Kudos to the Supreme Court for slapping political parties, who had extended CA’s term for three times in their own, with its recent historical decision with regard to the CA’s final extension. Its verdict was a massive blow to the major political parties which had acted irresponsibly during the last three and half years. They remained united only for arbitrarily extending CA’s term for the third time.

Many deals were signed among them in the name of consensus politics. None of the deals were properly implemented. This time, they (NC, UML, UCPN(M) and United Mdhes Front) have signed another six-point deal as reported in “Six-month extension after six-point deal (THT, Nov.30, Page 1). However, the PM Bhattarai and DPM Gachhedar had completely ruled out the next day about the possibility of new government. On the other side, NC (one of the signatories of six-point deal) has started publicly claiming the leadership of the next government. What kind of political drama is this? It seems that they continue to play power politics rather than engaging themselves in constructive politics.

The general public is of the opinion that the six months extended period would be spent for only perks and benefits of lawmakers as they had done in the past.
