JANAKPURDHAM: Chairman of the CPN-UML, Jhala Nath Khanal, on Saturday has said the election announced for November 22 by the Prime Minister was just a tactic to stick to power.
At a zonal level orientation organised for the party cadres in Janakpur today, Chairman Khanal said there were no conditions to hold election on November 22. So, it was a ploy to retain power, he argued.
At a time there was no alternative to the national consensus, the arbitrary decision of the Prime Minister was neither political nor constitution, he said.
Moreover, Chairman Khanal said the proposal of one Madhes, one Province floated by Madhesi Morcha would split the country. He, further, said it was a sponsored demand.

Chairman of the CPN-UML, Jhala Nath Khanal's statement is just a tactic for the two main obstructionist status-quo parties (CPN-UML and NC) to remain in power. New elections in 120 days will bring fresh, uncorrupted faces into the CA process and progress possible without significant interference from the old-guard who would keep the poor and peasants without food in their mouths. All the disenfranchised in Nepal speak with one voice to the PM: Stay the course for new elections and resign only when a new constitution is in place that grantees rights for all and an end to the big status-quo old-guard parties who think of themselves and cohorts as the new royals.
