CPN MC chair Dahal says he would contest the parliamentary election all by himself

CHITWAN: CPN Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal today stated that he may not consider entering political alliance to emerge victorious in the upcoming election from Constituency 3 in Chitwan district.

Speaking at a press conference organised by Press Centre Chitwan today, leader Dahal reiterated that he was not considering entering alliance to contest an election from constituency no 3 of Chitwan district in the upcoming election to the House of Representatives.

When asked if he would stand any chance to emerge victorious in the election solely, Dahal replied, "I am confident that there is a high possibility of my win in the election if even I contest all by myself."

CPN MC was ranked third in the constituency in the last local level election.

The former Prime Minister, however, said that talks were going on with other political parties for forging political alliance in view of the twin elections at hand but now they have not reached any conclusions yet.

According to Dahal, the party had made a decision at policy level to enter into electoral alliance only with those who would subscribe to the ideology of Federal Democratic and Republican ideology.

Dahal believed that people were in favor of CPN MC although his party was mired in criticism for Bandarmudhe incident in Chitwan.

He is contesting the upcoming election from the same area where Dahal-led the then CPN-Moist was blamed for a bomb blast in a bus in Bandarmudhe in Chitwan district in 2005 where around five dozens of people died.

The victims and families of the deceased are hopeful that they would receive compensation by the new leadership they help elect.

Dahal is lately busy with electoral campaign in Chitwan.
