I withdrew my resignation to save federalism: Chief Minister Singh
At a time when the country was shaken by the movement led by Jen-G and the subsequent demonstrations, his party Janmat Party is trying to replace the chief minister in Madhesh province. When the Gen-G movement was raging, Chief Minister Satish Kumar Singh was asked to resign on August 24. Chandrakant (CK) Raut directed.
Chief Minister Singh announced his resignation by writing a long list in favor of the Gen-G movement on social media saying that he had resigned "in consultation". While the protestors were wreaking havoc in the country, on August 24, after Sharad Singh Yadav, the then spokesman of Janmaat, announced the decision of the Chief Minister to resign from the Madhesh government and to withdraw his support to the Oli government, Chief Minister Singh, while talking to Kantipur, said, "I am resigning from the post on the advice of the party president".
'The people have chosen us and brought us to this place, there is no one greater than the people . The kind of damage that has been done in the movement of Gen-G has made me sad,' the Chief Minister said in his resignation letter , 'With the unwavering belief that there is nothing greater than the life of a citizen, I have resigned from the post of Chief Minister of Madhesh Province, being responsible for the rights and future of the people.' Chief Minister Singh also stayed outside Janakpur for a few days when the demonstration was chaotic everywhere. Chief Minister Singh returned to Janakpur on August 27 to resign before the provincial chief.
"When we reached the residence of the provincial chief, there was no one there except for the Nepali army deployed for security," Awadhesh Kumar Jha, the press adviser of Chief Minister Singh, said, "The chief minister was informed that the provincial chief was not in Janakpur. During inquiry, it was reported that the state chief will return to Janakpur in two/four days.'
When the state chief Bhandari stopped in Kathmandu and the doubt whether Chief Minister Singh will resign/not, his own party Janmat Party further muddied the matter. Mahesh Prasad Yadav, the leader of the parliamentary party of the Janmat Party, published the letter written by the provincial chief Bhandari on August 28 through Facebook. In the letter, it was mentioned that ``Janamat Party has withdrawn its support to the government and the Chief Minister/Minister has been recalled''. What a coincidence, both the letters of Chief Minister Singh's resignation and the recall of him by the party reached the state chief . The resignation was posted on social media.
That letter was enough to make Chief Minister Singh who was in the mood to resign . I am ready to resign from the post of Chief Minister. When I am not the head of the state, to whom will I submit the resignation letter?,' Chief Minister Singh expressed his anger to his close associates, 'Why are the internal decisions of the party connected to me put on social media in a moment ?'
In the meantime, Chief Minister Singh also consults with his leaders who are ministers from UML, Congress, and LOSPA. After the discussion of the top leaders of the opposition party Jaspa, Maoist Center, CPN (S), the Chief Minister reaches the mood of not resigning . The Janmaat Party once gave 24 hours and another time 3 days and asked Chief Minister Singh for an explanation as to why he did not resign. Chief Minister Singh is silent on the instructions and clarifications of the party.
When Chief Minister Singh did not resign, Janmaat Party withdrew its support from the government led by its own party. Chief Minister Singh has also reached a decision not to resign but to face a vote of confidence in the state assembly. At the Constitution Day ceremony held in Janakpur on Friday, Chief Minister Singh said that he will not resign from the post of Chief Minister to defend federalism, just as President Ram Chandra Paudel did not resign from his post to defend the Constitution. "Yes, when the situation took a different turn, I announced my resignation on August 24," he said, "but, after analyzing that the coalition party and the opposition parties, including the Chief Minister, may cause problems for federalism, I withdrew." Yadav said that the party has appointed Singh as the Chief Minister who is part of the public opinion and now it is only greed to hold on to the position instead of leaving. "It is not acceptable to resign on the instructions of the party and back down again," said Janmat Dal leader Yadav.
Janmaat Party has instructed Chief Minister Singh to resign and Yadav informed that the process of expelling him from the party has been initiated. "He should not sit for a minute after the party asks him to resign," said Yadav, the leader of the Janmat Party. You can also not stay in the party . The process has been started .'
081 On May 23, the Saroj Kumar Yadav-led government of Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal (JSP) lost the vote of confidence, and the Chief Minister was part of the public vote in the tug of war to form a new government in Madhesh Province. Mahesh Prasad Yadav of Janmat was the leader of the parliamentary party. It was almost certain that Yadav would be the Chief Minister. However, on June 24, 2008, President Raut, before flying to America, conveyed a message to the leader of the ruling party that Singh's name had been put forward for the post of Chief Minister. Parliamentary party leader Yadav is not happy with Chief Minister Singh for taking away his share.
The movement led by Jen-Ji and the events that developed after that, why did you want to remove your own chief minister when there was a debate about whether or not federalism would remain? In response to the question, the leader of the Janmat parliamentary party, Yadav said, "If there was a crisis over federalism, why did you pretend to resign?" Nothing like that . He will be the next Chief Minister if he leaves. Federalism continues .'
Yadav said that Chief Minister Singh has increased greed for office . He also hinted that Chief Minister Singh would lose his state MP post before taking the vote of confidence. "He will not be able to reach the vote of confidence," said Yadav. The party has already started the process.'
Upendra Mahato, the state MP of the ruling party LOSPA, argued that the Janmaat Party forced the resignation of Chief Minister Singh for cheap popularity. "If there was a threat to federalism, then why make him resign," Mahato said, "After resigning, Chief Minister Singh should also have left." According to him, when the party called back, Chief Minister Singh has been adding complexity to the fact that he should easily pave the way.
Chief Minister's Dao
Chief Minister Singh, who resigned suddenly on the instructions of public opinion chairman Raut, said that in the 13 months of his tenure, the politics of Madhesh province is well-versed with mathematics . Ministers of all four parties are satisfied with Chief Minister Singh who is running a coalition government of four parties. In case of Chief Minister Singh's exit, UML as the largest party can be called upon by the provincial chief Bhandari to lead the government . However, UML parliamentary party leader Saroj Kumar Yadav (Mahottari) wants Singh to continue as Chief Minister.
If the chief minister or the alliance changes in Madhesh, the UML-Congress alliance will have problems in the other 6 provinces, so the UML wants Singh to continue. The situation of Congress is also the same. Madhesh Pradesh Congress President Krishna Prasad Yadav is claiming that he should get the Chief Minister. However, all those who became ministers from his party are in favor of Chief Minister Singh's continuation. The ruling party LOSPA also preferred Singh's leadership.
Madhesh Pradesh has 107 MPs. In which UML MP Dipendra Thakur and JSP MP Saroj Singh Kushwaha, a large party of UML, have been suspended due to the case of Abuse of Authority Investigation Commission. LOSPA MP Abhiram Sharma has been suspended after absconding in the Asai Thaman Vic case. Now Chief Minister Singh has prepared to get a majority in the vote of confidence among the 104 MPs by following the public opinion . With the support of UML, Congress and LOSPA, the chief minister Singh is also trying to steal the votes of the opposition parties .
Roshan Janakpuri, a political expert, said that if the Chief Minister resigns, it would be good to resign. If there was a problem within the party, it should have been solved.
According to a state MP of UML, Chief Minister Singh has promised to help when taking the vote of confidence. The reason why Chief Minister Singh is talking to his party is that his alliance party has assured him.
