Hell With Consequences, NC Needs Power: Sushil Koirala
By KTM Metro Reporter
August 22, 2012: Chairman of Rastriya Janashakti Party (RJP) and former Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa today said that the country was plunging to catastrophe, as political parties failed in building a political consensus, and blamed the leaders of the major political parties for the current political stalemate, writes nepalnews.com. The same Thapa that had destroyed the forest in 1980 to make the results of the referendum on the choice between improved Panchayat system and multi-party system in favor of Panchayat did not think at that time that he was leading the country to catastrophe. Mr. Thapa was one of the responsible persons for running the infamous Panchayat system for corruption and for delayed development in Nepal for 30 more years. Only after the people’s movement in 1990, Nepal could make significant social and economic development. Mr. Thapa was one of the corrupt politicians that deserved to be in jail.
President of NC Sushil Koirala said that his party should have a chance of forming a new national consensus government, as his party was able to unite all. So, he demanded the prime minister to quit the office. Rather than speaking irrationally, Mr. Koirala needed to build a national consensus and then go to the Head of State and present the national consensus on forming a new national government to the Head of State, as the Head of State had already told him and his colleagues to do so.
While in Ilam, Mr. Koirala also said that his party was not anti-federalism but he did not comment on why the Limbhuwan cadres had waved black flags to him for protesting against the stand of his party on federalism. If his party agreed on federalism, the CA would have promulgated a new constitution but unfortunately, his party wanted to end the CA rather than giving in to federalism. Nepalese politicians were not less liars than anybody in the world.
President of NC Sushil Koirala defended the Head of State President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav’s rejection of two election-related ordinances, as such rejection saved his party from going to the election to a new CA in which he believed that his party was sure to be a loser. Naturally, Mr. Koirala wanted the State President to reject such ordinances that were for holding the election to a new CA.
Mr Kirala also said that a national government under the leadership of his party was a bottom line for talking about any disputed issues to hell with the consequences for the nation. He was not interested in any thing but power.
Secretary Brinda Hada went to the Supreme Court of Nepal obviously for justice, as she considered her transfer to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) was injustice done to her forgetting such transfer of the state employees was the prerogative of the Council of Ministers. Anyway, Secretary Hada had the rights to file a case against the government seeking justice.
Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai instructed Chief Secretary Pokharel and Secretary to Energy Koirala to come up with a plan to mitigate the power outage in Nepal. The stare-run power company called Nepal Electricity Authority had two days ago increased the weekly power outage to 46 hours that might go on increasing as the water in rivers go on decreasing in the coming dry season.
Former women lawmakers called on the leaders of major political parties to build a national consensus and revive the dissolved CA for promulgating a new constitution to meet the people’s aspirations for political stability and fast economic development.
