Baidya-led Alliance To Foil CA Polls

  1 min 32 sec to read

--By TC Correspondent 
 
Sensing that the CPN-Maoist was considering the Round-Table-Conference (RTC) as a tactic to subvert the election process, the High Level Political Committee (HLPC) ruled out convening such a conference. 
 
The HLPC took this decision last Saturday following a meeting with the CPN-Maoist-led 33-party alliance. The dissident alliance remained adamant on its stance that the RTC should be called and put forth a five-point demand calling for the cancellation of the Constituent Assembly polls, the dissolution of the Khil Raj Regmi-led government and the dissolution of the HLPC. 
 
Earlier last Thursday, the HLPC had agreed to hold a RTC to bring the poll-opposing parties on board for the election process.
 
Leaders of the HLPC said they would now move ahead with the election process. Speaking with the media after a meeting with the alliance, CPN (UML) Chairperson Jhalanath Khanal said the RTC will not be held now and that the election would be held on the scheduled date. Likewise, UCPN (Maoist) leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha said the CPN-Maoist wanted to decide everything including the fate of the election through the RTC. “Meeting their demand means making the election uncertain when they are not serious about the CA polls themselves.”
 
CPN-Maoist Secretary Dev Gurung also informed the media that the dialogue with the HLPC has ended and added that they would now hit the streets and foil the government’s attempt to hold election.
 
As this scribe went to press, leaders of the 33-party alliance said they were chalking out a strategy and protest programmes to foil the election scheduled for November 19.
