KATHMANDU: The agitating 33 political parties led by the CPN Maoist has decided to opt for offensive from Tuesday to make its ongoing anti-Constituent Assembly member elections campaign effective.

A meeting of the alliance members in the capital on Monday decided to launch semi-covert operations and to even give arrests in doing so.

Chairman of Bahujatiya Samabesi Party, Shankar Thapa said that leaders have decided to underground after concluding that the government was preparing to arrest leaders affiliated to the alliance.

Similarly the alliance has decided to organize mass rallies across the nation to understand the public sentiment and to mobilize them against the CA elections.

The alliance has concluded to break through all restricted areas and zones during the election time and stage protests.

The meeting concluded that the government has presented itself in a regressive form and concluded to foil the CA elections at any cost.

KATHMANDU: UCPN (Maoist) Spokesperson Agni Prasad Sapkota has said that no political party or group would be against the Constituent Assembly election slated to be held on November 19 this year.

At a regular press meet organized at the party central office at Parisdanda here today, Sapkota said that an understanding has already been reached with the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum and the associated front and most of the demands raised by the Federal Socialist Party have been addressed by that understanding.

He said the CPN-Maoist that is opposed to the election process would also gradually join in the election process. “The High Level Political Committee has proceeded talks with them in a serious manner, hence, the country has moved forward on the process to the Constituent Assembly election,” he said.

The UCPN (Maoist) spokesperson said that the election has been guaranteed as the proportional representation has been increased and provisions have been made for the equal representation of women and the indigenous nationalities through the agreement reached with the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum and its allied front.

He refuted the rumours that the election date would be postponed, saying from whichever side this originated the topic was unacceptable.

Stating that the UCPN (Maoist) has geared up for the elections nationwide with the aim of making it successful, he said this election campaign started buy the party has given out a positive message and the people are committed to participating in the election.

KATHMANDU: Amid ruroms that the CA election will be postponed to April 2014, the UCPN (Maoist) has said that no such agreement has been made so far to conduct the election in April 2014.

In a regular weekly press meet, UCPN (Maoist) Spokesperson Agni Prasad Sapkota said that the parties have not agreed to hold the election later in April next year.

He said there was no option to holding the CA election in November and warned that the poll would be disturbed if it was deferred.

He reiterated that a round table conference would be organized and the cabinet would be reconstituted to bring the agitating political parties on board the election.

He was of the view that relevance of the government would collapse if the CA election was not held in the slated timeframe.

In a separate context, Sapkota said that party’s all disputed issues would be resolved through the extended meeting scheduled for July 19.

The UCPN (Maoist) spokesperson added that Baburam Bhattarai’s decision to ‘sacrifice’ the post of Vice-chairman was inappropriate.

KATHMANDU: UCPN (Maoist) spokesperson has said that the issue of representation would matter even in the current interim election council. “The cabinet will be inclusive based on geography and ethnic lines,” he said at a regular meet the press program organized at the party headquarters on Saturday.

The UCPN (Maoist) leader also said that the current CJ-headed government would work only in the suggestions of the top leaders of the major political parties. “There will be only four leaders (signatories of the 11-point agreement) in the high-level political mechanism,” Sapkota, a trusted lieutenant of Maoist supremo Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda”, revealed.

New minisers would be appointed based on political parties’ suggestions and recommendations, he added.

Spokesman Agni Sapkota while referring to the recent increase of confrontation between opposition and ruling parties over an array of issues, expressed such dismal hopes.

Speaking at a program here, Sapkota ruled out any resolution in the near future owing to the confrontation which he claimed was escalated by the opposition.

He however expressed hope for stability only after the ongoing confrontation between political parties for dominance subsides and after what he called that UCPN Maoist prevailed in the ongoing tug of war between parties.
