CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said that Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has also directed his party leaders not to speak against the alliance. That is why there is no problem in the alliance now, he said.

Speaking to journalists at the Dhangadi Airport on Monday, Chairman Dahal said, "Our first priority is to win the elections on our own strength. But, if there is a possibility of forging an electoral alliance then the coalition will be given the priority."

Hinting at the faction led by Shekhar Koirala of Nepali Congress, he claimed that the top-notch leaders of the coalition are for forging an electoral alliance though there are differing views within the party.

Chairman Dahal further said that preparations are underway to incorporate Nepali Congress in the Sudurpaschim Province.
