UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel has said that the election manifesto will be made public in the first week of Falgun. He also said that the work of preparing the manifesto is currently underway at a rapid pace.
At a press conference held in Kathmandu on Friday, he said that the election should be made a debate on agenda and program, challenging individualistic or social media-based populism. Stating that social media-based hatred and populism are a big challenge to democracy, he said that since democracy is a system of dialogue, the election should focus on policy and program debate. He said, "Individualistic or face-based options are not democratic. The real option is determined by the agenda, not whether the face is old or new."
He said that the people of UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli's constituency Jhapa-5 are aware and the party's analysis is that they will not be influenced by populism. He claimed that he felt that the people had come to the conclusion that Shankar Pokharel would play a decisive role in national politics in Dang, where he was elected. He said, "The work has gained momentum now, the people of Dang are optimistic."
General Secretary Pokharel claimed that UML is alone but strong in the perspective of looking at the incident of Bhadra 23/24 and claimed that UML will come first in the election. He said, "In the past, the popular vote was 27 percent, this time it is estimated to reach 30-34 percent. Due to the division of votes, the possibility of becoming the majority or the largest party is high."
