CPN-UML Chairman Oli Claims Party Stands for the Poor, Vows Action on Laborer Issues Post-Election

Jhapa. CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has claimed that his party has always stood for the welfare of the poor, destitute, and laboring class. Addressing a gathering of city rickshaw drivers in Damak, Jhapa, Chairman Oli stated that the situation of famine in Nepal has almost ended, and the next goal is the complete eradication of poverty.

Addressing the program, Chairman Oli mentioned that the main priority of UML is the destitute, squatters, and small business laborers. He claimed that famine has ended in the country due to the government policy of 'No one goes hungry, no one dies of hunger.' While admitting that poverty remains a challenge, he expressed commitment to uprooting it completely through various measures and programs.

Former Prime Minister Oli highlighted the importance of social security programs like health insurance initiated during his tenure. Stating that the provision of up to NPR 100,000 in treatment for NPR 3,500 was made possible by the people's taxes, he clarified that the government collects resources from the people and spends them for the benefit of the people.

He also asserted that the UML-led government has succeeded in making people feel and experience development.

Targeting the upcoming elections, he stated that more concrete steps would be taken after the elections to solve the problems of the laborers. Oli assured that the problems of the city rickshaw drivers have reached him, requested them to document them, and promised that solutions would be sought immediately following the election results.
