Chairman of the Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal has accused the current government of trying to save the corrupt. He has also warned of a major protest if the government continues to protect the corrupt without taking action.

In a public communication program organized by the Maoist Center District Coordination Committee in Kushma on Friday, he said that he had to leave the government because he was involved in a campaign to eliminate corruption when he was the prime minister. "During the 18 months at the helm of the government, what Vice President Narayan Kaji Shrestha, Home Minister and I resolved to do was to become harsh towards political party leaders, land mafia, middlemen, those who wanted to eat the state's land in the name of individuals," he said. Said it was removed. "The middlemen and bureaucratic brokers called the party leaders to their homes and hotels and incited them that we are finished and your future will also be dark", he added, "When the police came to arrest you in Budhanil Kanth, it was rumored that the same thing happened in Balkot."
