The Nepali Communist Movement achieved its present height, struggling with feudalistic, regressive, autocratic and anti-people forces by promoting and adopting the unique and right thought through the creative practise of ideology instead of blindly and mechanistically following it."

I also express my heartfelt gratitude to all the Nepali people who have reposed their faith and supported the NCP by trusting it," the NCP Chair and Prime Minister said in his message.
