Biratnagar-  CPN (Maoist Centre) Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said the party’s ongoing awakening campaign centered on the East-West Postal Highway Area has helped the party understand citizens’ issues. Speaking at a press meet organised by the Morang chapter of the Press Centre Nepal here today, the leader said the campaign has been useful to perceive the problems of indigenous, ethnic communities and the Madheshi residing in the southern belt, prompting the party to take initiatives for addressing them. “The awakening campaign is essential for achieving the economic development. It will contribute to increasing production and productivity. This Mechi to Mahakali campaign is also for good governance,” he said, adding that Nepali citizens are encouraged by it and the party is the ‘actor’ for transformation in the country. He pressed the need for a directly elected executive chief in the country for what he argued ending political anomalies and addressing citizen’s aspirations for peace and prosperity. —
