Maoist Centre Chair Prachanda says he will dedicate rest of his life for economic revolution

KATHMANDU: CPN (Maoist Centre)’s Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said he struggled for long to see political transformation in the country.

While inaugurating the ‘Youth Entrepreneurship Conference’ organized by the Ministry of Commerce and Supplies, Bagmati State; the National Youth Council and Bishal Media Group jointly here today, the former Prime Minister said he planned to dedicate his days ahead for the cause of political stability, economic revolution, peace, development and prosperity of the nation.

The leader was of the view that youths who are abroad for various reasons would obviously not hesitate to come back to home provided that an atmosphere for stability, development and prosperity was ensured here.

He realized that he was in the later part of life and he would dedicate his rest of the life for the economic revolution.

The present situation suggests that we could accelerate the pace of development in the next 10 years. Youths are capable of taking the nation towards a new phase of economic development if they are committed for the same, according to him.

He was of the view that Nepal has a great potential of being developed as an economically self-sufficient nation, but the political atmosphere, strong power, right vision, plans and programmes are lacking to take the country towards that path with the utilization of natural resources.

Pointing out the great potentiality for digital infrastructure development and urging youth not to miss such opportunities.

Similarly, agriculture is one of the prominent sectors for achieving self-sufficiency.

Stating that Nepal, the food-export country in the past, is highly dependent on imported food at the present.

Talking about the possibility of the culture of gaining prosperity through illegal channels becoming dominant in society, he urged youths not to dream of seeking an economic career through a fast track.

He urged them to have patience and dedication in entrepreneurs to take the business towards sustainability.

The Maoist Centre chairperson took time to say that he could take a leading role in transforming war into peace and drafting an inclusive conclusion. “Efforts started with good intention will give positive results,” he added.

On the occasion, Minister for Youth and Sports Maheshwor Jung Gahatraj stressed the need for new political thoughts for the economic development of the country.

Stating that education, health, tourism and sports are potential sectors for boosting the country’s economy, he emphasised that visionary leaders with new political thoughts should get the political leadership. Youths should also be connected for developing and prospering the country, he added.

President of the Confederation of Commercial Banks and Financial Institutions Nepal, Pawan Golyan, underscored the need for economic revolution along with the development of agriculture in the country while the conference coordinator Bishal Gaire, also a chief executive officer of Bishal Media Group, said next movements should be for peace, stability and economic development of the country.
