No Alternative Government
BY KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On December 30, 2008, speaking at a program Deputy Prime Minister Bamdev Gautam said that he could not see any alternative government to the current government. He said if all other political parties were to form a coalition government then they might be able to take an oath of the office at the International Convention Center in other words the Constituent Assembly, and sit at the Singhdurbar i.e. the government secretariat but the governance of such a government would be limited to the Kathmandu Valley.
If the Nepali Congress (NC) leaders could convince the leaders of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist and Leninist (CPN-UML) and the leaders of the Madheshi People’s Rights Forum (MPRF) to pull out of the current government then they might form a new coalition of the NC, CPN-UML and MPRF. However, General Secretary of the CPN-UML Jhalanath Khanal has been saying in the public that his party has no intention to pull out of the government until the goal of crafting a new constitution, achieving a lasting peace, restructuring the State and transforming the socio-economic status of the country is achieved.
The Central Committee of the Nepali Congress decided to talk with other political parties except for the Maoists to see what they could do to put pressure on the current government for achieving their goal. At the same time the NC members of the Constituent Assembly continued to boycott the sessions of the Constituent Assembly.
