A senior leader of Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) has said that his party should unite with Maoists ahead of Constituent Assembly (CA) elections.

Bamdev Gautam, a standing committee member, said that the UML should be united with the Maoists to ensure republic in the country.

Speaking at the 15th central committee meeting of the UML, on Tuesday, Gautam said other parties including the Nepali Congress (NC) were regressive and wanted some kind of monarchy.

Gautam said he was continuing efforts to unite with the Maoists.

Meanwhile, at the central committee meeting, general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal presented his political report in which he has blamed both NC and Maoists for the troubles in the country. He has termed NC as status-quoist while he said Maoists were extreme leftists.
