I altered the alliance to make government functioning effective: PM Dahal

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said he had to change the alliance as he felt discomforts with the government’s operation.

In his address to a session of the House of Representatives following the partisan deliberations on his proposal to seek a vote of confidence, the Prime Minister said he had to alter the alliance as he wished to make the government functioning effective.

Stating that the opinions for and against the proposal in the House have made the House more lively, he said it will contribute to further strengthening the democratic system.

“If the House grants the vote of confidence, we are committed to visibly serving the interests of the citizens and the nation,” he affirmed, pledging to uphold and advance the Constitution and democracy. “For this purpose, I am prepared to change course.”

According to the Prime Minister, arguments in favour of the proposal and against it are the treasury of the House, he said the deliberations will contribute to enhance democracy.

“All political parties are independent to forge a political alliance, but it should be for the interests of the citizens. I urge all political parties to stand for the case of the people,” he said.

Defending his decision to form a new political equation, he said it is meant for addressing the people’s aspirations.
