CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that everyone should take the blame if the country fails to provide momentum to development works and prosperity.

“Monarchy and autocracy were blamed in the past, but that can’t be done anymore,” he said, adding, “If we cannot give momentum to development works even now, it will not just be a failure on the part of political leadership but the entire country including the politics will be unsuccessful.” 

Speaking at the inauguration of the Ninth Convention of Chitwan Industry Association here in his home town on Friday, the former prime minister said that king and various powers were blamed for the failure to develop the country in the past. He said that it will be a collective failure of the country. 

The Maoist supreme opined that the building of “new Nepal” can be done by reaping benefits from the development of two neighbours China and India.

“With the end of political era, the country has entered into economic age,” said Chairman Dahal. “We have to prove the people that the country ushered into the new area with the hard works of five years,” he added.

Saying that Chitwan has the potential to the central and provincial capital, Dahal asserted that Chitwan will be developed as the economic capital of the country and no one can stop it from happening.
