KATHMANDU: CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairperson and former prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal said the opposition alliance of the CPN UML, Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and others had ulterior motive and their coalition was unnatural.
Addressing a joint province-level party gathering organised by the alliance at Dhangadhi today, he claimed that the five-party ruling alliance was formed with a pious goal and it was a natural.
“Had the parties in the present ruling coalition not taken timely steps, the country would have taken the path of regression with the thwarting of achievements made after the political change,” he reasoned.
Referring to the electoral alliance forged by the main opposition CPN UML with RPP and other parties, he said, “The alliance that has been forged with ulterior motive was unusual.”
Saying the present ruling alliance had to be forged to do away with the aberrations in politics, governance, society and political parties, the Unified Socialist chair cautioned that democracy and the republic were still at risk from what he called regressive elements.
Therefore, these regressive elements have to be defeated in the upcoming elections, he added.
Nepali Congress senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel also reiterated that the present ruling alliance was made for protecting the constitution.
Executive Chair of Rastriya Janamorcha, Rashmi Raj Nepali argued that the present five-party alliance was forged to defend the constitution. He said his party joined the alliance as it saw the danger of the derailment of the constitution and the country moving the way of regression.
