The Constituent Assembly (CA) Constitutional-Political Dialogue and Consensus (CPDC) Committee Chairperson Dr Baburam Bhattarai has said that the political parties are nearing a consensus regarding the adoption of an inclusive and socialism-oriented economy.

During his meeting with business reporters of a capital-based national media on Monday, Dr Bhattarai claimed that it was agreed at the political level that socialism-oriented capitalistic economy would be the main base for the country's economic policy.

Political parties have accepted the fact that the State should establish education, health, employment and food security as fundamental rights of the citizens and invest in these sectors.

It must be realised that classical capitalism is not enough to address the problems of poverty and unemployment, he added.

On the occasion, the journalists suggested that the CA give attention to financial aspect of the nation and hold broad discussions about the sharing of natural resources to prevent possible disputes to that end in the future.
