Hitting out at the erstwhile government for not walking the talk, Mahat said that the Nepali people could not get vaccines against COVID-19 when that government was embroiled in reaping hefty commissions.
He assured that it was only his party that could safeguard the constitution, human rights, individual freedom and democracy and the current coalition was formed for the protection of the constitution and political stability.
Furthermore, the former minister appealed to all NC cadres and leaders to work actively to elect coalition candidates without any biases. The spokesperson for the oldest democratic party shared that NC was hell-bent to protect the political achievements and was considering amendment to the constitution as per the demand of time.
Also speaking at the press meet, NC central member Dila Shangraula urged all party cadres and voters for their active participation in the election, arguing that a single vote mattered a lot in the upcoming election. "NC is the party that delivers but is lagging behind due to its inability to publicize its works and achievements among the people," she viewed.
