"The UCPN-Maoist though became a big party through election after suppression and terror, its inaction led to parties´ failure to bring constitution," he reiterated.
Inaugurating a district council of the party in Ilam today, Chairman Khanal argued that his party would become a largest political party after the coming election.[break]
"UCPN-Maoist is extreme left and Nepali Congress the traditional one, so both of them can not lead the country", he said, adding, "The Madhes-centric parties can not represent all people in Madhes. So, the UML needs to be the largest political party," he stressed.
Similarly, he said political parties would forge consensus and announce the election date very soon.
Also a coordinator of the high-level political committee, Chairman Khanal said the country had numerous problems, and time had come to hold the Constituent Assembly election successfully.
On the occasion, former speaker Subash Chandra Nembang said only consensus and cooperation would do well to the country. "To unite all parties, UML should be united first," he pointed out a need.
The council was presided over by Mani Kumar Limbu, district committee chair of the party.
