Dang, February 5
Members of the Left Alliance should focus on ideology and not on which party gets what share of the leadership during the unification process, says Maoist leader Krishna Bahadur Mahara.
Talking to party supporters in Ghorahi, Mahara said that the UML and the Maoist Centre should soften their stance on various issues for the unification process to go on smoothly. “We should not use the same 60-40 formula we used to allot seats during the elections,” said Mahara adding that the two parties should respect the people’s mandate.
“The people want the two parties to unite and that is why there’s no question of backtracking,” he said. The former minister informed that both UML chief Oli and Maoist chairman Prachanda are keen on unifying the party before the new government takes charge.
He said that the key ideologies of the Maoist party and the UML would be distilled to form a new ideology for the new party.
