No Alternative To Fresh Election In Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
June 27, 2012: a 6-member team of civil society leaders: Daman Nath Dhungana, Padma Ratna Tuladhar, Dr Sundar Mani Dixit, Dr Mathura Shrestha, CK Lal and Shyam Shrestha met with Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai at his Baluwatar official residence yesterday and suggested the Prime Minister to build a consensus on holding a fresh election to a new Constituent Assembly for promulgating a new constitution through the CA, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today writes. "We were invited by the Prime Minister for our views to solve present crisis. We advised that initiatives by the Prime Minister were needed at the moment to solve the problems by striking consensus among the political parties," civil society member Shyam Shrestha told The Rising Nepal after the meeting.
Everybody including the so-called civil society leaders should understand from the last four-political drama that building a consensus among the political leaders had been next to impossible; so, the only solution left is to go to the fresh election to a new CA and seek fresh mandate from the people; no other alternative is available, now.
The most funny politics played by the NC and CPN-UML is naming the next prime minister indicating these opposition guys are interested in nothing but the person going to be a new prime minister. If these guys understand politics then they need to go to the fresh election rather than thinking to grab the power that the prime minister is not going to give them. In absence of a parliament, they could not play the number game, too. Only alternative left to them is to protest that would not work in the current circumstances.
Talking to reporters at the Tribhuvan University’s Teaching Hospital at Maharajgunj, Chairman of CPN-UML Jhalanath Khanal yesterday urged Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai to give up his child-like adamant and pave the way for a national consensus. "If he has come up with any new strength and message from Brazil, they will not work here, the Prime Minister should understand this," ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today quotes Mr. Khanal as saying.
Mr. Khanal as a mature politician should know that the opposition demand made without following the rule of law for the resignation of the prime minister is nothing but a childish demand that would not work. Prime Minister Dr. Bhattarai is correct in saying that the opposition demand for his resignation is nothing but a childish.
