Maoist should be transformed first for country's transformation: Chairman Dahal

Chairperson of the CPN (Maoist Centre) and Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said the basis for the county's transformation could be prepared only by transforming the Maoist party.

Addressing a programme organised by the Valley Special Province Committee of the CPN (Maoist Centre) today, Chairman Dahal mentioned that transformation of Maoist was a mandatory condition.

He shared, "A campaign with a new determination of the country's transformation has been initiated. We will move ahead further accelerating it. Transformation of the CPN (Maoist Centre) is mandatory for the same."

Stating that the government has forwarded a campaign of good governance with determination, Chairman Dahal clarified that the campaign would not be stopped.

"The government will take action against all involved in illegal and criminal activities like the fake Bhutanese refugee scam, the gold smuggling and corruption. It will not be stopped. We will move ahead with strong determination," viewed the Maoist Centre Chairperson.

He pointed out the need of qualitative development for the country's prosperity, stressing the need of changing the model of development.

"The traditional development model cannot guide prosperity. There is a need for qualitative transformation in this. We cannot always carry with us the failed development model. We will move ahead with a new economic policy and plan by the time of the next budget," he said.

PM and party chairman Dahal shared that the government has taken various steps in the interest of the country and the people, and the people will be soon able to reap benefits out of it.

"Some sections are nervous about the level of success the present government has achieved in diplomacy. The agreement related to 10,000 MW electricity trade in 10 years is not a small thing. Explain these achievements to the people," he further added.

Valley Special Province in-charge Barshaman Pun said forging ahead in works of party transformation by systematizing the works of the government and the party is the present need.

Stating that although there might be differences and criticisms within the party, that should not be the reason for 'groupism politics', he warned of disciplinary action against those involved in groupism. "Now on, the party will function as a party and the organization in the form of organization," he reiterated.
