Now it should not be called this and that side. An environment should be created for the convention. For that, if possible, a meeting of the Central Working Committee should be called before Dasain. No, if the meeting was to be extended for three or four days, it should have been called after Dasain. If the Chairman could not call, the Deputy Chairman had to call.

A signature campaign has started since Sunday, saying that a special convention should be called immediately amid the new political situation in the Congress. After Gen-G agitation, General Minister Gagan Thapa and Vishwaprakash Sharma started signing amid the disagreements of the founding party with the conclusion that policy and leadership transformation is necessary within the party. A question has been raised as to where the leader Shekhar Koirala is in this dispute between the establishment party and the General Minister. In this context, Kulchandra Neupane of Kantipur had a brief conversation with him.
After the Gen-G movement, a special convention is being initiated under the leadership of two chief ministers, demanding the reorganization of the Congress, where are you on this issue?
Where I was yesterday, I am today. Since two years ago, I have been raising the issue of regular convention . The party has been speaking in the central working committee and in public that there should be a regular convention within the coming November. I am determined that a convention should be held soon after the Zen-G movement. If possible, let's hold a regular convention in November, as the term of the current working committee ends in November, let's not extend the term now. If the regular convention is not held, the central working committee can also call for a special convention. For that, a party meeting should be called and a discussion should be held first. Now we should not prolong the convention. Before the election, we should go to the election with a new leadership after completing the convention. Are they looking for you while signatures are being collected for the
special convention?
should no longer be known as this and that side . An environment should be created for the convention. For that, if possible, a meeting of the central working committee should be called before Dasain. No, if the meeting is to be extended for three or four days, it should be called after Dasain. If the chairman could not call, the deputy chairman had to call. The Central Working Committee should decide whether to hold a regular convention or a special convention in November. If the new active membership is not decided, the regular convention can be held by the representatives of the 14th convention. A meeting of the central working committee should be called immediately to take a decision on that.
The issues raised by the Gen-G movement and their aspirations can no longer be addressed by the old generation, there is a voice that the young generation should be given the leadership, isn't it?
This is not just an issue of transliteration. If you say that the old leadership can't do it anymore, let's look at the faces of the ministers participating in the current interim government, let's look at their age. Therefore, the question is not only about translation. If we look at the structure within our party, apart from the chairman, the deputy chairman, general minister, joint general ministers are all young people who represent the Gen-G generation . The main demand of the Gen-G movement is against corruption and corruption. It is in the direction of creating employment opportunities in the country. Understanding this, we have to make radical changes in the party's policy formulation and program. The government has to work accordingly. The Sushila Karki-led government was formed only to hold elections. It should hold elections within 6 months. Leaving the work of election and trying to use too many hands and feet will bring problems . So our first, second and third priority is elections, elections and elections.
There is also an opinion coming from the political parties that the dissolution of the parliament and the formation of the government should not go to the election as unconstitutional.
Political parties do not run away from elections. Political parties should put pressure on the government to lead to the elections without allowing it to go right and left. There is no option to go to the election to bring the constitution to the table. It is necessary for the Congress to hold a meeting soon and make a clear opinion about this.
