Dirty games in the name of politics
Since the Central Committee meeting of the Nepali Congress decided to make efforts to form an alternative government under its leadership, Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda, who is a well-known player in conspiracy politics, has been highly encouraged. He sees the possibility of the formation of an alternative government. In fact, Prachanda cannot remain in the political spectrum without power. Prachanda has some compulsions. He is involved in heinous violation of human rights as well as many other corruption scams including misusing 21 billion rupees on the cantonment scam. If he fails to remain either in the government or in the main opposition party, at any time, CIAA may open the files. When Lokman Singh Karki attempted to catch big fishes, he had to face impeachment. The reason is clear. The present system and existence of the present political parties are thus obvious for the senior leaders in all the political parties to avoid corruption charges or to keep closed the files under the CIAA.
Unholy games:
Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli wants to save his government with the support of the Janata
Samajbadi Party. He is ready to fulfil the political demands put forward by JSP including the release of Resham Chaudhari who is facing a jail term on the murder charge.
Prachanda, on the other hand, has assured JSP leaders to fulfil their demands immediately after the formation of an alternative government. As Oli and Prachanda competing to influence JSP, the JSP leaders are playing with both sections. Even if the Oli led government will continue, the nation can get nothing further except anarchism. Also, we cannot hope for anything good from the new coalition government supposedly led by NC. Furthermore, from the NC led coalition government we cannot expect anything good. The best alternate could be a mid-term poll. In a democracy, to go to the voters is the best option if the government cannot get a clear mandate to rule.
Also, a prime minister of a democratic country should have the prerogative to dissolve the House and go for a fresh mandate. As the present system has been promulgated by recognizing the rebellion Maoists, the system is neither a democratic nor a communist. This is the result of Girija Prasad Koirala’s acceptance in recognizing the existence of the Maoists. In other words, NC, through the 12-point agreement and later, through the comprehensive peace agreement, had adopted the Maoist agenda by discarding the democratic values.
The SC politics:
As we see the politicisation of all the constitutional organs, the Supreme Court is not an exception. The partition politics existed in the court also. The court has played a remarkable role to create such a political mess in the country.
The Maoist Center is unable to file a noconfidence motion against the Oli led government. The party had planned to file the no-confidence motion on Sunday, when the party was unable to manage the necessary number to form an alternative government, the plan is impending.
The Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) is the kingmaker and both Oli and Prachanda are competing to influence the JSP leaders.
Although the Nepali Congress central committee, under the pressure of Ramchandra Poudel and Krishna Shitaula, decided for initiating a coalition government, president Sher Bahadur Deuba is reluctant in joining hands with the Maoist Center and JSP to run the government. Deuba is in favour of a fresh election as he believes this is a favourable time to go for election for the party.
