Maoist Center's general convention is not a formal ritual: Shrestha

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Dec. 26: Narayan Kaji Shreshtha, vice-chairman of CPN (Maoist Center) has viewed that the eighth General Convention of the CPN (Maoist Center) is not a ritual for formality.

Leader Shrestha said so while addressing the inaugural session of the general convention.

He said the general convention will lay the basis for the formation of a new revolutionary party.

"General Convention is not a formal ritual. We are here for building a new base of a new revolutionary party," he said, "Our convention will come up with ways to address the problems of our country."

He pointed at the need for a retrospection among leaders and parties and necessary changes so as to bring about a great change in the country.

Social-economic achievements can be made only when the leaders change themselves and work for it, he said.
