Another coalition
The clock has started ticking for the three
major parties, after the President gave them one week’s time, to choose a new
Prime Minister (PM) on the basis of political consensus “Prez gives parties one
week to find consensus PM” (THT, 26 July, Page 1). There was some hue and cry
situation in the parliament after PM Oli decided first to face the no
confidence motion registered by CPN-Maoist Centre and NC. However, he changed
his mind later and tendered his resignation.
Time has come for the Big Three to show
their political acumen keeping the nation and its people at the centre stage. So
far, they have not shown any political sincerity towards addressing the
national interest just because of their egoistic and self-centred politics. And,
judging by their past political attitudes and existing political polarizations
among them, the formation of a consensus government seems to be a distant possibility.
The next coalition government supposedly to
be first led by Prachanda will not have, for sure, pleasure time. It needs to
swiftly act to bring the agitating forces on the negotiating table and resolve
the outstanding political and constitution problems. The delayed reconstruction
programme should be geared up without wasting any more time.
