KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) leader Dr Shekhar Koirala viewed that his party should start making efforts right from today to contest and win in the upcoming election on its own strength.
Leader Koirala expressed so at a programme organized to exchange festival greetings at party's Kathmandu Metropolitan City ward no 32 today. He, however, claimed that his party was capable of running election without forging any electoral alliance with other parties in the wake of other parties' announcement to vie in the upcoming election singly.
On a different note, Koirala asserted that the incumbent two-party government was formed on the consensus of the UML and his party NC to ensure political stability in the country.
Similarly, NC central member Mohan Bahadur Basnet called for unity within the party in consideration of the risk of losing the election in lack of unity.
He opined that his party should learn from the mistakes in the past when it comes to running election and move forward accordingly.
