KATHMANDU – CPN (UML) chairperson KP Sharma Oli pledged to ensure development in Madhesh Pradesh unleashing the potentials of agriculture, tourism, trade and business sector.
At a programme organized by UML Parsa-Kathmandu Liaison Forum and Youth Organization Nepal, Bhaktapur in Bhaktapur today to welcome new cadres to the party, party chairperson Oli reiterated to develop Madhesh Province by increasing production through agriculture, industrialization and tourism and decreasing the import.
The former Prime Minister expressed his confidence that all the arable land in the Province would get irrigation facility once the Sunkoshi Diversion project would be completed. Stating that the Province was the best destination in terms of religious tourism, Oli viewed that Birgunj-Kathmandu railway would be operated in future. On a different note, he lambasted the Madhesh Province government, stating that it preached one and practiced some thing different.
He mentioned that instead of bringing as many as girl child under the ‘Beti Padhau, Beti Bachau’ (Educate Girl Child, Save Girl Child) campaign, an insurance scheme introduced by the provincial government to encourage girl education, the provincial government was instead distributing bicycles to girl child.
Similarly, UML politburo member and parliamentarian Mahesh Basnet claimed that there was a wave of joining UML across the country. According to him, the public would evaluate which party would ensure development in the country. On the occasion, 550 cadres coming from Parsa district were welcomed to the UML.
