POWER POLITICS AGAIN

It was unsurprising to know that the big political parties have once again started playing the old dirty game of numerical power politics causing another political uncertainty in the country. The implementation of new charter has become more uncertain after this dramatic turn of events. CPN (Maoist Centre) was finding it difficult to change its political position for some time considering its unhappiness with the performance of the Oli led government. Finally, it decided to withdraw its support to the government with immediate effect (“Maoist Centre pulls out of govt” 13 July, Page 1).

It is natural, in a parliamentary democracy, to see change of government based on its performance. It did not seem that the Oli led government was performing well in the last nine months. It had failed to implement the reconstruction programme, control black marketeering and take the initiatives of implementing the new constitution. It had also failed to resolve the political and constitutional problems with the disgruntled parties. Prime Minister Oli had raised the expectations to an unusual degree of the common people by making many unnatural and false promises. By unnecessarily splitting the ministries for his government to be in majority and to remain longer in the office, he had undermined the new constitution and grossly misused the state coffer for meeting the administrative expenses of new ministries and his 40-plus ministers.

One should not get surprised to see the new government with the same old faces who had also failed to prove better. However, the next government has to come forward with detailed plan for implementing new constitution within the next one and half years. It should not delay to resolve the political and constitutional problems with the agitating forces for holding the local level election on time. It also should speed up the reconstruction programme to save many innocent lives during the monsoon. Otherwise, the people will start losing their faith in the major political parties, which could be detrimental to their political existence.

Where are we leading the young students who are considered to be the future pillars of the nation? Why do not the ruling parties become ...
