Reasons for CA failure
I think the major political parties
including Madhes based parties should have now realised that to forcefully
install the concept of federalism in Nepal was one of the main reasons behind complete
failure of the erstwhile CA that had to be ended without drafting the new
constitution. It did not seem feasible by any means to be instituted in such a
small and poverty ridden country.
Was it necessary to follow the same suit of
one party by the others in the name of new Nepal where multi-cultural, multi-religion and
multi-racial groups of people used to harmoniously live for decades?
Accordingly, was it necessary for NC to spend its valuable time on such an
impracticable issue as reported in the news report “NC polishing its policy on
federal model” (THT, 11 July, Page1) rather than fruitfully spending its time
on resolving other political problems?
The current leaderships in NC have
completely deviated from the BP Koirala led political philosophy and have been flowing
with other parties’ political agenda. As a result, it is loosing its popularity
and trust among its voters and may further erode if it continues to join hands
with other leftist parties in their political manifestations. It should have learned
the lessons from the erstwhile CA election as to why it was defeated.
