UML Deputy General Secretary Yogesh Bhattarai has said that there should be a review to determine whether the selection of candidates for the upcoming House of Representatives elections was fair or not. He said that he has demanded that Chairman KP Sharma Oli review the selection of candidates after the House of Representatives elections.
Deputy Secretary General Bhattarai issued a video message on Monday and said that he has demanded a review of ticket distribution. But he said that the review should be after the election.
I would like to tell party chairman KP Oli - even today, if it is possible to reconcile the candidates in some of the 165 constituencies, then do it. 'I have expressed some different views regarding the selection of candidates in the meeting of the party central secretariat. I have also registered that as a different opinion. Today I do not want to discuss that issue because its chapter has ended. How right or wrong the different opinions I have expressed are is not the subject of review today and I also do not want to make it the main topic of discussion. Those issues will be reviewed after Falgun 21 when the UML forms the government, under the leadership of the UML, we will move forward in a strong manner, then it should be reviewed with a cool head,' Bhattarai said, 'I have told the party chairman that it should be reviewed. Did we do it fairly or not while selecting candidates? Did we set standards or not? Did you give a winning, popular, and loyal candidate to the party or not? We will review it after the election.'
Bhattarai also urged the party to implement the decision made. He said that party leaders and workers should work to make the candidates put forward by the party win even if there are differences of opinion. 'I would like to tell my friends across the country to stop this debate about who got the candidacy ticket and who didn't. What happened has been made public. Now they are all our UML candidates,' he said.
Deputy Secretary General Bhattarai urged Chairman Oli to change the candidate's ticket. 'I would like to tell party chairman KP Oli - if it is possible to reconcile candidates in some of the 165 constituencies today, then do it. I have not asked for it for myself. I have made it clear that I was willing to be a candidate from Taplejung, but now that the party chairman has made a public decision and sent it, I am not going to make any changes in it. It is my duty to make the candidate he has sent win from Taplejung, the flag bearer of the UML's sun symbol, I will move forward with determination,' says Bhattarai, 'In some places, there have been complaints that some justice has not been done to my friends. There have been complaints that the feelings of local party workers and supporters have not been understood. I have seen that candidates have been changed in dozens of places even after the secretariat meeting. Therefore, on this last occasion, I would like to tell Chairman Comrade KP Oli - I have seen seven or eight such constituencies across the country, and there is a suspicion that our party will be weakened from the very beginning.'
Bhattarai says that Chairman Oli should distribute tickets impartially. 'Chairman, you are the leader of this party, a respected leader of all of us. You should build a big chest, you will definitely not stand on the basis of whether you supported me at the general convention or not. At this time, the mission is whether UML will win or not. If seven, eight, nine or ten constituencies across the country are available by tomorrow morning, I would like to draw the Chairman's attention to presenting candidates in an appropriate manner,' he said.
