The Chairman of the CPN (Maoist Centre), Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, has said his party is one of the key actors in national politics.Addressing the first central office bearers’ meeting of the Press Centre Nepal in Lalitpur on Sunday, Chairman Dahal said Maoist Centre had shouldered the responsibility to lead the country to a right direction. “Maoist Centre is now a key force in Nepal that even the international power can not influence here without knowing its position,” he touted.

Chairman Dahal argued that some powers were active to extirpate Maoist, so it is everyone’s responsibility to protect the party. “It is clear that government would be led on a rotational basis,” he said, asserting that Maoist Centre had the power to command 60 seats in the parliament. “Where we stand, there we make government,” he hinted at giving continuity to the existing alliance with Nepali Congress and CPN (Unified Socialist).

He however said the party failed to work up to the marks in election results. The forces that want to see Maoist Centre frail did not become successful, he underscored.

Chairman Dahal stressed that Press Centre could play a significant role to analyse the international activities in view of the multi-polar world and the present people’s mandate so that it would be easy to take ahead the country in a new vein. He also urged the Press Centre to make proper marketing of media contents for the protection and institutionalization of the achievements of Maoist revolution.

On the occasion, founding chair of Press Centre Nepal, Maheshwor Dahal, viewed irrespective of the technological development, it is important to note how quality contents are produced. “We’ve labour but no capital. So, its better run media in a cooperative model,” he suggested.
