No more lame excuse


The Himalayan Times

It was not surprising to hear Dr. Baburam Bhattarai (BRB) blaming oppositions for failing to meet people’s aspirations while gloating over his achievements made in the past one year as reported in “PM gloats over his feats, glosses over fiascos” (THT, Aug.29, Page 1). He did not even spare making mockery of the country’s judicial system blaming them for dragging every government’s decisions to the court and doing as much as possible to get stayed. What a lame excuse? Lashing out others for his failure to lead the nation properly, it seemed that he was trying to portray his government far more successful than the other previous governments.

If I am not wrong, it might be the reasons for the people to get disheartened because they had expected too much from him as compared to the other former PMs. However, without being biased, there do not seem one single key achievement made in favour of the peace and new constitution drafting processes which were the prime jobs to be completed during the last one year.  Instead of drafting the new constitution, Constitution Assembly itself was put to death bed. The peace process was stalled due to his poor managerial competencies. He completely failed in creating conducive political environment by forging consensus with the oppositions and shortening the transitional period.

It is the high time for him to establish cordial and conducive political environment with the opposition for speedily resolving the current political and constitutional crisis rather than playing a blame game.
