No constitution if UCPN (M) fails to garner 2/3rd majority:Baburam Bhattarai
NAWALPARASI, OCT 23 -
UCPN (Maoist) leader Baburam Bhattarai has said that promulgation of new constitution was not possible if the party fails to garner 2/3rd majority in the upcoming Constituent Assembly (CA) election.
He claimed that the UCPN (M) failed to draft constitution from the previous CA as the authoritarian powers--Nepali Congress and CPN-UML-- tried to revive the constitution of 2046 B.S.
He reiterated that the constitution will not be drafted and the nation will plunge into crisis till the UCPN (M) wins the election with new agendas.
Addressing an election assembly organised by the party at Kawasoti on Wednesday, Bhattarai claimed that the party has been making efforts to establish the rights of indigenous , Madhesis, Dalits and marginalized people.
Urging the locals to cast 2/3rd votes to his party, Bhattarai opined that one should not cast vote to older parties on the basis of relation.
"Our agendas are new, other parties even do not have one, so, constitution will be drafted if new agendas are given votes," Bhattarai said.
Also on the occasion, Bhattarai announced to provide Rs 2000 monthly pension to the elderly above 65 years of age and added that the decision has been included in party's manifesto.
He also said that the party would prioratise the issues of embankment in Narayani River and Kali Gandaki corridor (road stretching from Gaidakot to Pokhara) in the national priority list if his party garners majority in the CA election .
