Thursday, the Chief Minister said he did not make any statement anywhere refusing to allocate budget where his party’s committee was not formed. Chief Minister Pandey, who is also the CPN (Unified Socialist) leader, urged the UML leaders to listen to his statement even from the social networking sites.
During the Province Assembly meeting on Wednesday, the leader of major opposition CPN (UML)’s leader Dormani Poudel had drawn attention on different issues while seeking the Chief Minister’s response.
While speaking in today’s meeting, UML lawmaker Keshav Raj Pandey asked that the Chief Minister Pandey should address UML’s concerns prior to the Province Assembly proceedings.
After Pandey’s statement, Speaker Sanu Kumar Shrestha postponed the Province Assembly meeting for an indefinite period. Later, the meeting was summoned after four hours. However, UML’s lawmakers did not turn up at the meeting stating that its lawmakers left for other places from Province Capital Hetauda after the notice of Province Assembly postponement was released.
