Oli Stresses Political Stability and Major Party Cooperation for National Prosperity Ahead of Elections

Kathmandu. CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has put forth political stability and cooperation among major parties as essential prerequisites for the nation's prosperity. Presenting the party's stance regarding the upcoming House of Representatives elections, he termed the incident of Bhadra 24 as a planned attack on Nepal's national existence and sovereignty. 

Accusing criminal elements of committing crimes against the nation under the guise of a 'new force,' Oli urged voters to recognize such forces in time. Oli interpreted the recent cooperation among major parties as an honest attempt to end political instability. 

He claimed that the alliance of major parties is not a cause for crisis but rather a step taken to halt the cycle of instability. He asserted that the events of Bhadra 23 and 24 were orchestrated with the objective of attacking the system from the streets after failing to topple a stable government through constitutional means. Stating that newly emerged figures have already demonstrated their capabilities at the local and federal levels, Oli maintained that the UML's 'track record' for good governance and development has been proven.

The UML Chairman announced that his party's government, formed after the elections, will advance 11 priority tasks with specified deadlines starting from the first cabinet meeting. He informed that 25 policy pillars aimed at achieving the goal of 'Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali' have been incorporated into the manifesto. Specifically, he pledged that the UML would take responsibility for the immediate reconstruction of structures damaged during the August agitation, including Singha Durbar, the courts, and the Parliament building, and for boosting the diminished morale of the private sector.

Calling the discussions surrounding generational transition and intergenerational conflict a delusion, Oli argued that the nation can only be built through a confluence of the energy of the youth and the wisdom of the experienced. Comparing the youth to 'fire' and experience to 'light,' he stated that fire requires direction and light requires energy. 

He claimed this election is not merely about changing generations but is a 'referendum between building and destroying the nation.' He appealed to the general public to vote with the sentiment of 'nation first' for the defense of national self-respect and the constitution.
