The main opposition CPN-UML accused the CPN (Maoist Centre) of endorsing the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) to remain in power.

The party said so by organizing a press conference after the endorsement of the MCC on Tuesday.

“Some parties in the ruling coalition had been claiming that they would stand against the MCC, saying that it was not in the interest of the nation. But, at the end they stood in favour of the compact. The parties made the MCC a geopolitical issue,” UML Deputy General Secretary Pradeep Gyawali said.

He said that a sensational decision was taken by keeping the largest party of the Parliament outside.

Leader Gyawali said that in the meantime rumours were also spread against the party.

Saying that the ruling coalition leaders have shown irresponsibility, he said, “The parties ratified the MCC just to fulfill their vested interest.”
