This by-election has proved wrong that the Maoists who come out of the government will be eliminated. It was seen that the party stood on its feet and the people believed in it. -Deputy Secretary General Varshaman Pun

Defeating the Congress-UML alliance rather than preserving its previous position became a matter of prestige for the Maoists. In Putha Uttarganga, UML candidate Kesh Kumari Tulachan became the candidate on the tree symbol of Congress.

With the results of the by-elections, Chairman of the Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said a 'positive message'. "This by-election has increased confidence in the party and has given a positive message for the coming days," Dahal told the secretariat members on Monday evening. There was some weakness.'

"This is the answer given by the people in the by-election to the plan of the leader of the Congress-UML to introduce a two-party political system," he said, "Maoist is the indispensable power of this country."
Deputy Secretary General Pun claimed that the Maoists were approved by the people after winning the election alone this time in the area where the alliance with the Congress did not bring the expected results in the last local elections. . "This election result proved wrong the allegation that the Maoists who came out of the government will be eliminated," he said, "It was seen that the people will believe if the party stands on its own feet." The basis for contesting the election alone in the upcoming elections was clearly seen.
Dahal's government led by 'the work done in favor of good governance, nationalism, social justice and prosperity has awakened hope in the people'. He said that he will review the reasons for losing places won in the past in the next meeting.
Political analyst Shyam Shrestha said that it indicates that the base of Maoists has been destroyed. If the Maoists were in power, it would have been difficult to get votes for this position. The mandate of the by-election has given a message to stay out of power and form an organization,' he said, 'Maoist seems to have a support base.' Even though he contested the election alone, despite the problems in the leadership of Maoist, it seems that the base is still alive . The message has been given that the Maoists should be punished. The base is not damaged, the top is damaged," he added.
