KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 10 The Nepali Communist Party (NCP), which was established by uniting 22 distinct communist and socialist elements, has released its comprehensive letter of commitment for the March 5 House of Representatives elections. Pushpa Kamal Dahal, party coordinator, made the party's commitment to the upcoming elections public today at a programme held at the party office in Parisdanda. The party, which entered the election with the 'Star' symbol, has presented a roadmap for building an independent and prosperous Nepal, with the main slogans 'Good governance and employment, preparation for socialism' and 'Protecting nationalism and democracy is our responsibility'. The party has proposed comprehensive reforms to the current electoral system, which it considers costly and prone to corruption. The commitment letter states, 'The governance structure and electoral system will be revised in accordance with the spirit of the Gen Z generation and the needs of the country.' A plan has been proposed to form a small cabinet, limit MPs to legislative roles and distribute powers in accordance with the spirit of federalism. Making good governance its primary starting point, the party has pledged to establish a 'High-Level Asset Investigation Commission' with a one-year deadline to investigate the assets of all public officials. It has been claimed that it will nationalise corrupt assets and create a powerful 'caretaker' by integrating the Commission for the Investigation of the Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and intelligence and transform government services into 'faceless and paperless' ones through digital administration. To maintain good governance, a powerful commission will be formed to investigate the assets of all individuals who have held public office since 1990, and a commitment has been made to a 'zero tolerance' for corruption. It also states that necessary laws will be drafted within a year to ensure the effective implementation of federalism and that 60 per cent of the budget will be allocated to the provincial and local levels. The party has set an ambitious goal of achieving double-digit economic growth (more than 10 per cent) over the next five years. It intends to reduce multidimensional poverty from its current 20.15 per cent to five per cent. A plan has been put in place to generate 500,000 jobs annually, attract foreign investment to productive sectors, and transform 100,000 youths who have returned to the country into entrepreneurs. A plan to boost homegrown industries by cutting production costs and minimising the trade deficit has also been laid out. Declaring the coming decade as the 'Agricultural Investment Decade', a plan has been proposed to achieve self-sufficiency in major food grains within two years. Farmer pensions, advance declaration of support prices and agricultural insurance are all guaranteed as part of the 'Hunger-Free Nepal' resolution. The commitment letter also states that Nepal will be declared squatter-free within two years after distributing land deeds to landless Dalits and squatters. The party has announced a policy of providing health services completely free of charge and as a fundamental right. By 2031, there is a plan to provide health insurance coverage to all citizens and community-based treatment for non-communicable diseases. In education, 'One Municipality, One Smart School' and a merit-based appointment system will be implemented in universities to eliminate political divisions. Considering sports as the foundation for prosperity, a commitment has been made to double player prize money and build a 50,000-capacity national stadium. The manifesto has also specified the goal to generate 15,000 megawatts of electricity over the next five years, while increasing per capita consumption to 750 kilowatt hours. Within the next five years, the East-West Highway will be expanded to four lanes, and the Kathmandu metro rail and Nijgadh International Airport will be completed. It is stated that Nepal will become a wedding destination and hill station destination by promoting 'smart tourism' and eco-tourism in the tourism sector. The commitment letter states that border disputes such as Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura will be resolved through diplomatic negotiations, with national interests taking precedence, thereby strengthening non-alignment in foreign policy. The Political Stability and Governance Reforms Declaration proposes a radical shift in governance to end political instability.
