Senior leader of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) and former Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha has said that the leftist forces should unite and bring about changes as per the expectations of the people. Addressing a unity message meeting organized in Syangja, he said that the division should not be repeated now.

'Political change has come after thousands of sacrifices, but the work of improving the living standards of the people is still to be done,' said leader Shrestha. 'Now, there is a need to transform the lifestyle of the people by emerging with new politics.'

Stating that the political discontent so far has led the country in the wrong direction, he accused the government of causing conflict. He said that the Gen-G movement is a common issue for all classes in the country.

Stating that the upcoming election on Falgun 21 seems uncertain, he said that all parties should cooperate with the government to hold elections on time. 'Not holding elections means opening the door to conflict again,' he said, 'It is the government's main responsibility to hold clean, fearless and fair elections.'

He clarified that the election should be held on the announced date as the demand for the restoration of parliament would cause further instability. He also urged the party structure to be finalized quickly. Leader Shrestha said that the first responsibility within the party is to quickly form the central committee, secretariat and provincial structures and strengthen the organization. 'How long will we call it the former party? Now the new structure must be finalized quickly,' he said
