  • Opposition accuses Congress-UML of collusion after increasing action on corruption cases, Prime Minister's counter by saying that rumors about Giribandhu Tea Estate were spread

When Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli took the vote of confidence in the House of Representatives on Sunday, accusations/rebuttals continued between the government and the opposition. Opposition parties Maoist and RSVP MPs have accused the Congress-UML collusion after the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government stepped up action in one corruption case after another in favor of good governance. The ruling party responded that the opposition's allegations were false and that they were spreading rumours.

Prime Minister Oli said that rumors have been spread about Giribandhu Tea Estate. He claimed that when there was no law, when the land was being leased beyond the limit, there was an effort to regulate it by making a law during his tenure.

He said that the case of Giribandhu Tea Estate had gone to court and the decision had already been made, but the court stopped it by putting a condition that it should be done before the lease. He mentioned that since the court said that expensive land can be leased with cheaply bought land, it should be considered while making the law. Oli said to be sure that all cases of corruption will be investigated and proper investigation will be done regarding cooperative victims and fraudsters will be prosecuted.

Prime Minister Oli also said that the constitution is a dynamic document and will be amended as needed. The issue of constitutional amendment is also included in the seven-point agreement between Congress and UML. Prime Minister Oli said that the constitution will be amended with the consent of all or if that is not possible, the constitution will be amended by going through the prescribed process.

Congress has also prioritized the issue of constitutional amendment. Congress Chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba said that the Congress-UML coalition government will strengthen the republic and inclusiveness by amending the constitution. It has been 8 years since the commencement of the Constitution. It is a natural practice of democracy to review its strengths and weaknesses and make necessary amendments to the constitution,' said Deuba, 'when amending, it is appropriate to do it through dialogue and consensus.' Said to have increased. He alleged that the alliance between Congress and UML was opaque. Pun said that due to the manipulation of the middleman, his predecessor, Congress Finance Minister Prakasharan Mahat, and himself could not appoint the Chairman of the Securities Board. He said that the responsibility of this matter has come to Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel.

'When the government led by Comrade Prachanda opens and investigates various files of corruption, while issues such as fake Bhutanese refugees and even the Giribandhu Tea Estate are being raised, the general ministers of the Nepali Congress have said that they will not abandon our agendas,' Pun said, 'Congress also has a question, yesterday in the opposition in this House. At that time he said Giribandhu Tea Estate, Giribandhu Tea Estate. What about it? We and the Nepalese people expect the right answer.

United Samajwadi President Madhav Kumar Nepal said that there is no basis to justify the Congress-UML alliance. He said that the new alliance formed by the two parties in an opaque manner is not a good sign. He said that in the parliamentary system, one of the two major parties should lead the government and the other should play the role of the opposition, so it is not appropriate for the two parties to form the government together.

RSVP President Ravi Lamichhane suggested not to take respect of the country in return for the sacrifices and sacrifices made to protect democracy and its values. Lamichhane alleged that the previous government raised questions and started investigations against those who were placed in the cabinet.

'Wherever we raised the subject, there was an award. Parliament and the country know what investigation was started on the issue of fake Bhutanese refugees, who went to the Cabinet, Parliament and the country. We raised the question of kindergartens, we also raised the issue of awards, scouts, and again we looked at the cabinet," he said.

RPP President Rajendra Lingden said that Congress and UML are the cause of political instability in the country. The lack of stability in the country is not due to the proportional electoral system or small parties. The activities of two major parties are the main ones. He splits up small parties when necessary, brings them together with greed. You guys do tricks," Lingden said. "If only math worked, didn't the Communist Party alone get about two-thirds of the votes? Didn't the Congress get the majority alone time and time again? Why didn't the government run for five years?'

He said that there are many things that need to be reformed in the constitution and that reforms in the election and appointment system are necessary.
