He says that even though the republic has many weaknesses, there is no alternative to it. Brief conversation with Yadav:
Since the establishment of the republic in the country, how have you seen it?
There were many expectations and hopes when the Republic was established . A republican system is not what it should be. People had high expectations. couldn't happen But it cannot be said that nothing has happened in the country. Now everyone can work and speak freely. Now the monarchists are able to speak because of the republican system . Before the mass movement, who could speak in the king's tent? Now, both monarchists and republicans are able to talk with fun.
Why was the question raised about the republic?
The kind of democratic style that should be within the major political parties. Didn't happen. The leaders of major parties should be honest towards the country and the nation. could not be They focused on gaining more power. The leading leaders did not seem to be sincere towards the people and development. Corruption should be controlled in the country. not happening But despite these shortcomings, a monarchy cannot be an alternative to a republic. No matter how weak it is, the monarchy cannot be imagined as an alternative to the democratic republic. The deficiencies in this system should be rectified.
What is the reason for not being able to prepare a strong base of the republic?
The federal republic must be reformed. There is a lot of corruption in those levels of government. Those governments are plagued by corruption. As if the state and local governments have won the union to do corruption. We said that we will establish Singha Durbar in each village. Now, in some cases, it seems like small royal palaces in the villages. There can be no other system as beautiful as a democratic republic. Establishing a monarchy in the country is unthinkable in the present situation.
This seems to be a distaste for the system, isn't it?
The actions of the leaders of the major parties have caused distaste among the general public. The parties had to institutionalize the republic and run according to the will of the people. The working style and conduct of the leaders of major parties had to be improved. Speech behavior should be improved . There had to be a common consensus to strengthen the republican system . Good governance should be strictly implemented in the country and the corrupt should be severely punished. There should be an end to various discriminations and social reforms. Even if this happens, the democratic republic will become stronger.
