Monarchist momentum fading, political stability strengthening: UML



KATHMANDU: The ruling CPN-UML has assessed that ongoing attempts to destabilize the political system are gradually losing strength.

During a Secretariat meeting held on Sunday at the party’s central office in Chyasal, Lalitpur, UML leaders concluded that the country is broadly progressing toward political and policy stability.

Deputy General Secretary Pradeep Gyawali stated that the party believes forces trying to derail stability—including monarchist movements—are weakening.

This conclusion follows the slowdown of monarchist demonstrations that had intensified since March but began to lose momentum after a violent protest in Tinkune, Kathmandu.

Gyawali said the party has resolved to channel all its energy and resources into establishing UML as the leading force capable of securing a majority in the 2084 elections.

The meeting also noted that the current government’s policies and programs are more dynamic, structured, and directionally sound compared to the past.

According to Gyawali, office bearers have recommended that the upcoming budget be practical and results-driven, in line with the government’s policy priorities.

He added that the budget should emphasize boosting production and productivity, prioritizing essential projects, and promoting self-sufficiency in the agricultural sector. Suggestions were also made to prepare the budget with careful consideration of resource availability.

The meeting welcomed the government’s recent agreements with teachers and doctors, with the party expressing its appreciation for the resolutions.
