New coalition for economic development: Chair Oli

CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has said the new coalition was for giving a boost to the national economy that has been dented for some time.

He made it clear that the UML was forming a new government with NC as a ruling partner so that the national economy could be revived.

During his address to the Parliamentary Party meeting held at Parliament building, New Baneshwor on Sunday, Chairman Oli argued it is a national need to intensify development works, for which coalition government with NC was required.

Also the former Prime Minister, Chairman Oli reminded that the UML had worked together with the NC as the country faced crises. The UML was involved in the historic revolutions of 2046 BS and 2062/63BS together with NC.

On the occasion, chief whip Mahesh Bartaula shared that the party had reminded Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal not to make any decision of long-term importance because he was already in a minority government.

Similarly, he called on PM Dahal to pave the way for the formation of a national government by stepping down at the earliest.

The PM is scheduled to face a floor test on July 12.
