Time for parties to engage with development: Chair Oli

CPN-UML Chairman and former prime minister KP Sharma Oli has said political parties need to involve in development works in addition to engagement in politics.

Addressing a programme organized as part of the nationwide campaign at Burtibang of Baglung on Wednesday, Chairman Oli observed that development was gradually reaching Nepal’s hinterlands.

The villages which are not linked to development must be linked now, he said, adding that villages’ access to technology is equally significant.

He reminded that the UML was not only watching the government but also cooperating in good initiations. Oli asserted that his party had supported people in need and anointed the wounds.

According to him, the party had mobilized 1,100 volunteers in the quake hit Jajarkot and Rukum Paschim districts.
