By KTM Metro Reporter
September 26, 2012: speaking to the reporters at Biratnagar today, Minister for Health Rajendra Mahato said that if the president (head of state) were to involve in changing the current government then the president would put his office at risk, as Mahato’s Sadbhavana party would launch street protests against the president. Minister Mahato also told the reporters that the opposition would not be able to topple the government; it was the wishful thinking of the opposition leaders, and they would be wasting their time and energy launching the street protests in the hope of toppling the current government, according to ‘THT ONLINE’.
Minister Mahato disagreed on the opposition’s attempt on dislodging the government from the streets in a democratic system of governance. The only way to change a government is elections. The opposition is afraid of going to people for asking the people’s mandate, as they have done nothing for the people but they have done everything to collect money from the people.
Minister Mahato also said that the current government would not quit the office until the opposition could build a consensus on various contentious issues concerning a new constitution and federalism. However, Minister Mahato said that the government would give the way to the opposition to form a new government if the opposition leaders agree on all contentious issues.
