CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said the decision to forge an electoral alliance among the five-party alliance in the upcoming local level elections rests on the Nepali Congress.

Talking to media at Janakpur Airport on Tuesday, Dahal said, “So far the five-party alliance have no differing issues and proposals are tabled for forging the electoral alliance, but the final decision is in the hands of Nepali Congress.” 

 He was here to address the Province-level political orientation of the party.

According to him, the party wished to continue with the existing alliance till the elections, but NC’s role is vital in determining the future course.

 “If NC declines the idea of electoral alliance, we will face the elections on our own strength.”

He further said that discussions are underway among the government coalition partners to reshuffle the Council of Ministers. But the formal decision is awaited, the leader said, hinting at the possibility of the entry of some new faces as well.  

Chairman Dahal said that the next session of the House of Representatives is expected to endorse the citizenship bill and the bill to operate railway service. RSS
