KATHMANDU, OCTOBER 21

Prime Minister and Nepali Congress (NC) president Sher Bahadur Deuba asserted that the current coalition was the national need.

Inaugurating the provincial level assembly of the party cadres organized by the five-party coalition Gandaki Province Committee Pokhara today, PM Deuba clarified that the current coalition meant for protection of constitution, stability and prosperity in the country.

'Inclusion of all contributes to national unity. Nation becomes strong because of national unity. It is a system where there is representation of all,' Deuba said, expressing his confidence that the upcoming elections would protect constitution and promote stability and inclusiveness.

He viewed that it was necessary for the coalition to secure victory in the upcoming election. The House of Representatives and Provincial Assembly elections are slated on November 20 this year.

Stating that no suspicion should be raised regarding coalition under any pretext, he underscored that there should not be any work by anyone that would stem bitterness in speech and behavior.

Furthermore, Deuba revealed that the political parties had to consider entering electoral alliance since there was no possibility for any political party at present to securing a majority.

The PM viewed that by keeping up with the coalition would create opportunities for all.

He urged all the contenders in the upcoming election to go for the poll regardless of who got the ticket to contest and who did not. He assured that if the current coalition secures victory in the upcoming election, it would create various opportunities.
