Senior leader of the CPN (Maoist Center) Narayan Kaji Shrestha has said the people's mandate which the left parties have received from across the country through the elections was in favor of party unification.
Talking to journalists after arriving here Monday, Shrestha said," There is also the message for the unification of the left parties within the people's mandate the left alliance received through the elections. Declaring party unity at the earliest and becoming a united party is our commitment." He arrived in Gorkha today for a review of the elections following his defeat in Gorkha constituency -2.
Stating that it would be better if the party unification is carried out before the government formation, Shrestha believed that the government run by a united party would be a stable government and so it can work for the country's prosperity.
He said the Maoist party was not the choice of the people of Gorkha constituency-2 this time and that he takes the election results as normal and obvious. "Although I did not win the election, the 'Prosperous Gorkha and Happy Gorkhalis' campaign would be continued," he said.
Cautioning against dishonoring and neglecting the people's mandate, and interrupting the process of government formation in any manner, Shrestha reiterated that the left alliance has got the people's mandate through the election for going for the party unification at any cost. He added that the people's mandate to the Nepali Congress is to remain in the opposition for five years.
