Joining government not a priority, says Prachanda

Chitwan, Aug 10: The CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said that his party has not prioritized the issue of joining the government.

Talking to the media in Chitwan today, the Maoist Centre Chairman argued that some people were making interpretations as if the Maoist Centre was expecting to join the government while the party was criticizing the wrongdoings of the government.

“This government is not performing well. We should not interpret as if we are willing to join the government while raising issues about the government’s performance. We are not expecting to join the government. We are not concerned about this,” the Maoist Centre Chairman elaborated.

On the occasion, he said that his party would resume the party strengthening campaign along the Mid-Hill Highway after a month adding that the party would push for new agendas after holding its central committee meeting.

“So, we have oriented our party to listen to the people’s voices now instead of the government. The campaign is being resumed to address the people’s concerns,” Prachanda stated.

Likewise, the Maoist Centre Chairman shared that his party was intact after the recently concluded standing committee meeting and the meeting’s decisions would be firmly implemented.

On a separate context, he voiced for expediting the construction works of the Gautam Buddha International Cricket Stadium in Bharatpur.
