Transformation of the CPN (Maoist Centre) is mandatory for the same.” Stating that the government has forwarded a campaign of good governance with determination, Chair Dahal clarified that the campaign would not be stopped. “The government will take action against all involved in illegal and criminal activities like the fake Bhutanese refugee scam, the gold smuggling and corruption. It will not be stopped. We will move ahead with strong determination,” viewed the Maoist Centre Chairperson. He pointed out the need of qualitative development for country’s prosperity, stressing the need of changing the model of development. “The traditional development model cannot guide ahead the prosperity. There is need for qualitative transformation in this. We cannot always carry with us the failed development model. We will move ahead with a new economic policy and plan by the time of the next budget,” he said. PM and party chair Dahal shared that the government has taken various steps in the interest of the country and the people, and the people will be soon able to reap benefit out it. “Some sections are nervous with the level of success the present government has achieved in diplomacy.

Valley Special Province in-charge Barshaman Pun said forging ahead in works of party transformation by systematizing the works of the government and the party is the present need.
