CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has remarked that the unification process between his party and CPN-UML has reached a point of no return.

Speaking at a programme in Chitwan on Sunday, Dahal said there were misleading and imaginary rumours in the media about the unification bid. "I and Oli ji have wiped out every links that would take us back from the unification bid. The party unification has been seriously moving ahead with a target to conclude it," said Dahal.

Dahal claimed that attempts were made to create frictions in the merger between the two leftist forces. "These sorts of tendencies are common in our kind of class society. But we will eventually defeat them," he added. He said it is ridiculous to attempt to spoil the unification and the Nepali society had endorsed the merger between the two parties.

Dahal said the three major parties had agreed to conduct national assembly election through majority process but Nepali Congress back-tracked after Maoist Center and CPN-UML won in more places in the first phase of local level elections.

He said that it would not be appropriate to adopt majoritarian voting system that would leave the NC with no seats in the National Assembly (NA), which is why he said, he has been holding discussion with UML Chairman Oli on finding a middle-path to end the deadlock.
