UML fighting against anti-development elements

CPN (UML) Chairman KP Sharma Oli has said that his party's fight is always against reactionaries and anti-development elements.

Claiming that the development efforts have halted after the UML-led government was toppled, Oli argued all development projects initiated by the UML-led government are in limbo.

Inaugurating the first convention of the CPN (UML) Lumbini province committee on Saturday in Butwal, Oli stated that UML will lead the campaign of good-governance and prosperity.

On the occasion, he asked the party leaders in Lumbini province committee to forge consensus for leadership selection and opt for democratic process if consensus was not made.

Likewise, Oli cautioned the leaders not to aggravate the party disputes on the surface in Lumbini.

Likewise, UML vice-chairman Bishnu Prasad Poudel said that there was no dispute in the UML on its policy and leadership.

He added that efforts are ongoing to weaken the party by highlighting the disputes of the party but that will never come to fruition.

Likewise, UML general secretary Shankar Pokharel said that the UML is the party exercising the highest level of internal democracy.

Others speaking at the event were party's deputy general secretary Pradip Gyawali, secretary Gokarna Bista and other leaders.

A total of 1,400 representatives from 12 districts of the province are present in the convention.
