DHANGADHI, March 31: CPN-UML Vice Chairman Bishnu Paudel has said that the UML is not involved in the game of making or breaking any alliance for the sake of power.
Responding to a query of journalists if the UML is working to forge another alliance as an alternative to the present one, Vice Chairman Poudel said that that was not the priority of his party.
The UML Vice Chairman Poudel arrived in Dhangadhi today in connection with the party's 'mission grassroots' campaign. "Currently the UML is not in favor of making or breaking any alliance just for going to power. It is rather working towards further strengthening the party. Therefore, we are conducting the mission grassroots program throughout the country," he said.

Addressing an interaction organized by Press Chautari Nepal in Dhangadhi, Poudel said that his party would play the role of a strong opposition in parliament. He said the UML is moving ahead with the mission of securing majority votes in the upcoming election.
On a separate note, leader Paudel said that UML's leadership of the government would secure political stability and economic prosperity for the country. According to him, the country is caught up in appalling instability.
"All the economic indicators except that of remittance are negative. The present inland revenue has reached a situation that it can no longer meet the recurrent expenditure," the former Finance Minister said, adding that the financial commitments made by the international donors have also not been realized and that the government is not serious even in this dire situation.
