Dr. Prakash Sharan Mahat, a spokesperson for the Nepali Congress (NC), has accused the main opposition CPN (UML) of trying to use the United States of America’s State Partnership Program as part of its election agenda.
Speaking at a press meeting organized by the Nepal Press Union in Birgunj of Parsa Sunday, the Spokesperson of the major ruling party said, “The SPP was not a big matter and it was already known to us that the letter to this regard was exchanged during the premiership of UML chair KP Sharma Oli. The party which has no specific agenda for the upcoming election tried to use it as a weapon against the government.”
He accused the party of provoking propaganda against the government targeting the upcoming province and federal elections.
Leader Mahat, who is also the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, stressed that the retaining stable and balanced foreign policy should be the priority of Nepal.
