Maoist Chairman Prachanda has warned the government of another “Janandolan” if the Interim Constitution is not issued by the end of this Nepali month (January 14). The Maoist Supremo also disclosed that the government and the Maoists had already reached an agreement to issue the Interim Statute by Jan 9. Prachanda made the comment while talking to journalists in Dolakha district today. He also claimed that the Nepali people “would rise in rebellion” at their (Maoist) call if a situation is created where the constituent assembly elections cannot take place. “What I think is- let’s not say by January 9- but if the interim constitution is not issued, interim legislature not formed, by the end of this (Nepali) month (Jan 14), then we won’t be left with any other alternative; we will go for protests,” Prachanda said. Prachanda also said that he had come to Dolakha “to study the possibilities of developing economic models for the building of a new Nepal.” Saying that he was “positive” about the Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Project, Prachanda stressed the need for domestic investment in such projects. Prachanda who reached Dolakha on Wednesday toured district headquarters Charikot, Tamakoshi Bazaar, Mainapokhari and Jiri with his wife and children. During his tour, he interacted and took photos with the local people. Meanwhile, speaking at a different programme in Palpa district today, CPN UML leader Bamdev Gautam also warned that his party will withdraw from the government if the interim constitution is not promulgated by mid-January.
Speaking at an interaction programme organized by Press Chautari, Palpa, Gautam also stressed on promulgating the interim statute and holding constituent assembly election in time. He also said that the main objective of the constituent assembly election was to uproot the monarchy and that he would spread the same message in villages across the country.
