Kathmandu, March 7:

In its first election campaign, Nepali Congress candidates from all 15 constituencies

of the Kathmandu Valley vowed to endow the people with a democratic constitution in exchange of their votes on April 10.

NC vice president Prakash Man Singh, who is contesting from Kathmandu constituency-1, told an election rally in New Baneshwor that the people had the choice to decide between a democratic and an undemocratic one.

Singh is contesting against UML’s Pradeep Nepal and Maoist’s Dr Ram Man Shrestha on April 10 Constituent Assembly polls.

Singh, the son of the supreme commander of the 1990 People’s Movement I, Ganesh Man Singh, joined other party candidates to stress on a peaceful transformation from instability to transform the nation into a stable new Nepal to respect the dreams and sacrifices of the martyrs.

In the election campaign mass meeting organised by the NC student’s wing — the Nepal Students’ Union — Suprabha Ghimire contesting from Kathmandu constituency no 4 against UML’s Bidhya Bhandari and Maoist’s Pawan Man Shrestha, warned the people to be aware of totalitarianism saying that such parties with a totalitarian ideology will only offer an undemocratic constitution.

Youth leader Gagan Thapa aroused the mass with his speech by coming down heavily on Maoist Chairman Prachanda for portraying himself as Nepal’s future president and UML’s general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal for failing to keep his words.

Saying that there will be no room for monarchy in the new Nepal, not even the remnants of autocracy, Thapa said, people, in no way, will tolerate any form of autocracy or dictatorial system of governance in new Nepal.

Candidate of the Kathmandu constituency no 5, Narahari Acharya, contesting with UML’s Ishwor Pokhrel, Maoist’s Bipindra Maharjan, and Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal’s Kamal Thapa, urged people not to misunderstand that republicanism means totalitarianism.

“Be assured, there will be no place for totalitarianism,” Narahari Acharya said.
