While the government is saying that six ordinances issued by the President will be put on the agenda of both houses of the Federal Parliament for approval, Jaspa Nepal has made the withdrawal of the ordinances related to land a 'bottom line'. Jaspa Nepal has stated that if the ordinance is not withdrawn, it will not support the other 5 ordinances.
In the political organizational report presented by President Upendra Yadav at the central committee meeting of Jaspa Nepal on Sunday, it is mentioned the 'condition' that the government should withdraw the land-related ordinance from the parliament to get support for five ordinances. If JSP Nepal does not support, the ordinance will not be approved by the National Assembly. Although there is no problem in the House of Representatives, there are only 27 MPs in the National Assembly, 16 from the ruling Congress and 11 from the UML (including one nominee). Three more seats are needed to achieve a majority in the 59-member National Assembly, which Jaspa Nepal holds. LOSPA, which is participating in the government, also has 1 seat in the National Assembly. He also withdrew the ordinance related to land but decided to support five other ordinances.
Jaspa Nepal President Yadav's report presented to the party central committee mentions that the government brought the ordinance with malicious interest while convening the parliament session. According to Jaspa Nepal, the Ordinance made to amend some of Nepal's laws related to land is not in the interest of the country and the people, and favors real estate and land mafia and brokers. "This ordinance has been introduced with the aim of distributing the forests, public land of Terai/Madhesh to their party workers," the report says, "According to the said ordinance, the real landless, squatters are unable to get land and our party stands firmly against the land ordinance as the problem may become more complicated due to environmental crisis."
It is mentioned in the report that the government could not present the ordinance to the parliament for approval due to JSP Nepal's stance that it will not support the remaining five ordinances until the land ordinance is withdrawn from the parliament. Six ordinances issued on different dates were presented by the government in the first meeting of the Federal Parliament on January 18. There is a constitutional provision that the Ordinance must be passed by both Houses of the Federal Parliament within 60 days of the first meeting. As the Ordinance was not approved by the Parliament, the Government was unable to proceed with the replacement Bill. If the ordinance is not passed within 60 days, it is repealed.
For the approval of the ordinance, the government is continuing its efforts to pull three MPs of JSP Nepal to its side. Without securing a majority in the National Assembly, the ruling Congress and UML's political machinery meeting on Friday decided to submit all 6 ordinances including land for approval in the next Wednesday's Parliament meeting for decision. The government has also prepared to advance the bill to facilitate the division of political parties. The government is going to advance the bill with the provision that the party can be divided if the number of 40 percent in any one of the parliamentary parties and the central committee is reached. This is the strategy of Congress and UML to put pressure on the United Socialist Party and Jaspa Nepal for the approval of the ordinance.
Leaders say that the government is planning to pass the bill related to political parties through a fast-track process with the aim of dividing the Madhav Nepal-led unified socialist party, which has 10 MPs in the House of Representatives and 8 in the National Assembly. Leaders of Congress and UML believe that even the MPs of the opposition United Socialist Party will vote in favor of the ordinance after the bill that will facilitate the division of parties is advanced. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who is also the President of UML, had already tried to bring an ordinance to divide the United Socialist Party. A minister of the Congress said that the Ordinance, which was stopped due to the disagreement of the Congress, is now being brought in the form of a Bill. "By doing this, criticism will also be reduced, and the way will be opened for integrated socialists," he said.
The leaders of the ruling party are 'lobbying' with the MPs of the United Samajwadi Party and JSP Nepal, saying that no one should go to the post of MP while voting on the ordinance. In the law on political parties, it is mentioned that only if the whip is violated in four matters, the post of MP will be removed. In it, the proposal of confidence or no-confidence of the government, the subject of approving the government's policies and programs, the subject of passing the annual budget and any other subject of national or public importance are stated.
President of Jaspa Nepal Yadav has expressed anger that they are trying to pass the ordinance by buying and selling MPs. "If the government passes the ordinance related to land by buying and selling MPs, by making false gorakh deals, we will go to the people," President Yadav said in an interaction held by the party on Saturday regarding the land ordinance itself, "Now the mafia wants to arrange how many crores they need but they want to give us land." We will go to the street movement after being cheated and cheated.'
Jaspa Nepal has decided that the government including Congress and UML has increased frustration among the people rather than promoting good governance, prosperity and development in the country and that the government has failed. "There is no concrete policy, program and plan of the government to achieve prosperity through economic development" is mentioned in the political report of Jaspa Nepal. The government has been accused of weakening the economy of the Federal Democratic Republic and the country, failing to make policy and institutional reforms, failing to build a production-oriented economy, improving the supply system, and failing to increase production and create jobs.
