"Stop
enacting such dramas. I have seen them many times before." Girija Prasad Koirala, criticizing the Election Commission's
delay in awarding the party symbol and flag to either of the two Nepali Congress factions
fighting over them, in Bimarsha. * * * "We
were surprised to read that Girija Prasad Koirala is going to organize a movement." Achyut Narayan Rajbhandari, Chief Election Commissioner, on
newspaper reports quoting the former prime minister as saying he would organize a movement
in case his faction of the Nepali Congress is denied the official party symbol tree and
party flag, in Gorkhapatra. * * * "The
UML's majority is the alternative of the hour. This is not merely our claim, but the
historical necessity." Ishwor Pokharel, senior leader of the Unified
Marxist-Leninist (UML), in Drishti. * * * "Deuba
should cease dreaming of winning the election by rigging it." Rabindra Nath Sharma, former minister and leader of Rastriya
Prajatantra Party, in Himalaya Times. * * * "Initially
they (Maoists) had the benefit of the doubt. People tolerated them thinking they were
leading a rebellion against discrimination. But later when they started destroying
physical and development infrastructure, they acted even worse than enemies of the
country." Bharat Keshar Singh, retired general and honorary ADC to His
Majesty the King, saying there was no way the Maoists could be permitted to take part in
election unless they surrender, in Deshantar. * * * "I

society. Tell me, which smuggler can boast of such prestige?" Shanti Maskey, senior film artiste, saying that though she
didn't earn much material wealth, her three-decade career in Nepalese films was hugely
beneficial, in Bimarsha.
