Question about the Congress-UML 7-point agreement not being made public

According to the agreement of the two parties, since the appointment of UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli as the Prime Minister, the Council of Ministers has been completed. According to Article 76(2) of the Constitution, Oli is taking the vote of confidence from the meeting of the House of Representatives on Sunday. However, not only the opposition, but most of the MPs and leaders of the ruling party, the UML and the Congress, are not aware of the seven-point agreement reached between the Congress and the UML. Even the Parliament has not been informed about that matter.

Congress General Minister Thapa has expressed doubts about the implementation of the seven-point agreement, which was not made public, at a program held by Jai Nepal Foundation on Saturday. He demanded that the agreement between Prime Minister Oli and Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba should be made transparent as there is doubt about the implementation of the seven-point agreement between Prime Minister Oli and Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba. "Today's reality is that the Congress has reached an agreement with the UML. We are in power based on that understanding. Now it should be confirmed by our work,' Thapa said, 'I think that when the Prime Minister, who has been made with our support, addresses the nation or takes the vote of confidence, he should read out the seven-point agreement between the Congress and the UML.' He said that Prime Minister Oli will be mainly responsible for increasing it. Thapa also claims that there will be no disturbance in the power alliance because of the Congress. I can take responsibility for the party and say that there will be no compromise on the part of the Congress in the implementation of the agreement reached with the UML.

After General Minister Thapa publicly raised the question, Congress president Deuba wanted to make it public on Saturday itself through his close leaders. According to a Congress leader, although Deuba suggested to consult with Prime Minister Oli to make the agreement public, Oli stopped it after he said 'only after taking the vote of confidence on Sunday'.

Prime Minister's political advisor Bishnu Rimal said that the matter will be discussed after the vote of confidence in the House of Representatives on Sunday. Any agreement between Congress and UML is not transparent. When the time comes, everything will be made public," he said, "there is no reason to hide even the seven-point agreement."

In the midnight of June 17, it has been claimed that there was an agreement between the two parties to alternate between Oli and Deuba in the leadership of the government, in the first phase, to form a government of national consensus under Oli's leadership for two years and in the second phase, Congress chairman Deuba will become the prime minister for the remaining one and a half years. UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel, one of the drafters of the agreement, said in an interview with Kantipur Television that the agreement will be made public after Oli is sworn in as the Prime Minister.

Various sources of both parties have said that it was not made public in the early days because there would be many maneuvers to break the equation between Congress and UML. The government of national consensus was stated in the consensus, on the other hand, there was no existing situation of national consensus. Since there is a situation where there is no dialogue between the Maoists and the RSVP, why should the government rush to publicize the agreement made with the intention of forming a government of national consensus, until it is complete," said a source close to the Congress. Our leaders think so.'

Professor Lokraj Baral says that since the agreement between the two leaders is not made public, the message has been sent that there is no purpose other than the transaction of the chair. "Of course there are no border issues in the agreement. Lipulek and Limpiyadhura will not be talked about. There is no question of BRI. If this is not the case, there is no reason to be afraid of the two neighboring countries," Professor Baral said. "The main objective of the two parties was to keep the Maoists out. Did that. What is the amendment of the constitution for? For what purpose? It is not clear why the constitution is not perfect. It is becoming clear that this agreement reached in the middle of the night is only a transaction of the chair.' The subject was said to be included. He said that after the commencement of the constitution, revision of the constitution and laws as required by reviewing the strong and rare aspects observed in practice was mentioned in the agreement.

Congress and UML have been explaining the issue of constitutional amendment behind the rationale of changing the political equation. This issue has raised doubts among the supporters of Maoist party identity. In the background of the issue of changing the electoral system for the stability of the government within the Congress and UML, the opposition parties and identity advocates have suspected that the agreement between the two parties is trying to remove the proportional inclusion system. Another Congress leader said, "The agreement made by the two parties at midnight should be made public to clarify what the subject of the constitutional amendment is." According to the

author, the agreement includes issues such as maintaining political stability, controlling corruption and maintaining good governance, advancing the nation's development campaign, making economic activities viable by creating a business environment, encouraging internal and external investment and creating sufficient employment conditions within the country. .

A few days ago, Rajan Bhattarai, a member of the UML Standing Committee, said that the issue of constitutional amendment was mentioned in the first point itself. According to him, in the second point, there is the issue of taking the leadership of the government and after that, the issue of boosting the economy by maintaining political stability is mentioned. He said that in the agreement, the issue of distribution of power from the center to the seven provinces from the head of the province to the chief minister and the ministers was also mentioned.

After the agreement was not made public, the Samajwadi Front, which is in the opposition along with the Maoists, has decided that the agreement signed opaquely between the two parties in the middle of the night is unacceptable. The meeting of the front held on Tuesday with the participation of Maoist President Pushpa Kamal Dahal and United Samajwadi Party President Madhav Kumar Nepal concluded that there was not only an opaque agreement between Congress and UML but also an unnatural alliance.
