Congress-UML: Delivery or joint immersion?

Delivery or mass liquidation? The last meal or the decisive initiative of improvement and development? Congress-UML does not have a third option. People have no hope and trust in Deuba, Oli and their generation, who have failed to deliver despite having many opportunities.

Congress-UML: Delivery or joint immersion?

A message of hope was conveyed when the Congress-UML, the major party that fought for the establishment of democracy for almost 8 decades, became the government. It was expected that 'at least the government will be strong and stable after the Congress-UML alliance', in the background of the endless game of political instability from the center to the provinces, where questions are being raised about democracy and the constitution.

The government, which was formed with the intention of revising the constitution as well, had the benefit of doubt in the beginning, saying that it would do something even if it was for its own future. But after not being able to deliver relatively and starting to make controversial decisions, less than four months later, people's expectations towards the government are decreasing and dissatisfaction is increasing. In a country like a political laboratory that is being used one after the other, the untimely demise of this government and the formation of another one in the near future have also been predicted in the political speculation market. 

Is this government also heading towards failure? If it fails, what is the alternative? What kind of political message to the people? Is the failure of this government a failure of the constitution itself? Will Sher Bahadur Deuba and KP Sharma Oli honestly follow the 7-point agreement between Congress and UML? Such apprehensive debates and discussions are taking place in an uncertain and confused political landscape. Congress-UML has also been accused of not being able to confirm the justification of the government. In such a complex scenario, this government has both political opportunities and risks. If the risk is to be transformed into an opportunity, it is inevitable that the government should make some long-term and far-reaching policy decisions and awaken a message of hope among the people. 

Corruption control and assurance of good governance

Corruption control and good governance are being chanted by Congress-UML leaders like Gayatri Mantra. But the most questions are being raised about the government and the Congress-UML. From this point of view, the government is not only in the test, but in the ordeal. UML is accused of corruption in Giribandhu Tea State, Yeti, Omni and Congress in fake Bhutanese refugees, Terramax, Widebody ship, Lalita Niwas etc. Maoists are accused in the militant camp scam and gold scandal, while the investigation into the much-publicized co-operative fraud case of Ravi Lamichhane, chairman of the RSVP, is underway. Another case of Lamichhane's two passport scandals is also pending. 

There is widespread criticism even among the public that Congress and UML leaders-activists accused in the co-operative fraud case have not been brought under the scope of investigation. In particular, Congress Vice President Dhanraj Gurung and UML MP Rishikesh Pokharel have been accused of being protected by the government without investigation. The government's credibility has been further damaged after the controversial decision to acquit UML's state assembly member Leelabalbh Adhikari, who was accused of human trafficking. Therefore, the government should investigate and prosecute all co-operative fraud and corruption cases cleanly and impartially, not on the basis of political urges and biases. Similarly, questions are being raised about the fact that politicians have been exempted in the name of policy decisions and only low-level employees have been punished. 

Not only the investigation and prosecution of past corruption scandals, the government has not taken any initiative to control the current corruption and ensure good governance. There may be corruption in some government offices, abuse of authority, financial irregularities, bribery cases may be going on, people may be suffering unnecessarily. The list of maladministration and corruption can be epically long. But the corruption and the corrupt have been prosecuted? Who and what has stopped the government from taking action? First of all, Congress and UML should suspend the leaders-activists accused of corruption, financial irregularities, co-operative fraud from the party and the government should conduct fair investigation and prosecute the culprits. Only after Congress-UM does this will the government get the moral right to carry out anti-corruption operations and the people will also trust it.

Not only Congress and UML, but all parties should suspend the leaders, workers and people's representatives accused of corruption, financial irregularities and abuse of authority until the final judicial determination. Lamichhane is in police custody on charges of co-operative fraud. But there is no question of suspending him from the party, he is running the party from detention. RSVP has come to the streets in defense of Lamichhane institutionally and has also challenged the rule of law. What could be a bigger irony for a party founded on the slogan of corruption control and good governance?

After 2046, all the parties have demanded to form a commission to investigate the assets of all public representatives. Why does the government not create such a powerful commission? Two bills related to corruption control and abuse of authority investigation commission are pending in the parliament. Those bills are not only incomplete, but also misguided. There should not even be a loophole to give immunity to the corrupt under any cover or pretext in the law to be made. If the government is honest, then why the delay in passing the bill without delay, with a clear explanation about the policy decisions to be made by the Council of Ministers according to the principles of good governance and corruption control? 

