KATHMANDU: CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has called upon all to unite and counter those forces working to subvert the agendas of transformation and weaken the constitution. The anti-change forces are going against the aspirations of people, he argued.

The Maoist Centre Chairperson said conspiracies were hatched in the past to hinder the implementation of the agendas of transformation established through people’s struggle and all should counter it because such trend still continues.

Welcoming UML leader Madhav Pandey and others from Nuwakot district into Maoist Centre on Friday, Prachanda underscored the need for a massive struggle to those working to revert achievements, including the federal democratic republic.

On the occasion, he said the Maoist Centre party was established as a leading force for the cause of the nation’s economic development and prosperity. Madhesi, Tharu, indigenous, nationalities and all communities’ identity and rights are established due to Maoist and this was the basis for seeking votes for the Maoist party in the election, according to him.

Meanwhile, a meeting of the Maoist Centre’s former standing committee members and province in-charges held at party’s central office discussed the ongoing efforts on electoral alliance in the local level poll.

During the meeting, discussions were held to centralize party’s entire force for the election to secure more strength in the poll, party’s Spokesperson Krishna Bahadur Mahara said.

As decided, the party would make a standard to give due roles to the leaders joining the Maoist Centre by quitting other political parties, recognizing their background and contributions.

UML Chair Oli calls for developing Ghalegaon as modern village

Former Prime Minister and CPN (UML) Chairperson KP Sharma Oli has stressed the need for developing Ghalegaon, a touristic village at Kwalosothar Rural Municipality-3 in the district, as a modern and smart village.

“Ghalegaon has not only been developed in a new way but it has also become exemplary to others. There is a need to learn from it,” he said amid a function here Friday.

On the occasion, Chair of the rural municipality Prem Bahadur Ghale said that residents of the village were living happily life because it had access to all sorts of facilities like road, electricity, telephone, internet, drinking water, toilet, school and health.

Situated 2,100 meters above the sea level, the village has 130 households. Each house has corrugated zinc roofing. The home stay facility had started some 22 years ago with Ghalegaon festival- the first in the country. The number of such facilities has reached 42 now.

The Village Tourism Forum has also honoured the village with the title of Nepal’s best home stay facility. Similarly, for two times, the village has been declared as a model village of the South Asia.

Each home stay facility has fetched Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000 per month in income.
