CPN-Maoist Center Deputy Secretary General Barshman Pun has said that after the results of the National Assembly election in Koshi Province, there is a need to seriously review the alliance with the Congress.

While training the Maoist representatives and district level leaders in home district Rolpa, Pun commented that the Congress has lost their trust.

He said that in every election, they vote for the Congress honestly, but the process of being cheated by the Congress is repeating.

A new turn has come in national politics with the results of the National Assembly election of Koshi province. We have reached the point where we have to seriously review the alliance with the Congress”, Pun said, “what is the loss or profit for us politically from the alliance with the Congress? How long will it last if we continue to vote for Congress honestly in every election and Congress keeps betraying.

Earlier, in various cases, the Congress leadership used to point to factionalism and power struggle within the party as the reason. Pun recalled that two years ago, the Congress was dishonest by not voting for the candidate in the National Assembly from Koshi. Pun also said that the Congress betrayed Kedar Karki by making him the Chief Minister of Koshi in an alliance with the UML, contrary to the agreement reached at the top leadership level.

Deputy General Secretary Pun has also demanded the Congress leadership to review the anarchy and apolitical tendencies within them. He said that the Congress’s betrayal in Koshi will be discussed in the power alliance meeting.

In the National Assembly elections held on Thursday, the ruling coalition nominated Congress LLeader Krishna Prasad Sitaula and Maoist Champadevi Karki as candidates. Although Sitaula won, Karki lost to UML’s Rukmini Koirala.
