Nepali Congress’ dubious role

Nepali Congress’ dubious role

Politically, the year 2077 was not favourable for the ruling party, the then Nepali Communist Party (NCP), even being almost two-third majority party, due to the undemocratic, irresponsible and insensible political acts of its senior leaders, thus pushing the nation towards political uncertainty. The Supreme Court’s (SC) decision to nullify its unification compelled both the then UML and the then Maoist-Centre to virtually split which, in fact, were never merged in reality because of their different political ideologies and principles. 

On the other hand, the Nepali Congress (NC) failed to carry out its opposition role both in the House and in the streets for addressing the national and people’s issues and concerns. In fact, the people had voted it to play an opposition role so that the two-third majority powerful communist government would not be deviated from its constitutional responsibilities. It did not happen. Instead, it acted as a coalition partner of the government clandestinely sharing the nominations of constitutional bodies and ambassadorial positions. Its ambiguous role in the current politics has remained dubious favouring PM Oli’s government to continue “Not keen on becoming PM: Deuba” (THT, 19 April, Page 1).
