Gorakha, May 27: Chairman of the CPN (Maoist Centre) Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said political consensus is necessary for the construction of the Budhigandaki Hydropower Project, a national pride project.
He said so while inaugurating the building of the Sahid Lakhan Rural Municipality in Gorakha today.
Stating that the project will be constructed under any circumstances, he mentioned that the delay in construction is due to the confusion over the ‘modalities’ of the hydropower project and resource management.
While recounting the efforts made for the construction of the Budhigandaki project during his tenure as Prime Minister, he said, “There is a lot of suffering among the people due to the delay in the construction of the Budhigandaki project. We are constantly making efforts and initiatives for the construction of this project.”
After the federal governance system was implemented, the buildings of the municipalities have become well-equipped, so the services that the people receive should also be results-oriented, the former Prime Minister emphasized on the occasion.
He pointed out the need for all the pro-republican parties to unite and move forward, stating that there is an ongoing attempt to question the federal democratic republic. Chairman Dahal suggested that the State should carry out its works keeping economic development, social justice, and good governance at the centre.
Meanwhile, addressing a programme in Chitwan this afternoon, he emphasized that all republican forces must unite for the protection of the republic and the constitution. Maoist Chair Dahal stressed that efforts should be made at the State level to stop the youth from migrating abroad.
