Political
tussle continues
Nepal
has been practicing its federalism for the last one year soon after the
completion of three tiers of elections. Accordingly, local, provincial and
federal governments are in place in line with the new constitution. Most of the
three tiers of governments are in the hands of the Nepal Communist Party. The Nepali
Congress could not perform well during the elections because of its intra-party
feud and factionalism. Since then, the K.P. Oli led two thirds majority
government is at the political helm that seems to be not performing well as per
the people’s expectations.
In the mean time, it seems the ruling party
does not want to bow down an inch in incorporating its own agreements made with
Dr. K.C in the past regarding the
National Medical Education Bill (NMEB). The main opposition wants to see the
government endorsing the bill without any deviations. This situation has
invited political tussle between them, resulting in the obstruction of the House
“NC stalls House over medical bill, hospitals” (THT January 22, Page 1).
NC
boss Sher Bahadur Deuba has threatened to launch a fresh agitation in protest
of the communist government’s high handedness in state affairs and failure to
put rapists and other culprits behind bars. Having mentioned all these issues, time
seems to be running out for the government in cleaning its blurred image if it continues
to flex its political muscle and fails to listen to the people’s voices in the
days to come.
