Revolutionary Communist Party Nepal Slams Parties for False Promises Amidst Price Hikes and Scarcity

Kathmandu. The Revolutionary Communist Party Nepal has expressed strong objection to the false assurances being given to the public during the parliamentary election campaign. Issuing a press release on Tuesday, the party's spokesperson, Sudarshan, stated that while parliamentarian parties are campaigning door-to-door in the name of elections, the public's burden is being increased by creating an artificial scarcity of daily essential goods.

The statement noted that the price hike of petroleum products, the shortage of cooking gas, and the rise of black marketing amidst the election fanfare are extremely serious issues. The party has demanded that the state immediately identify elements creating artificial scarcity of gas and other essential items and take strict action against them.

The party has pressured the government to intensify market monitoring to eliminate black marketing and make essential goods easily accessible to the general public. Spokesperson Sudarshan particularly emphasized that the price hike of petroleum products, which is the main source of inflation, must be rolled back. The party announced that it would keep a close watch on the situation, alleging that businesses and political parties are colluding to harass the public during the election atmosphere.

Through the press release, the Revolutionary Communist Party also made a special appeal to the concerned bodies, political parties, and businesspersons to be responsible and accountable. The party warned that if the basic needs of the people are tampered with, they will not remain silent and will launch protest programs against inflation.

Warning that public outrage against the current state power will increase if the disorder and black marketing prevalent in the market are not controlled, the party drew the government's attention to take pro-people measures.
