Congress.. Congress..
In real sense, the democracy of Nepal
is in a test. It is not because the people are on the
road with agitations and movements. It is also not
true that army is in revolt against the system. And it is
also not true that the invisible power hatching
conspiracy to overthrow the democratic system. But the
main problem at the moment is government and equation of
political parties to govern the country. The creation and
devolution of political parties are the salient features
of democratic norms. There is no hard and fast rule for
having numbers of political parties in the country as per
the size and economic conditions of the country. The
number will be determined by the will and political
maturity of the people. Very recently two more political
parties emerged in Nepal. It is obvious that creation is
devolution of some things, is the rule of natural
science. Because of this change, the position of
parliamentarian parties changed and the congress has
become number one from number two. This also qualifies
the congress to form government with preference as per
the Constitutional provisions . Congress is also an
equation partner and is waiting to form government as per
their agreements with its coalition partners. Now the
change will take place very soon - in a few days; not
even in weeks. It is for sure that another government
will definitely headed by Nepali Congress.
The new government will play as turning
point for congress. The existence and development of
congress lies in the hands of forthcoming congress led
governments. The past shows that the importance of
congress was diminished by congress themselves. When
people gave mandate to the party with clear majority
having elected 114 members in 206 member parliament, they
called for mid-term poll because of conflict within party
power blocks. People gave mandate to the party, but
government was run by kitchen government of the boss. The
force retirement of staff machinery on personal vendetta
was one of the black days of historical party congress
and its government. That was the one of the main factor
of congress debacle in mid-term poll. Another factor was,
the treatment to party and party activists in the hands
of immature advisers of kitchen cabinet resulted ruin the
party and its prospect in mid-term poll. At the moment,
the party President, Mr Girija Prasad Koirala is the most
appropriate candidate for the post of Prime Minister. He
has seen all the ups and downs of history in party and
personal life. He is one of the most dedicated
nationalist leader. He is determined for development of
the nation. The nation is hoping for him to remove Pajero
culture, imposition of immature ministers and advisors,
corruptions and politicising in staff machinery.
