Chitwan, March 21
Naya Shakti Party coordinator Baburam Bhattarai has ruled out the possibility of a merger between his party and the Maoist Centre.
Speaking at a programme organised by Province No 3 and 4 in Bharatpur on Wednesday, the former Prime Minister said that the party would choose to either support or oppose the government on the basis of its activities,
He said, “We will support the activities of the government if it is in favour of the nation and the people and protest those carried out against the people and nation.”
He argued that it was not necessary to garner three-fourths majority, and having two-thirds would suffice.
Bhattarai said, “There should be the ruling and opposition parties in democracy. The ruling side will implement its policy and programme without restraint if there isn’t any opposition.”
