Nepali Communist Party Nepal- Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN UML) standing committee member Bam Dev Gautam has claimed that monarchy in Nepal will end within one year.

Gautam was quoted by Thursday's English newspaper, The Himalayan Times, as saying that the election to the Constituent Assembly will be the end of monarchy.

Addressing a meeting on Wednesday, Gautam said that the country will enter into the democratic republic system after the House of Representatives proclamation.

He also said that Nepalese people can have a bright future only in democracy.

According to Gautam, the seven-party alliance should join hands with the anti-government guerrillas to form an eight-party alliance to finish the monarchy in Nepal.
