Entire party should be mobilized to bring positive change in life of people: PM

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has urged the entire party rank and file to move ahead in unison and with activeness for bringing positive change in people’s lives.
He said so while addressing a two-day national workshop entitled ‘Problems of Party’s Works at Local Level and Solution’, organised by the UML Central Organisation Department at the party’s central office at Chyasal, Lalitpur today.
PM and Party Chair Oli on the occasion called on the party’s leaders and workers, in their capacity as the leaders and workers of a party established in favour of the people and the country, to actively and with unity be dedicated to the national campaign of improving the living standard of the people.

Referring to the struggle and success of the Communist Party of China, and China’s present rapid economic development as examples, Chairman Oli said the party needs to be one on bringing positive change in the lives of the people.

He pointed out that ideological clarity and unity should be maintained within the party and it should be oriented towards the journey of socialism, stressing on the need of the workshop’s participants to reach its message to the masses.

Presenting the example of the Communist Party of China reaching to power from a situation of nought and achieving supremacy and thereby making China an economic super power now, the UML Chairman reminded that in China there is no system of any party leader opposing the party leadership.

Stating that China has started its journey of socialism with its unique features without copying from other socialist nations, he said in Nepal the UML is also moving ahead towards the goal of socialism. “Our party is born not only for the sake of politics. It is a party that was born to make the country developed and bring positive change carrying with it the goals of socialism and nationalism.

It has been consistently working from the beginning to give the advanced shape to the social condition. The Communist Party of Nepal was established with the objective of fulfilling the people’s basic needs like food, clothes, health care and education, and their political rights.

The political rights have been achieved and now is the time to work towards economic production and prosperity by maintaining political stability,” PM and Party Chair Oli said. Stating that the desired achievements could not be secured due to the lack of ideological clarity and unity within the party since the historical period, he said a tendency to express one’s differences but failing to explore the right way ahead has been seen within the party.

He called for the party to be free of such tendency now. Although the reactionaries have adopted the policy of dividing the Communist Party and rule the country, the Party Chair Oli recalled how the founding leader Pushpalal had made efforts at maintaining the party unity.

He urged one and all to be free from the tendency of ‘my way or highway’ and to work for the interest of the people and the country by adopting the right thinking. The chairpersons, secretaries and chiefs of the organization departments of the UML’s all the province and district committees, two additional women from province committees, the central chairpersons and general secretaries of the people’s organisations and the mayors and deputy mayors elected from the party are attending the National Workshop that kicked off on Saturday.
