President Complains About Legislature Not Electing Prime Minister

Issue 30, July 25, 2010


By KTM Metro Reporter

July 24, 2010: in a regular meeting with the Prime Minister, President Ram Baran Yadav has concerned with the legislature not electing a new Prime Minister. Mr. President is the one that has brought the current political mess abusing the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007. If he is sincere and really has concern for the sweeping away the political mess then he needs to gracefully resign from the presidency.

The political leaders could not break the current deadlock on electing a Prime Minister even by a majority vote, as the three leaders such as Prachanda, Ram Chandra Poudel and Jahlanath Khanal don’t permit one another to get elected even though each of them knows that they cannot get elected without the support of one or another. Despite everybody knowing the need for the consensus politics they have opted for going head-on collision until they break up their heads.

Ram Chandra Poudel has started off criticizing the CPN-UML leaders for not supporting him for getting elected to Prime Minister. He thinks that it is the time for him to be a Prime Minister as the CPN-UML has already got the chance of making Mr. Madhav Nepal a Prime Minister. His chance of getting elected will be high if he can meet the concerns of the CPN-UML and the Madheshi leaders have.

At the same time, Chairman of CPN-UML Jhalanath Khanal has criticized the NC leaders and Ram Chandra Poudel for not supporting him even though he has almost garner the two-thirds majority. He believes that if the NC leaders have been sincere to the consensus politics he would have been a Prime minister of two-thirds majority; however, the NC leaders have stuck to the chance of leading a new government.

The Madhav government had done nothing useful to the Nepalis during the last thirteen months. He has not enforced several court rulings on the cases of dalits. Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) and the local human rights have severally criticized the government for not enforcing the court rulings on the dalits. Some people question, “do we really need such a government whether it is of a simple majority or of a two-third majority?”
