Hopes for current government increased: Sapkota

By A Staff Reporter, Kathmandu, Aug. 22: Former Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) Agni Prasad Sapkota 'Kanchan' has said that people's hopes for the Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' led government have increased these days.

He expressed this opinion at the Kirtipur municipality-level meeting on the issue of 'Maoist's special transformation campaign with the people' held here.

He emphasized that the people were excited because the 'Prachanda' led government had started good works one after another as per the verdict of the people.

"The government has been doing a lot of good works, if we can win the hearts of the people, the achievements of all the movements can be institutionalised," he added.

He said that it is necessary to promote the mechanisation, modernisation, industrialisation and marketing of agriculture while moving forward for development, prosperity, good governance, and social justice for new Nepal.

He cautioned that while the government has started good work against corruption in Nepal, the ‘Cold War’ is being intensively waged by invisible forces, he indicated that various types of non-national storms may come in the coming days.

Stating that there are various kinds of conspiracies against the government and the party, he held the view that they should stand on their own to fight for nationalism.

Likewise, he emphasized the need to make full use of current information technology and social media to strengthen the campaign in a peaceful manner, unlike in the people's war fought in the past during 1996-2006 AD.

He has proposed Kirtipur as the glorious city of Nepal having truly nationalist people with their remarkable rebellious thoughts.

During the meeting, 10 ward committee presidents reported about their party activities and demanded a new type of party line too.