Constitutional commission, universities, schools, government think tanks, public institutes have been made political recruitment centers and even civil administration has been partisanized in the name of trade unions. This level of political interference and partisanship is against the values ​​and practices of a democratic system. Democratization of society and state institutions is necessary but not partisanship. Therefore, at least professors, teachers, doctors, lawyers, journalists should not be made into a fraternal and benevolent organization and the partisanship in such academic, educational and professional fields should be ended. Likewise, trade unions should be abolished and the civil sector should be made more professional, efficient, responsive and service-oriented. Has the government taken policy initiatives on issues of such urgent and long-term importance?

Constitutional amendment based on consensus 

Not only because it was proposed by Congress-UML, but since it has been almost a decade since the promulgation of the Constitution, it is natural to review and revise it. Despite being democratic, liberal, progressive, rights-friendly and progressive, women, Madhesi, tribals and Dalit communities have been demanding the amendment of the constitution. The Constitution is a dynamic, changing and amendable document. It will be amended, modified and updated from time to time. In order to address the problems that have arisen during the exercise and the shortcomings that have been observed, revisions should be made on the basis of consensus through intensive dialogue and consultation with the major parties as well as stakeholders. Congress-UML has the opportunity to develop as a common and prosperous document to be adopted and owned by the entire people. But even for four months, homework and initiatives have not been taken, why? Was the constitutional amendment just an excuse to change the government? 

federalism and electoral system are seen as the main agenda. It is necessary to equip the provinces with more rights and resources by imbibing the spirit of the constitution and the principle of federalism. Federalism should be transformed into a people-oriented, functional and effective system by depositing the rights provided by the constitution. Federalism should be redefined and further explained according to the principles of coordination, coexistence and cooperation. Provincial and local governments with the right and resources are the solution to the problem. This is the letter and spirit of the constitution, this is also the appropriate model for Nepal. The alternative to federalism is a more advanced, liberal and people-oriented federalism. But not a unitary system. Because it is the necessity of today to restructure the centralized and unitary state and deposit the rights in the lower level government and the people. 

Federalism has been implemented to uplift the minority, marginalized and deprived communities in the mainstream from political, economic, social and cultural dimensions. Federalism has contributed positively in terms of identity, representation and accessibility of multi-religious, multicultural, multilingual and multi-ethnic Nepal. Due to federalism, Madhesi, women, tribal, Tharu and Muslim communities have become chief ministers, while Dalit communities have become state heads. Multiplicity and diversity are the identity, heritage and culture of Nepal. It is enhanced and promoted by federalism. 

There has been widespread criticism about the number of parliamentarians and ministries. Currently, there are 550 MPs elected through 330 direct and 220 proportional system. There is no need for such a large number of MPs in the state. Therefore, the number of MPs and ministries should be reduced. If this reform is done, the possibility of political stability will be relatively strong, and the accusation of ugly, burdensome and expensive structure will also be addressed. 

Contemplating the scenario that is going through a period of continuous political instability, it is necessary to improve the electoral system. But it should not be narrowed according to the values ​​of proportional and inclusive system and the spirit of the constitution, its scope should be widened. But the electoral system should guarantee the formation of a majority government when about 40 percent of the votes are won. For this, it is appropriate to review the existing threshold of 3 percent in the House of Representatives and 1.5 percent in the State Assembly of the proportional election system and make it 5 percent in the House of Representatives and 3 percent in the State Assembly. Likewise, proportional representation can be ensured by reducing the 40 percent towards the proportional election system and keeping it at 20 percent. It would be appropriate to reduce 20 percent of the seats reduced in this way, if not possible to adjust to the direct system. The appropriate option is to reserve proportional seats in the direct system and compete only among the respective clusters. 

Under the proportional election system, the representation of women, Dalits and minorities and marginalized communities can be guaranteed by reducing the clusters that can reach the parliament by fighting direct elections including Khas-Arya, tribes, Madhesi. It should be reinterpreted not only in proportional representation, but also in the direct elections of women, Madhesi, tribes, Dalits, minorities and marginalized communities in the House of Representatives and the Provincial Assembly with legal provisions to guarantee more representation. Similarly, by making the National Assembly more inclusive, there should be proper representation of nationally and internationally renowned political scientists, economists, constitutionalists, international relations experts, intellectuals and professionals who have specific knowledge and experience in their respective fields. This is also the concept of the National Assembly and the spirit of the Constitution. Likewise, the role of the vice president, abolition of the district coordination committee, and revision of the number of municipalities are also on the agenda.

