He reiterated that the CPN-Maoist was not the anti-election force, saying the party had opposed the election process scheduled for November 19 because the CA election held by the present non-political government could not give right solution to the country.



He claimed that the talks between the CPN-Maoist and the High Level Political Committee (HLPC) could not end up positively due to wrong stands of government and the four political parties.



However, he said the 33-party alliance led by the CPN-Maoist had been holding discussions over the proposal received from the four-party mechanism.



During the programme, around 80 leaders and cadres including the former lawmaker of the Unified CPN (Maoist) joined the CPN-Maoist.
