Koirala: New elections is sure to take place

Kathmadnu, July 1- Nepali Congress (NC) President Sushil Koirala ruled out any doubt about the holding of new Constituent Assembly elections, saying the new elections are the only way out of the current political crisis and said Nepali people are in favor of the new CA polls.

 

Koirala, who is currently in United States of America in course of medical treatment, expressed his belief that the dissenting parties will finally participate in the elections as there is no other alternative.

 

Koirala expressed the view at a program organized by the Nepal-America Liaison Committee, associated with NC, at Jackson, New York.

 

Stating that talks are underway with the leaders of the dissenting parties including the CPN-Maoist and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Nepal for their participation in the elections, he clarified that NC is not against federalism but only against ethnic-based federalism.

 

On a different note, Koirala said his party would give election tickets to those who work in the district and are recommended by their respective constituencies.
