Current model of democratic republic will give no relief to people: Bijukchhe

President of the Nepal Workers and Peasant Party (NWPP) Narayan Man Bijukche has said that the democratic republic modeled by the big parties would not give any relief to the poor Nepalis.

Addressing the inaugural function of the party's fifth national convention in the capital Friday, Bijukchhe further said the federalism proposed in the interim constitution would disintegrate Nepal instead of making it stronger.

He accused the bigger parties of applying the model prepared by foreigners, which he said was to meet their vested interests. He also challenged the UML, Maoists and other communist groups to begin socialist reforms in the country at a time when the constituent assembly has two-third communist majority.

Citing the recent disaster brought about by the bursting of dam in Sapta Koshi, Bijukchhe predicted such incidents would recur in future as well. nepalnews.com ia Aug 22 08
