Gorkha : Former Prime Minister and Chairperson of Nepal Socialist Party, Dr Baburam Bhattarai, has said the alliance with Nepali Congress was not only for election but for country’s prosperity.
Leader Bhattarai said it while addressing a joint gathering of the cadres of left-democratic alliance in Gorkha on Saturday. He reminded, “We came together against regression. It was imperative in deed.”
He further said without collaboration between leftist and Nepali Congress, country would not see durable peace, and absence of durable peace results in elusive national unity. National unity is essential for country’s development and prosperity, Dr Bhattarai argued.
The former prime minister also stated that collaboration with NC had long term significance. “Don’t regard it only as an electoral alliance,” he urged the participants, adding that it is the holiest alliance for country’s development.
“It was the matter that I could not get election ticket from Gorkha. Actually, I was willing to hand over the election ticket which I became successful to,” the former prime minister stressed.
He also asserted that leader Prachanda had come to Gorkha to make a history.
