CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has said that the left alliance, which is on the verge of winning a majority of the seats in the federal parliament and provincial assembly, will respect and work together with opposition parties.

Speaking after receiving the certificate for being elected as federal parliament member from Jhapa-5, Chairman Oli said, “Some believe that the government will be oppressive and forget its duty after winning the elections like in the past. But would like to assure that we know how it feels to be oppressed as we have arrived at this stage by experiencing oppression.”

Chairman Oli called on the newly elected representatives of his party to work in such a way that ‘they won’t have to ask for votes but the people feel compelled to vote for the party’.

Saying that only majority itself is not enough for the stability of the country, the UML Chairman said that it will not be difficult to bring development, prosperity and stability if the leadership wishes so.

On the occasion Chairman Oli thanked the people of Jhapa for accepting an unlikely alliance of CPN-UML and Rastriya Prajatantra Party in Jhapa-3, which he said was a necessity.
