Prachanda accuses Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) of trying to pay out tens of millions of rupees to Constituent Assembly members to secure majority


NC, UML are trying to buy CA members: PM Dahal

Caretaker Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has accused Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) of trying to pay out tens of millions of rupees to Constituent Assembly members of other parties in a bid to secure majority necessary for forming the new government.

Addressing a programme organised by the families of state-disappeared persons at Basantapur, Kathmandu, on Saturday, PM Dahal claimed that UML and NC were trying to buy MPs at the behest of foreign power centres, and urged caution against such attempts. He didn't elaborate on the accusation.

Saying that his party, Unified CPN (Maoist), was ready for big sacrifice in order to restore civilian supremacy in the country, Dahal said the parties that identify themselves as democrats have thrown their weight behind the army chief who challenged civilian supremacy.

He described his resignation as a salvo against the foreign intervention and political betrayers and warned of strong protest movement against "brokers and betrayers".

He further said the ongoing attempts of other parties to form new government exclusive of Maoists are the outcome of defeated mentality
