CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairperson Madhav Kumar Nepal asserted that the party's 'awakening campaign' was launched with the objective of paying heed to people directly and to take their concerns to the State so that their problems would be addressed.
Inaugurating the campaign at Kakadvitta in Jhapa district on Sunday, Nepal, also former Prime Minister, said that the campaign was initiated to create jobs, curb corruption and maintain good-governance.
He said, "We will create awareness among the people to further strengthen the constitution, to promote patriotism, to fight for protection of the republic as well as to amplify the voice of democracy through the campaign."
According to him, during the campaign, the party's agenda and programmes on socialism and making the country prosperous would be shared with people apart from soliciting suggestions from them regarding gaining clarity on the party's moves. Calling out the political parties' increasing indifference towards the problems and concerns, he said that such tendency should be ended.
Furthermore, the Chairperson viewed there was a huge potential for job creation for the youths by developing national capital and establishing agricultural industries.
Similarly, the party's senior leader and former Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal shared that the campaign was taken forward considering the fact that the governance systems kept on changing but the condition of citizens remained unchanged.
Lamenting that the political front was becoming directionless, he worried about the increasing trade deficit and inflation and blamed that the incumbent government could not control it. He warned that the nationality itself was at stake at this moment, foreign countries' interference had increased and the government subsequently had reached a situation where it could not protect the borders of the country.
The campaign will go through many places across the country and will conclude with a corner meeting in Surkhet district on October 16, informed Ghanashyam Bhusal, party's General-Secretary.
