Indecisive battle

The Himalayan Times

18 January 2013

The decision of opposition parties including NC and UML to hit the streets beginning January 19, as reported in “Opposition parties set to hit the streets to oust govt” (THT, January 16), to oust Dr. Baburam Bhattarai (BRB) led coalition government will remain nothing but to offering him more time to stay in PM’s chair rather than ousting him. This will remain a fruitless effort of the opposition and bear no concrete result in their plan considering at this time the degree of enthusiasm of the general people. They (the people) are tired of both the government and the opposition who completely betrayed their sentiments, hardships and difficult days with the sky-rocketed market prices, acute power shortage, and acute shortages of drinking water, complete loss of law and order situation.

If we carefully looked in the past, what did the opposition do to fight with the government to control and minimize these difficulties? Because of their insensible and irresponsible acts, BRB with the support of United Mashesi Front played political trick to mercilessly kill the CA without achieving its objective. Both the government and the opposition are equally responsible for the ongoing political stalemate and the constitutional crisis. Why should the people join with the opposition in the streets for their claim to simply oust the government? There is, no doubt, that the BRB led government should go sooner than later by judging its autocratic, anti-people and anti-national performances.
