The seven-party alliance held its first joint rally, which is expected to jumpstart their electoral campaign for the Constituent Assembly elections, at the Open Air Theatre at Ratnapark in the capital Monday afternoon.
Nepali Congress senior leader Sher Bahadur Deuba, UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, Maoist Chairman Prachanda along with top leaders of the SPA addressed their joint electoral campaign.
Congress President and Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala could not attend the mass meeting due to his health condition. Yesterday, doctors have advised the ailing octogenarian leader to take complete rest for a few days.
Addressing the joint assembly, the top SPA leaders said that the joint assembly was a “commitment assembly” to show the Nepali people and the world at large that they are serious and want to the go to the CA elections this time around.
They added that parties and the people from all regions must stand united for the elections as elements opposed to democracy were still plotting against the critical vote.
UML General Secretary Nepal said that a truly inclusive democracy can be established only by uprooting feudalism, and for that there is no alternative to go to the elections in a collective manner.
He also urged all the parties to vow to religiously adhere to all the agreements among them and not to resort to any blame game that could thwart the elections.
Maoist Chairman Prachanda said that the joint assembly was a commitment to make a new federal republican Nepal through the CA elections and a challenge to all those opposed to the progressive chance in the country.
Referring to his last year’s proposal to hold the joint assembly of the seven parties across the country, especially in the Terai, Prachanda said that had the other parties accepted the proposal then much of the prevailing crises could have been averted.
Only the royalists, feudal and foreign reactionary, disintegrating forces, and imperial forces could be opposed to the CA elections,” he said
