SPP will be scrapped: Maoist Centre Chair Dahal

CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said the State Partnership Program (SPP) would be rescinded.

Talking to journalists in Chitwan on Friday, Dahal said that the SPP would not be passed by issuing a 12-point interpretative declaration like Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).

 "We endorsed the MCC only by issuing a 12-point interpretative declaration. But there will be no such practice in regard with the SPP. It will be repealed, instead,” the leader added.

Dahal claimed that both the MCC and the SPP were introduced during the then KP Sharma Oli-led government.

Responding to the queries of mediapersons, he clarified that there will be no change in the alliance immediately.
