By Chandra Pandak, Taplejung, Nov. 16: CPN (Maoist Center) chairman and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said the victory of the coalition is necessary for stability and development in the country.

“We will focus on Tamor corridor and other necessary infrastructure for tourism promotion of the district as well,” he said.

Leader Prachanda argued that the coalition has been formed to lead the country to development and prosperity while safeguarding nationality, constitution, and achievements made so far.

The ruling coalition has fielded Khel Prasad Budachetri as the common candidate for the election to the member of the House of Representatives slated for November 20.

“If Budachhetri wins, it will be my responsibility to make a cabinet minister so as to usher in development works here,” he said.  

He urged the people to for the coalition candidates so that the naming of province 1 can be accomplished as the Kirant Pradesh.

On the occasion, he lambasted that CPN (UML) Chair KP Sharma Oli has no ethical right to reach out to the people asking for a vote as he had dissolved the parliament two times before its expiry. “Why should people vote for him, to dissolve the parliament in the middle of it?” he questioned.
