Kathmandu, April 19
The CPN-Unified Socialist has become the first ‘national party’ to publish the local election manifesto public.
Speaking at a function organised in Kathmandu on Tuesday, the party chief Madhav Kumar Nepal made the document public starting the local elections scheduled to be held on May 13.
In the manifesto, the party has said it would work on building pro-people local governments and establishing foundations for prosperity.
The party’s promises include free electricity for up to 200 units every month, free drinking water and priority to health services at the local level budget formulation.
Other national parties including the biggest three–CPN-UML, Nepali Congress and CPN-Maoist Centre–are yet to make their election manifestoes public.
