The fourth vote of confidence in the Prime Minister

While the Congress was shouting slogans, Prime Minister Dahal proposed a motion in the House of Representatives to ask for a vote of confidence. The Parliament meeting called at 11 am on Monday was adjourned for 15 minutes after the main opposition started shouting slogans while encircling the well. A large number of dignitaries were mobilized in the House of Representatives before the second meeting.

Speaker Devraj Ghimire gave Prime Minister Dahal time to move the vote of confidence motion amid Congress sloganeering and wel gherao. The Speaker instructed the dignitary to facilitate the Prime Minister to the rostrum. After the Prime Minister's speech, Ghimire said, "I instruct the dignitary to facilitate the honorable Prime Minister to take the seat." He was instructing the dignitary to facilitate the division of votes.

157 MPs gave their vote of confidence to the Prime Minister. There were zero votes against. 76 MPs from UML, 32 from Maoist, 21 from RSVP, 9 from United Socialist Party, 7 from Jaspa, 6 from Janmat, 3 from Civil Immunity, 2 from Independent and 1 from Aam Janata Party gave their vote of confidence to the Prime Minister.

Prakash Jwala of Integrated Socialists, Gangaram Chaudhary of Civil Immunity were absent during the vote of confidence. UML's Basant Nemwang is ill and undergoing treatment, while Top Bahadur Rayamazhi is suspended.

Nepal Labor Kisan Party MP Prem Suwal was the only one who did not give a vote of confidence to the Prime Minister. Congress, RPP, LOSPA, JSPA, Nepal, Janamorcha did not participate in the motion of confidence to the Prime Minister. JSP led by Upendra Yadav also withdrew the vote of confidence after its exit from the government of Nepal. According to Article 100 (2) of the Constitution, after the party in the government withdraws the vote of confidence, the Prime Minister must take the vote of confidence within 30 days.

Proposing a vote of confidence in the Parliament, Prime Minister Dahal said that the economy that was said to be in crisis when he took office has seen substantial improvement so far. He narrated the achievements of getting appointments on merit in universities, winning the trust of domestic and foreign investors from investment conferences, and making the King of Qatar and the Foreign Minister of Japan visit Nepal. Dahal also said that a record has been set in the arrival of tourists, the news of shortage of textbooks and chemical fertilizers has now become history, Hyundai's motor assembly plant has started to manufacture vehicles in Nepal.

The prime minister also claimed that the government is working in the area of ​​good governance. "Political leadership was becoming a terrible ideology that was above the law. It was increasing distrust and hatred towards the entire system. But the fearless and impartial action of the government in the cases of Bhutanese refugees, Lalita Niwas, Bansbari, Sunkand, etc., has awakened great trust in democracy and its power,' he said The Congress has objected to the fact that the Speaker conducted the House with a dignitary while the main opposition was in Vail. Congress held a parliamentary party meeting after the parliament session and decided that the role of the Speaker was not correct. "We have decided that the role of the Speaker is not compatible with the dignity of the office, a person occupying a position like the Speaker should maintain that dignity and dignity, presenting himself as a worker of a particular party is not good for the Speaker. As stated in the decision.

We requested to speak in Parliament several times but the speaker did not give us time. The opposition party gets priority to speak first in the parliament. This is a practice all over the world. The arrogance of the majority of the ruling party is behind the refusal to speak. "The ruling party has an attitude of autocracy," said Congress chief whip Ramesh Sukkar.

According to the provisions of the constitution, the Prime Minister was in a hurry as there is a provision that a vote of confidence should be taken within 30 days of the party participating in the government withdrawing its support. The chief whip writer also criticized Prime Minister Dahal's statement regarding the Congress's obstruction in the Parliament while taking the vote of confidence. He suggested to remember the role played by the Congress in bringing the Maoists into the peace process and establishing them in the mainstream politics.

UML vice president Bishnu Paudel spoke on behalf of UML, Maoists, RASWP, Integrated Socialists, Jaspa, Janmat, civil liberties and independent parliamentarians in the discussion on the vote of confidence proposed by the Prime Minister. Nemkipa MP Prem Suwal said that he also thought he would get time to speak, but the speaker did not give him time. "The Speaker announced that the name of the member who wanted to speak in the debate had been received on a party basis, so it was not mentioned. I thought it would be possible to speak, but the Speaker did not give time," Suwal said.

UML vice-president Paudel expressed his support on behalf of the UML and all parties participating in the government on the Prime Minister's proposal for a vote of confidence. He said that the government has succeeded in ending the frustration of the citizens and moving forward with stability due to economy, development etc. Paudel claimed that even though there was an attempt to weaken the government from behind, it was torn apart.

'The attempts made to change the government were torn like a spider's web and the events have confirmed that this House of Representatives does not want to change the government,' Paudel said, 'After the government's change is torn like a spider's web, the reaction is being expressed in the House.' He asked what kind of parliamentary practice the Prime Minister was doing by blocking the Parliament even when he was taking the vote of confidence.

Prime Minister Dahal also objected to Congress blocking the House. "I want to say to all the honorable members of the Congress who are on the block, you have done wrong today. In the history of Nepal, the prime minister who has supported you many times, this time also helped to bring you to the path of dialogue and consensus. , 'There will be a heavy price for the Congress, this activity of yours today will be well established in the history of Nepal.' After receiving the vote of confidence, Dahal gave a response to the media persons outside the Parliament building and said, "What price the Congress will have to pay will be seen in the upcoming elections." The obstruction made by the Congress today is a record not only in Nepal, but in the world. Prime Minister Dahal also said that he can take a vote of confidence from the Parliament 10-12 times if necessary.

Dahal was appointed as the Prime Minister for the third time on December 10, 2079. This is his fourth vote of confidence in the term of the Prime Minister for the third time.
