Power Struggle In NC Party And Nepalese Politics
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 20, 2011: speaking to the reporters in Kathmandu yesterday, NC Parliamentary Party (PP) leader Ram Chandra Poudel has said that the tussle for the post of PP leader would only ruin the unity and harmony in the party, and it will only disappoint the party leaders and cadres working at the grassroots, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today writes.
The PP position Mr. Poudel has been currently holding has been the target of Former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba that has been lobbying to unseat the PP leader Poudel. Mr. Deuba believes that he could build a consensus on his candidate for a prime minister if he could capture the position of the PP leader, as the statute of the NC makes only the PP leader eligible for the position of a prime minister.
Mr. Poudel has said that unseating him from the PP leader means the ruin of the NC party; nobody in his party is ready for that.
So far, the standard practice of the unscrupulous and corrupt leaders of any political party in Nepal has been to create troubles to get into the power not thinking about the cost to their party not to mention the cost to the nation.
The NC has been bearing a huge political loss due to its wrong strategy of supporting the most unscrupulous Madhav Nepal for the prime minister and supporting him to be in power for 20 months in the past. The NC has been facing hardship to cope with the loss caused by such a wrong strategy.
If the NC again follows a wrong strategy of unseating the current PP leader for paving the way for Deuba to be the next PP and then a prime minister means certainly a political disastrous to the NC.
Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal has been waiting for anybody to build a consensus on a new prime minister to quit the office as agreed on the five-point deal the three major political parties have reached on the night of May 28, 2011. It has caused a political deadlock means nothing is moving toward the peace process and completing the writing of a new constitution.
Speaker Subash Nemwang has been optimistic to break the current deadlock because leaders have been inching toward building a consensus on a new government.
Chairman of UCPN-Maoist Prachanda has yesterday morning met with NC president Sushil Koirala at the resident of Koirala in Maharajgunj and have agreed on enforcing the five-point deal obviously to break the political deadlock.
