CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has remarked that the unification and electoral alliance between the communist parties are not against Nepali Congress (NC).

At a programme organised to announce the electoral alliance between the parties in the upcoming Parliamentary elections and subsequent unification of the parties in Kathmandu on Tuesday, Dahal said that the merger process was initiated for national interests. He said his overdue dream of forming a single communist party after the beginning of peace process is now turning into reality.

“It’s strange in politics, sometimes the things that are deemed possible doesn’t happen, and other times the things that are believed to be impossible happen,” said Dahal, “This was the result of historical demand.”

Dahal said that though the unification is only between the communist forces, the parties are open to forge electoral alliance with other democratic forces.

Saying that the new constitution has imagined a politically stable state progressing towards socialism, Dahal said that the unification of communist forces have created the foundation for socialism.

“We are motivated by an objective to give a message to the world by forming a new model of socialism,” said Dahal.

He said that the determination to implement the new constitution based on national consensus couldn’t be realised after its promulgation.  “The plan couldn’t materialise after the then Prime Minister Sushil Koirala decided to again run the Prime Ministerial election,” said Dahal.
