MCC pact will be endorsed: Leader Nidhi

Janakpur: Nepali Congress leader Bimalendra Nidhi has expressed confidence that parliament would endorse the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact.

“The activism showed by Maoist Centre’s Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Chairperson of CPN (Unified Socialist) Madhav Kumar Nepal for MCC also built hope for the passage of the MCC,” leader Nidhi observed. Leader Nidhi was saying it before media persons at Janakpur Airport on Wednesday.

If the MCC does not get endorsed, Nepal loses trust in the international community, he argued, saying that MCC was the US grant for the development of electricity transmission lines.

It is not a loan at all, he added. He further said receiving the MCC grant would not create a debt-trap to Nepal. So, NC was endorsing it with the initiative of people. Moreover, he urged the party leaders and cadres to devote themselves to the preparation for the coming May 13 elections of the local levels.
