CHITWAN: Chairman of the CPN-Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” has claimed that his party would make an alliance with the Nepali Congress in the upcoming three-tier election.
Prachanda, who came to Chitwan for the first time on Thursday after the date of local elections was announced, said that the alliance would be formed after holding talks with NC leadership in the local elections as well.
“The electoral alliance will be formed. The current five-party alliance will continue until the provincial and federal elections,” he said.
Some central and district leaders of the ruling Nepali Congress have said that the NC would claim the position of mayor in Bharatpur Metropolis in the upcoming local level election.
When asked about the claim, leader Dahal said, “It does not matter whether congress told about it. Congress has not told that it will fight alone in the election. Only some leaders of the party told so.”
The government has announced local level elections on May 13.
The current Mayor of the metropolis is Renu Dahal, daughter of Prachanda.
It may be noted that Mayor Dahal won the previous local level election with the help of the NC-Maoist Center coalition.
At present, the Maoist Center has been claiming a mayor position in the metropolis in the election when the alliance becomes intact until the poll.
Prachanda arrived in Chitwan on Thursday morning to participate in various programs organized in his constituency Madi.
