Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who addressed the General Assembly organized by the UML at Ghorahi in Dang after addressing the Lumbini State Assembly on Monday, attacked not only the opposition party but also the voters. He was dissatisfied with the people of Dang, "It was your mistake to send Shankar Pokharel after losing the election to other 'Adha Na Sadha' people."

UML candidate Shankar Pokharel was defeated by Maoist Center candidate Rekha Sharma in Dang-2 in the House of Representatives election held in November 2079. In the election, Sharma got 26 thousand 880 votes and Pokharel got 26 thousand 687 votes. UML ranks were shocked by the defeat of Pokharel, who is also the general secretary of UML. Oli reached Dang and discussed the same election results again.

It is relevant to look at Oli's expression from some angles.

First, it is the sovereign right of voters to choose which candidates to win and which to lose. They tend to have their own analysis. The candidate's past role is evaluated, future role is evaluated . The same thing happened in Dang . Sharma was considered excellent in their choice and won. But Oli has insulted the right and choice of voters.

Second, all candidates are equal in status in the election . The issue of who has been nominated for which position in the respective party does not affect the common ground between the candidates and should not be made. The candidate chosen by the voters is the one who is popular, the one who carries the mandate . This is also the meaning of election. In some cases, even a suspect can win the election . At that time, a public question should be raised, there should be a judicial trial . No such question has been raised on Sharma who was elected from Dang-2. But Oli has insulted the candidate who won the election by the people by using abstract vocabulary .

Thirdly, he has said- 'It would have been a bit easier if he had shown so much activity at that time (winning over Shankar Pokharel).' It was easy for me. It was easy for CPN-UML.'' In his expression, there is a message that he is embarrassed because he won over Sharma. Rejecting the elected MP and expressing that it would have been easier if the other one had won shows the Prime Minister's unnecessary revenge towards certain MPs and parliamentary constituencies . This has also insulted the basic values ​​of the election.

Political analyst Uddhav Pyakurel says that it is not right for the Prime Minister to question the selection of voters. "His expression devalues ​​voters, elections and democracy," he told Kantipur.

Trying to convince the voters that their party's candidate is qualified before the election is not considered unnatural . Another practice is to exaggerate the candidate's weaknesses and present them to the voters. But after the election was completed and the results were announced, the Prime Minister asked the voters, "Why did you win the other party?" And criticizing that you made a mistake is an indirect rejection of the election results. This exposes the ego that he should have won the competition by himself . At the same time, it strengthens the tendency to blame others for their own weaknesses instead of resolving to get better results in the next election by correcting their weaknesses.

When the prime minister arrived in Dang, MP Sharma said that he thought that the construction work would be inaugurated and that he would say thank you, but he was saddened when he made an insulting expression to the voters. He said that the issue of which party and candidate to win or lose in the election is a matter of voter's conscience .

"It is not appropriate for the Prime Minister of the country to speak by insulting the elected representatives and the voters there," Sharma told Kantipur, "This is his irresponsibility." It is the result of ego and arrogance in him . It will harm him.'

In the 2079 election, UML could not be represented in the House of Representatives and the Provincial Assembly from the entire Dang district. At that time, candidates of the United Socialist Party, Maoist Center and Congress won from the three constituencies of Dang for the House of Representatives. The Congress won four seats in the state assembly and the Maoist Center won two seats. The irritation of not being represented from the entire district is also found in the expression of the Prime Minister.

As far as Shankar Pokharel's support is concerned, Oli has already received it. When the dispute within the then CPN escalated, Pokharel was seen running more in Kathmandu than in Lumbini Province. He had only one intention - no matter how much he is in trouble in the province he leads, Oli should not face any crisis in the chair of the Chairman of the CPN and the Prime Minister.

Pokharel's support must be appreciated, Oli awarded him as the general secretary at the Sauraha conference. Pokharel is also more committed to Oli's defense.

is not only a public platform, they are defending Oli's expression or decision by posting statuses on Facebook daily. For example, Oli reached America and made the world laugh by calling him "crook" and "rhinoceros". Pokhrel defended himself through his Facebook status - 'It's not that his idea will be recognized now . But the intellectual opinion that only Westernization is correct in the construction of knowledge theory is not correct . One should understand the truth that Asian perspective is necessary in the development of worldview theory and one should constantly try to establish it.'

When any statement or decision of Oli is in dispute, first of all Pokharel's status is made public for defense. That's why his critics say - Shankar Pokharel is less of a General Secretary of UML, more of Oli's "Damn Master".
