Congress-UML meeting is not a new thing: Communications Minister Gurung

Addressing the first convention of the UML's youth organization Rashtriya Yuva Sangh Gandaki Province on Saturday at Lamjung headquarters, Bensi Sahar, he claimed that the Congress-UML had come together this time for a stable government.

'There was no option for the Congress-UML to come together due to the current situation' he said, 'Sometimes the first party and the third party form a government together, sometimes the second party and the third party form a government together, so the government was not stable. People were disappointed. That's why we are united. He came to his home district for the first time on Saturday after becoming the Minister of Communications.

At first glance, the Congress-UML alliance seems unnatural. However, history is a witness, when there is a big national crisis in Nepal, the Congress-UML has come together for that. This is not a new thing," he said.

2046 anti-panchayat campaign, 2062-063 people's movement, bringing the Maoists to the peace process and allowing autocratic rule to flourish, he mentioned that the UML-Congress came together to make the constitution by forming the Constituent Assembly. "Congress-UML has come together to achieve great achievements with a certain objective for the nation. This is the fourth time that we have met in such important incidents, we have met in other incidents as well,' he said. He said that great achievements will be achieved when Congress-Communists come together.

Minister Gurung, who gave a speech for about 15 minutes, mostly talked about the need for a Congress-UML coalition government. He said that without a stable government, there was no development, no capital expenditure, no good governance, no peace and security, and the people were disappointed.

'Congress-UML has agreed to make the people believe in a permanent government. This will solve the problems in the country," he said. He also claimed that Congress-UML coalition government is necessary to advance the issue of national independence.

The capital expenditure in the 2018 budget is 3 trillion. Even that could not be spent, the situation of the country is like this, he said. He said earlier that the big projects, development constructions and infrastructures started when the party chairman KP Sharma Oli was the prime minister were at a standstill and the current government will continue them.

Comments are heard that when the first and second powers of the Parliament combine, the government becomes a dictatorship. We will maintain good governance, we will advance the campaign of prosperity, there is an issue of national independence, we will fulfill the responsibilities that need to be fulfilled for development," he said, "After forming the government together with the Congress-UML, there is hope among the citizens. People have hope that this government will be stable," he said. He expressed his belief that the vote of confidence in the current government, which has two-thirds of convenient votes, will increase and will get more help in maintaining a stable government. UML politburo member and youth union in-charge Mahesh Basnet, central member Zamindraman Ghale, youth union former president and party central member Rajeev Pahari, Rashtriya Yuva Sangh president Kshitij Thebe spoke at the

event. According to Pitambar Khanal, coordinator of the National Youth Association Nepal Gandaki Province Committee, 254 representatives from all 11 districts of Gandaki Province have been selected in the convention. He said that the

convention will end on Sunday after selecting the new leadership.
