KATHMANDU: CPN-Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has termed CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister KP Oli’s journey from Baluwatar to Balkot a result of playing with fire.

Speaking at a program organized in Kathmandu on Friday, the Maoist Center chair accused UML Chair Oli of betraying the communist movement at alien interest.

Prachanda warned the UML chair not to try to play with fire anymore.

“Do not dare to play with fire. What happened while playing with fire was that some people reached Balkot (Oli’s residence) from Baluwatar (Prime Minister’s residence) and lost the government in six out of seven provinces,” he said, referring to UML Chairman Oli.

Maoist Center Chair Prachanda remarked that former Prime Minister Oli acted for reactionary and regressive forces.

He accused that UML Chair Oli conspired against democracy and made room for the royalists.
