Self-centered politics

The Himalayan Times

5 October 2012

One should not get surprised if the political parties, who were in the dead CA, failed to forge a consensus within the next two weeks as reported in “Parties failing to do what they got to do” (THT, Oct.3, Page 1). They do not seem serious and feel any pressure on resolving the political and constitutional crisis so soon. They are interested in their own petty political interest. Who is to lead the next government have been their priority agenda rather than concentrating their effort on resolving the outstanding political problems.

None of the major political parties want to loosen their stands for claiming the PM’s chair. Opposition do not want to backtrack from their earlier stands claiming Baburam Bhattarai (BRB) should immediately resign for creating conducive environment for coming to a political consensus and paving the passage for the formation of a national government. The coalition partners continue to claim that unless there would be a package deal on the political and constitutional issues, BRB led government would not resign at any cost.

During the last four and half years, none of the so called big parties seemed serious in bringing out new constitution. They simply spent the precious time in self and party-centred politics. Had they been serious in both the peace and new constitution drafting processes, they could have easily done so during the mandated time. For whose sake, they continue to show irresponsible and immature political acts has been the people’s concern. Are any of the so called senior leaders acting under the internal and external influences to destabilize the nation? If not, why don’t they concentrate their efforts on resolving the political and constitutional crisis for the sake of the nation and its people?
