Talking to journalists as part of his regular press meet at the UCPN-Maoist Headquarters, Parisdanda, in the capital today, he said the government that was formed for holding CA elections should not divert its attention away from the major task being engaged in other minor activities.
He said the Interim Election Council (IEC) does not have the mandate to only carry out the day-to-day governance, adding that, "The government that was formed just to hold election in the special political situation is tempted to rule like an elected government. It will not do good to anybody."
He reiterated that the major political parties agreed to hold election in June but it was not possible due to the ´politics of reaction´.
The political parties are real representatives of the people and they deserve to rule the nation so that it was necessary to move ahead holding CA elections as far as possible, said Sapkota. He stressed the need of holding election by the third week of November.
UCPN-Maoist leader Sapkota said the government should declare the date for election without lingering the process.
Talking about the UCPN-Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal´s China visit, UCPN-Maoist Spokesperson Sapkota said Dahal´s China visit would have historical importance. He further said Dahal´s visit to the northern neighbour is happy news to Nepal and its people as it was the first ever visit by any political leader and his meeting with the new leadership in China.
He stated that a new chapter between China and Nepal has begun with the visit and that UCPN-Chairman Dahal had appealed to the Chinese government to extend support for the development of hydropower, industry sector, road network and airport, among others and that the Chinese leadership had taken it positively.
Sapkota claimed that Chairman Dahal´s China visit has been much successful than what was expected. He said the interest shown by the government of China for the economic development and prosperity of the country was a very positive matter indeed.
The UCPN-Maoist leader claimed that Chairman Dahal had gone to China visit as the Coordinator of the High Level Political Committee.
