KP Sharma Oli Frames Upcoming Election as a Battle Between Nation-Building and Nation-Destroying Forces

Jhapa. CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has characterized the upcoming election as a battle between forces that build the nation and forces that burn it down. Addressing an election rally in Jhapa, he asserted that the UML must win for the sake of the country's sovereignty, development, and prosperity.

Recalling the contributions of his old political comrades, including Honorable Haribansha Siwakoti and Dr. KR Khambu, along with other veteran leaders, Oli stated that the UML has been continuously involved in movements for 50-60 years and that the nation's future is secure only with this party.

Opposition to Attempts to Disrupt the Election

Chairman Oli objected to ongoing attempts to stop and disrupt the election. "Attempts are still being made to stop the election, but we will move forward without distraction in preparation for victory," he said. Accusing opposition parties of trying to spoil the election environment by burning UML flags and engaging in undesirable activities, he stated that insulting the flag is a crime against the election.

Highlighting Achievements of the UML Government

Presenting a list of achievements made under his leadership, Oli claimed that the UML is the only party entitled to win elections. He recalled the construction of the Postal Highway, raising the senior citizen allowance to 4,000 rupees, an increase in the literacy rate, and the simultaneous foundation stone laying for 396 basic hospitals.

Responding to attacks against him, Chairman Oli stated that he is being targeted because he loves the country and does not engage in corruption. He asserted that he stands as a shield against elements trying to divide Nepal in the name of caste, religion, and geography. His declaration was that the UML is nobody's puppet and will not allow even an inch of the country's land to be compromised.

Welcoming youths who joined the UML at the program, Oli also urged those who had left the party to return.
