Royalist group has already become lackluster: Chairman Prachanda

By Bhuvan Karki, Rupandehi, April 17: Chairman of CPN (Maoist Center) Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'  has remarked that the royalist group has become lackluster.

Addressing a press conference organized by Press Center Nepal Rupandehi in Bhairahawa, Rupandehi on Thursday, Chairman Prachanda said that supporters of the royalists became lackluster from the very program organized by them on March 28.

He argued that the program organized by the republican forces on March 28 had contradicted them, in such a way that royalist supporters have been knocked down. Similarly, he said that the government should not delay the appointment of the governor.

Stating that vested interests are playing a role in the appointment of governors, he suggested that the government take the initiative to resolve the serious problems that have emerged in the economy by appointing governors based on meritocracy.

He further expressed concern that the CPN (UML) and the Nepali Congress had brought the issue of constitution amendment during the formation of the government, but failed to proceed ahead with it.

"The constitution amendment is necessary for stability and it should be reviewed and amended within 10 years," he said, adding that the constitution amendment is not to restrict the rights of the people but to enhance their rights.

Stating that his party has no interest in toppling down the government, he said the awareness campaign has been launched to establish the rights of the people and to understand the sufferings and even to defeat all kinds of efforts launched against the republican system in the name of restoration of monarchy or any others.
