Maoists will form local bodies says Dr Bhattarai



Senior leader of the Unified CPN (Maoist) and former finance minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has said his party would unilaterally form local bodies if the present government fails to so.

Speaking at a programme organised by Jana Sanchar Abhiyan in Kathmandu Monday afternoon, Dr Bhattarai said his party would assemble people in the villages and form local bodies to give continuity to developmental programmes initiated by the previous government.

Accusing his party’s former ally, the CPN (UML), of disrupting the formation of local bodies, Dr Bhattarai said local bodies should be formed immediately based on proportional system of votes in the Constituent Assembly
