PM Oli: Pushpa Lal never compromised principles for personal gain



KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that Pushpal Lal Shrestha, the founding General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal, was a leader of correct ideology, dynamic organization, and unwavering commitment. He emphasized that those aspiring to transform society should follow Pushpalal’s ideals.

Speaking at the 47th Pushpa Lal Memorial Day organized by the CPN-UML at its central office in Chyasal on Wednesday, Prime Minister and UML Chair Oli stated that Pushpa Lal never abandoned his principles nor sought personal benefit by aligning with opposing forces.

“Pushpa Lal always remained steadfast in his ideals. He may have had some limitations, but he was at the forefront in both thought and action,” Oli said. “He was a true revolutionary, above caste and religion. He never used ‘Shrestha’ as a surname. He was the kind of leader who could lead the communist movement in Nepal with vigor, and he possessed the right ideology and devoted leadership. UML leaders and cadres, who carry his legacy, must not forget these qualities.”
