KATHMANDU: The Nepal Communist Party (Maoist) has unveiled its election manifesto, addressing critical issues such as the necessity for state economic policies aimed at enhancing the living conditions of impoverished citizens.

During a press conference held today, the manifesto was presented for the upcoming House of Representatives election scheduled for March 5, with General Secretary Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’ in attendance.

As the party engages in elections for the first time after transitioning to peaceful politics, it has vowed to eradicate capitalist, comprador, and imperialist practices and to bridge the divide between the affluent and the underprivileged.

On the occasion, party General Secretary Chand asserted that education and healthcare must be universally accessible, employment opportunities should be guaranteed, and the private sector should not impose arbitrary fees or operate without regulation.

He highlighted the importance of making agriculture self-sufficient, increasing investments in science and technology, and attracting youth to these sectors. The party is dedicated to fostering national prosperity through enhanced trade and investment, he asserted.
