Left analyst Jhalak Subedi says that the government's one-year work has not risen above the task. Subedi says that since there is cooperation between the two big parties in the government and competition outside, there is also the risk of not doing good work and there is also the risk of not doing good work.

Kulchandra Neupane of Kantipur's conversation with analyst Subedi about what progress has been made on the priorities set by the government in one year of government:  How do you see the one-year work of the KP Oli-led government? One of the main goals of the government is well accomplished, isn't it? That is, to continue forming the government. This coalition has formed a government and so far there are no signs of major conflict, bitterness, or immediate coalition changes between the parties. This is the good part. Looking at the situation so far, this coalition seems likely to run the government for the remaining four years, if there is no major accident. 

But since the formation of the government, why is there only a discussion about 'today it will collapse, tomorrow it will collapse' or 'will this coalition last or not'?

This is for psychological reasons. Due to the role that India used to play in the internal politics of Nepal, there has been a mentality among Nepalis that India does not allow the Nepali Congress and UML to walk together or separates the Congress to prevent Oli from becoming the Prime Minister. There is an opinion that India does not like Oli as the Prime Minister and at some point in the meantime, India can topple this government by playing within the Congress. This is why it is said that 'today falls, tomorrow it falls'. Some may even say that the Indian lobby has run such a thing .

What do you think are the challenges of the alliance?

This alliance is not easy. The problem with two major parties, Nepali Congress and UML, walking together is that they will compete against each other in the upcoming elections. These are the main competitive forces. If the government under the leadership of Oli does a good job, it will go to the UML, and the Congress will be shaken . Similarly, if the Congress minister does a good job, UML is worried.

For example, some time ago the government brought 6 ordinances to amend some Nepal Acts and create an investment-friendly environment . That's why Thapa got more. UML thought, 'What we tried to reform the government went to Gagan.  Such a contradiction appears. Similarly, tension was also seen in the BRI agreement with China. Congress raised a loud voice saying 'debt, debt, debt'. UML also showed sensitivity on this issue . Such things have made the alliance complicated. 

It was expected that there would be good results when the two big parties came together, but in your opinion, when the competing parties form the government together, they are unable to do anything? is a

. When two big parties get together, there is a danger that one will prevent the other from doing good work . Like, the matter of Deepak Khadka . Despite his infamy, Oli is protecting him. Congress is more likely to suffer defamation. However, Pradeep Paudel of Congress is making good efforts in the health sector. His team seems to have done their homework and put in a good effort . But when it comes to that, on social media, sometimes UML tries to give the prime minister, sometimes Congress asserts itself.

is the biggest challenge of this alliance. Another thing, the Congress has an option to leave this alliance and form the government with the help of small parties. According to the general parliamentary tradition, the largest party, the Congress, should lead the government, but the opposite is happening here. So some people think that Congress can form a government apart from UML in collaboration with Maoists or RSVP. In such a situation, there may be a risk of becoming more unstable. 

Good governance was a very big issue, how do you see the government's progress in this area?

In the field of good governance, it can be said that this government has become lazy. Balkrishna Khan's behavior in the Bhutanese refugee case, keeping Deepak Khadka as a minister (due to fraud on Scout's land and conflict of interest in the role of water resources minister) has weakened good governance .

The decision not to prosecute the then minister of Koshi, Lilabalbh Adhikari, who was accused of human trafficking, the child temple and the Bansbari visit visa case, the government seems weak in governance. Ramesh should have asked the writer to resign or he should have voluntarily resigned after the Ministry of Home Affairs came under the overall investigation in the last visit visa case. 

The prime minister has created a powerful commission under his own chairmanship to do something about good governance.

This commission seems like a show . The Prime Minister has many ways to reform government, but there is a lack of solid planning and implementation. Even in the case of Mohammad Aftab Alam of Rautahat, the legal process could not be made effective .

On the one hand, forming a commission, on the other hand, the government's commitment has been raised by not making the property details of its own ministers public. Civil society should be able to do public auditing. If the wealth of leaders can be made public and compared, transparency will come in the question of corruption . 

The constitutional amendment was put in the head when the coalition was formed, but it did not start even for a year.

The proposal to amend the constitution came suddenly. It doesn't seem like it was brought after reviewing the implementation of the constitution in 10 years. This proposal was based on the petty political interests of the ruling parties . In its interior, the proportional electoral system and the threshold were targeted, which seemed to be used by the big parties by weakening the smaller parties. The proportional system envisages an inclusive state, but attempts have been made to undermine it. It was a short-sighted and ill-intentioned proposal, so it could not proceed . Congress has now tried to cover the shame by forming a task force.
