New party was formed for safeguarding democracy-leader Khatiwada

CPN (Unified Socialist)’s standing committee member and Minster for Health and Population Birod Khatiwada has said the new party was formed after revolt within the CPN (UML) for safeguarding democracy.

At a greetings exchange programme organized by Youth Association Nepal, Bhaktapur chapter in Thimi on Tuesday, he said, “The UML was not run embracing policy and principle rather it was dominated by individual.There was sloganeering of individual rather not of the party. Therefore, we constituted the new party by organizing the people advocating and fighting for freedom, dignity and socialism”.

Stressing the need to run a nationwide campaign for party organization expansion, he expressed his confidence that the CPN (Unified Socialist) would emerge as the largest party in the upcoming election. “UML would not win election alone without forging alliance with other parties. Our party would surely win more seats than the UML”, Minster Khatiwada added.
