Dahal said, "There is talk of reshuffling the cabinet. While new ones are set to come in, old ones are about to go. But the decision has not been made yet. I have already told the Prime Minister that the past is past and now we need ministries according to our strength."

Similarly, he said that the politics of the country is focused on elections and all the activities of the major political parties have become election-centric. "Our training program is also an election-related process and the emphasis is on the issue of elections rather than the agenda of the general convention,” Dahal said.

Likewise, Dahal said that he would give high priority to getting a positive election result on the party’s own strength. However, the possibility of forming electoral alliances is also there, he added.
