Prime Minister Sushila Karki has said that she had to face a lot of difficulties to hold the election in a short period of time. In an interview with Rashtriya Samachar Samiti reporter Kalika Khadka, she revealed that she had come under pressure from political parties, saying, 'Even if you are the Prime Minister, you should run the government by appointing ministers from political parties.'
'One or two people even said that they would make it a failure and become the Prime Minister themselves. 21/22 groups of Genji emerged. One says one thing, another says another. Genji became like a fraternal organization of the party,' she said, 'Some said that there should be an executive Prime Minister, some said that there should be an elected Prime Minister and some said that the constitution should be amended. They were also saying things that the constitution should not allow. It was as if the Genjis did not listen to what they said. Political parties say that this government will only hold elections. Genji says that it should do everything, this is a government that came from rebellion. We were like a flower jumping in a frying pan.'
Prime Minister Karki said that he was very happy that the election was held peacefully amidst uncertainty. 'The responsibility that was assigned to the government. We were able to complete it on time. It feels like joy,' she said.
She said that many people distrusted her within six months and that entire old parties had risen against her. 'Those who said they were Genji immediately left. They said they hijacked Genji's movement. At that time, there were very few people who supported us,' she said. 'Even when I met representatives of foreign diplomatic missions, questions like 'is it possible?' came up. We were limited people in the government. During that time, there were many attacks. People did not even trust us. On top of that, comments like "a woman" were being heard. But I heard it in one ear and blew it out the other. I didn't quit my job.'
She said that she felt like she was going to have a heart attack the day the parents of the Gen-G martyr came to Baluwatar and cried.
Saying that the National Investigation Department was made useless by placing it under the Prime Minister, she said that it has now been put under the Home Ministry and made active. 'The information from the Investigation Department has played an important role in conducting this election and averting many major accidents,' she said.
She understands that the current election results are the impact of the Gen-G movement and the desire for change. 'The party should not panic. The new ones should not get drunk. We did not think so either. I did not even think that Oli ji would lose,' she said. 'The RSNP should respect the votes it got. Even if the opposition got a few votes, the RSNP should respect it. The RSP should respect the old parties. If the ruling party does wrong, the opposition should protest.'
She said that the cabinet meeting to be held today will take a decision on the report of the inquiry commission formed to investigate the incidents of Bhadra 23 and 24. 'We don't have much time now. A new mandate has come. The new government will definitely take the remaining process forward.'
She suggested that the new government should first fulfill the three demands made by Genji. 'Maintaining good governance, controlling corruption and providing employment. The biggest problem is the lack of employment. There is nepotism even in the opportunities that arise. The economic situation should be improved by eliminating such a situation,' she said. 'Open corruption should be stopped. I have seen that the biggest improvement needs to be made within Singha Durbar. It has been seen that the employees working there are being politicized. Secretaries are busy with every task.'