According to the Legislation Management Committee of the National Assembly, 39 laws necessary for the implementation of the Constitution are yet to be made. If the pace of law-making by the government with a convenient majority in the parliament is so slow, can it bring to a conclusion a complex issue like constitutional amendment? A question has arisen. 

economy reform initiative 

The Congress government formed in the year 2048 followed a liberal economic policy with policy 'departure'. Due to this economic policy, the economy got a revival. However, according to the wishes of the people, relatively economic and social goals could not be achieved. There have been widespread questions about such economic policy and development model not only at the political and policy level, but also at the public level. There is no possibility of improving the declining economy by continuing this economic policy and ritual reforms. Therefore, the time has come to take appropriate and tough decisions to improve the economy. If the decisive initiative for reform is to be taken, this government will do it. If not, there is no possibility. Therefore, it is necessary to review the economic policy and development model of three decades and follow the appropriate policy according to time. 

Perhaps by assimilating this reality, the government has formed a high-level economic sector reform suggestion commission under the leadership of former secretary Rameshwar Khanal, which is positive. How can the economy be made sustainable? How to win the trust of the private sector? How can the national capital, including the capital in banking and financial institutions, be mobilized? How can a job-creating economy be developed? How can foreign aid be enhanced? How can trade deficits be minimized? How can physical infrastructure projects, which are indispensable for economic development, including projects of national pride, be completed on time? is the current hot topic. 

Analyzing in the national-international scenario, both the economy and the economic policy failed in the name of capitalism, marketism and crony capitalism and state monopoly in the name of socialism. Now there is no alternative to liberal economy and policy. The economy develops by facilitating a generosity based on the terms of state interference. Because productivity growth, entrepreneurship, investment-friendly environment, employment and private property are a positive aspect of the economy. Such anonymics will increase the productive and employment-oriented economy. Therefore, a progressive generous liberal economy based on a balanced rate based on liberal values ​​and private sector is the solution. & Nbsp;

generously is not the limit of the economy, Nepal should accept the appropriate policy according to the economy. Environmental balance should be sensitive to the cases of climate change and give special priority to environmental balances while building economic development and physical infrastructure. Produces oriented, employment-employment, employment, and all the people should assimilate inclusive economic growths for the economy and development. Now it has been a proper time to improve the second round. There is only political herth and moral status alone to lead it. Will the Genery Minister Gagan Thapa like Thapa, who is the Congressien in the direction of the second stage? SHORY-BREAK Shared Attitude on top of nationals & nbsp; Despite their own point of view of the

party, it is inevitable to have a similar view of the nation with Nepal generic and strategic astronomical lands. There should be a common idea of ​​at least the national agenda, especially in national interests (National Sports (National Security Policy and Foreign Adverse Policies and foreign policy. There was no political situation in such an agenda in such an agenda. But when this government is formed, the situation has been created. The process has also started to the Chinese visit and UML about the Chinese tour of PM's China and BRI project. On the basis of this common agenda, Nepal had confidence with China and China had followed a elevative policy of Nepal in the past. That was not the case. The BRI project was signed on the last clock.

was the first government to drag national interests, national interests, national rights, national rights policy and abroad policy and abroad policy. The parliament had to be profound discussion and debate in the draft. Similarly, the party, the intellectual community, the intellectual community, the Constitutional Comprehencil of International Tollars, Victory, civil society, had to consult with widespread dialogue, civil society. The government should be performed by raising the draft by raising the suggestions that have come to the suggestions on the dialog and consultation. The policy constructed this is the document of national consensus and the government will accept the ownership from the party to citizens. राष्ट्रिय स्वार्थ, भौगोलिक अखण्डता, सार्वभौमिकता, स्वाधीनता, समुन्नति र विकासका लागि यी विषयमा सहमतिको साझा दस्ताबेज अपरिहार्य छ । If it can make documents of national consensus on these issues, it will contribute to the historic contribution and even the integrality of the government. These are not likely to have national consensus on these issues if it is not possible. & NBSP;

concluded that the government of Congress-Break mathematical views will also be delivered so strong dissatisfaction, outstrette and frustration. Not only the state's scenario, not only the Congress-Emil, will also stand up to a serious question in the future of the constitution. The government if, but the nooder, however, is not exempted, and there is no exemption for democracy and constitution. If vision and willpower are now unprecedented opportunities. But if it is not delivery, there will be a collective suicide dissection for the Congress-UML.

to deliver to the delivery that would be confused? The last meal or the decisive initiative of improvement and development? No third option Congress-UML. Deuba, Olyley and their generations that have not been able to have been delivered at repeated events, but they do not have the people of the people. But even for our own future, Gagan Thapa, World Prakash, Sharma, Shankar Pokhrel, Shunkar Pokhrel, Shunkar Pokhrel, Bhattash Bhattarai has a flour expectations of the people. The last hope is also absolutely, is sure to an unimaginable accident. & Nbsp;
