15 days ago, when Sumana Shrestha submitted her resignation to the party president, she hardly thought that the news of her resignation would come out before the central committee meeting held on Thursday. But as soon as the news of his resignation came out, Sumana has made the impression that this incident was brought out in a planned manner and that someone has done a media trial. Kantipur's brief conversation about the background of his resignation and his subsequent plans:
How will your resignation process proceed?
Khai . It was thought that today's central committee meeting would pass it. But that didn't happen. Just came up in the discussion . I have not been asked anything. Who brought this news out in the morning ? It would be fun to know that.
Why did you resign?
I have also put it on the Viber group of the party after the public interest about the resignation. For everyone to read . My views on that are clear. In the previous national meeting of the party, I also expressed my views on the future leadership of the party and the transfer of the system. At that time I said, it is not customary to say come but not leave the place . It was in that context that I had thoughts on this subject. After Raviji was arrested, it turned out to be the wrong time and nothing was done about it. Later, I said before presiding over the meeting that after Raviji returned, a movement had to be brought on this matter. While conducting the convention, we had to bring capable people from within the party and secondly, we did not understand what we were talking about. It is like the leader of the old party.
Is your theoretical concept that the old leadership should be replaced, and a new leadership should come?
One that happened . Even when I was a minister, I was also the joint chief minister . At that time, I did not even think about the work of the Deputy General Minister. He only played the role of minister. At that time, no one else did the work that the Joint Chief Minister had to do! After that, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to make this decision based on my experience. I have taken this decision from the experience that one person takes too many positions and nothing can be done.
But when your resignation comes when the party chairman is in prison or the party is going through difficult times, did you just think of it as you said? Doesn't this further polarize within the party and ? is
. I gave this before the arrest of the party chairman on Friday. During the conversation before his arrest, he said that he would put the letter of acceptance in this letter on Sunday . After the arrest, I put the matter on hold to the Acting Chairman DP Aryal . This is the bad timing was a special request. But how did this topic come out . I did not call and bring this matter out. Whoever brought this out, it's the wrong time for everyone.
What happens now, the process ?
It was discussed in the central committee meeting today that he resigned. As the executive chairman, we sit down and talk. Then we will reach a decision.
What happens if the resignation is accepted, what happens if not?
I don't think the resignation will be accepted. But I have seen a lot . From the day of acceptance, I will work on my old three priority issues . I have prepared private bills to be submitted to the Parliament. Another thing is to work on law making and the third thing is to make a network by connecting with NRN and do something for Nepal . I was not able to work on it, now I will .
