BHAKTAPUR, Oct 26: Nepal Workers’ and Peasants’ Party (NWPP) Chairperson Narayan Man Bijukchhe made public his party's manifesto for the upcoming November 20 House of Representatives and Provincial Assembly elections.

At a press conference organized by NWPP on Tuesday, Bijukchhe launched the manifesto that pledges to provide free education up to secondary level and make university education accessible.

Stating that the major opposition party, the CPN-UML’s involvement in power sharing with the capitalist had proven that the party was politically weak, chairperson Bijukchhe blamed that Nepali Congress-led coalition and UML were in fact the two sides of the same coin.

The NWPP in its manifesto underscored the need to enthuse and encourage national capitalists to invest Nepal's capital for the greater good of the country. The party has also advocated an immediate formulation of a law that bars keeping Nepal's assets abroad.

The party has pledged to raise its voice, both in the street and in parliament to bring new legislation that acknowledges any political parties, organizations and individuals taking sides of the criminals or encourages crimes as a crime and punishes them for violation of laws.

The parliamentarians elected from NWPP will also lobby for drafting the laws in parliament to deprive the contractors of their contract for their gross negligence and erring performances.

The party will also lobby for increasing the budget in the education sector and giving the right to autonomy and decentralization to the local bodies. Upgradation of Khwopa College into a university is one of the agendas of the party, according to the manifesto.

Severely criticizing the performance and working style of the current political parties, the NWPP has pledged to take initiatives to revoke the uneven treaties with India if it is elected by the upcoming election.

Secretary of NWPP as well as the party's candidate for member of the House of Representatives Prem Suwal argued that the election was a barometer that indicated the revolution and reaffirmed his and his party's commitments to work in the best interest of the country.
