Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said the party would be strengthened only if it works for the welfare of the Nepali people placing them at the center.
Inaugurating the District Conference of Nepali Congress Kaski in Pokhara today, he said that people are supreme in democracy.
Stating that the NC was a party established to carry out the work of the Nepali people, Deuba stressed the need to reach out to the common people in the nooks and corners of the country and support them in their happiness and sorrow.
"Unity within the party is a must to establish NC a big party", he said, adding, "NC must move ahead in unison to protect nation, nationality, democracy and the party".
He said the political coalition was formed in the political context of the country. He also stressed the need of unity among pro-democratic forces to safeguard the democratic constitution.
Deuba further said the Maoists were brought to the democratic process through the peace accord.
"The Nepal Constitution has provided equal participation to all castes and 33 percent women's participation has been provided at every level of the state," he said. Stating that the Constitution has made it mandatory for every municipality to have a woman chief or deputy mayor, Deuba claimed that such a provision was not made in the constitution of any other nation.
