Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa has said that while the government and political parties are discussing the upcoming elections on Falgun 21, the issue of ending corruption and maintaining good governance raised in the Gen-G movement should not be overlooked.
Thapa made this point in the discussion between the political parties, Gen-G and the government convened by Prime Minister Sushila Karki in Baluwatar.
In Wednesday's meeting, Thapa had also reiterated that the party is committed to going to the elections. He had said that even though the issue of peace and security is serious, there is no reason not to go to the elections using that as an excuse. Thapa, mentioning that he had spoken at the meeting, said, 'The Nepali Congress is committed to going to the elections. There are issues of peace and security, but we will fully support the government in creating that environment.'
Thapa said that he had made some commitments between the political parties, Gen-G and the government regarding the work to be done by the House of Representatives after the Falgun 21 election to maintain good governance and end corruption. 'Before the 2062/63 movement, we had made some commitments on the issues to be done by the new parliament and work was done accordingly. This time too, I proposed that the parliament that comes tomorrow should reach a broader understanding between the Gen-G agitators and political parties on issues related to good governance. The parliament that comes after the upcoming election should complete it,' Thapa said, 'While we are talking about elections now, we should all be aware that the issue of good governance raised in the Gen-G agitators should not be left out.'
Thapa had urged the government to be serious about the security challenges posed by prisoners escaping from prisons and weapons seized from the police for the election. He also raised the issue of the capacity of the Election Commission and the challenges posed by the weather during the election in Falgun. 'The Chief Election Commissioner is vacant. The capacity of the Election Commission has also been questioned. Nepal has not held elections in Falgun to date, due to the weather. The government should also take this matter into account in a timely manner,' Thapa said.
