Baburam Bhattarai lays out what ought to be done for holding elections

Presenting a concept paper at an interaction organised by his party, the former prime minister said that local polls should be held by provincial governments and if that was not possible then all three types of elections — parliamentary, provincial and local level polls — should be held simultaneously.
Bhattarai said holding all types of elections would also save the government of a lot of money. Holding three types of elections separately could cost the government almost a trillion rupees, he argued. Bhattarai demanded that an all-party government be formed to hold polls in a fair and effective manner.

“Such a government will have participation of political parties and I do not mean that such government should be led by the chief justice,” he clarified.
Bhattarai said an all-party government was needed for holding polls for the ruling parties lacked credibility and were indulging in corrupt practices. Bhattarai said the ruling parties did not have the capacity to hold polls in a way that could promote unity.

He also said the government must provide certain fund to political parties during elections and it should also strictly enforce compliance with election code of conduct.
