POKHARA: The Chairperson of CPN-Maoist Centre Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said the House of Representatives and State Assemblies elections will be held on stipulated time.
He also ensured that upcoming polls will not be deferred on at any pretext, it will be held on time.“Government committed for holding polls, opposition desire and verdict of Apex court’s demanding progress on elections, does not leave any ground to be susceptible towards elections,” Dahal said so while addressing a press meet organised by Press Centre Nepal Kaski, on Friday.
Former PM Dahal was optimistic that after House of Representatives and State Assemblies elections will ensure political stability in the nation.
“Elections are important for constitution implementation, political stability and economic prosperity in the nation. We have alerted the government as there is delima among general public regarding holding upcoming polls or not,” Dahal shared.
Maoist leader Dahal also clarified that the alliance was not formed against political party, rather it was formed for people, nation and political stability in the country. He also urged the ruling coalition partner Nepali Congress to take the leftist alliance as a natural development process in politics.
“We as well as general public have wished for economic prosperity and development in the nation,” adding this alliance has nothing to do with NC. So, NC should not be worried by our broader leftist alliance,”. Dahal said.
“All political parties forged consensus on promulgating the constitution, we won’t go beyond the statute, leftist alliance would strengthen democracy, majority government would have enough time to proceed developmental efforts,” Dahal lamented.
“We won’t protest against the government committed for holding elections, it is disheartening that Maoist Ministers have been stripped off portfolios. We would have withdrawal from the government then, but we will resign from coalition after the nominations are filled on December 2. We have remained in the government just to exert pressure for holding polls,” Dahal shared.
Meanwhile, Dahal said the alliance has finalised nominations in 32 districts and others district candidates would be finalised within a day or two for the upcoming House of Representatives and State Assemblies elections.

United frustrate Liverpool in disappointing derby

LIVERPOOL:  A cautious Manchester United frustrated hosts Liverpool as a lacklustre North-West Premier League derby ended 0-0 on Saturday with neither side able to find the creative touch. The draw leaves United alone at the top of the table on 20 points although Manchester City, who are now a point behind, can regain first place when they host Stoke City later on Saturday.Those hoping for a classic blood-and-thunder clash of the two most successful clubs in English football were probably being overly optimistic but few would have predicted such an uninspiring 90 minutes at Anfield. United manager Jose Mourinho’s team selection suggested that, as last season, he would adopt a cautious approach to taking on Juergen Klopp’s side. Instead of Spanish craftsman Juan Mata on the right, the more defensively diligent Ashley Young started in the role and Marcus Rashford, carrying a slight knock from England duty, was left on the bench. With United’s Romelu Lukaku left alone – an...

US trio win Nobel for finding Einstein’s gravitational waves

STOCKHOLM/LONDON:  Three US scientists won the 2017 Nobel prize for physics on Tuesday for opening up a new era of astronomy by detecting gravitational waves, ripples in space and time foreseen by Albert Einstein a century ago. The work of Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne crowned half a century of experimental efforts by scientists and engineers.Measuring gravitational waves offers a new way to observe the cosmos, helping scientists explore the nature of mysterious objects including black holes and neutron stars. It may also provide insight into the universe’s very earliest moments. The first detection of the waves created a scientific sensation when it was announced early last year and the teams involved in the discovery had been widely seen as favourites for Tuesday’s prize. “We now witness the dawn of a new field: gravitational wave astronomy,” Nils Martensson, acting chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics, told reporters. “This will teach us about the ...
