At a press conference organized by Press Chautari Nepal in Nepalgunj on Monday, General Secretary Pokhrel accused the present government of failing to address people’s problems and work for development. He argued that exodus of youths was increased of late due to declining trust in State. He expressed worry why the government did not pay heed to retain youths within country. A strong national force is imperative because the existing alliance government had not worked for development, according to General Secretary Pokhrel. He however ruled out the possibility of unity with any communist party for now. “In the past, the party was unified with positive thought but it was not long lasting. Now onwards, unity among cadres and well wishers would be based for unification of parties,” Pokhrel reminded.
