The political parties represented in the dissolved House of Representatives have not been able to form a common opinion about the upcoming political 'roadmap'. With the dissolution of the House of Representatives due to the Gen-G movement, the exit of the Congress-UML coalition government and the formation of a 'civilian government', the old parties have not been able to form a common understanding of political cooperation.
Congress, UML, Maoist Center, CPN United Socialist Party, Janata Samajwadi Party, which are in the quagmire of 'Justification' and 'Existence' after the Gen-G Movement, are unable to form a common opinion about protecting the Constitution and creating an environment for elections.
The previous ruling Congress-UML and the opposition Maoists have a divided mentality as in the past. Congress, UML and Maoists agreed to make Chief Justice Sushila Karki the Prime Minister after the Gen-J movement. But then they are divided over the dissolution of the House of Representatives, going to the elections and the working style of the government.
The UML has protested that the government has decided to stop the passports of the then Prime Minister and UML President KP Sharma Oli and Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar due to extreme suppression of the Gen-G movement. The government is looking for a legal basis to arrest Oli and the author. Oli and Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba understand that they are trying to take political revenge by trying to arrest them without the report of the inquiry commission.
Deuba and Oli are dissatisfied with this step of the government. Congress General Minister Gagan Thapa and Bishwa Prakash Sharma are in favor of the police repression and violent incidents in the Gen-G movement and the need for a fair investigation and action against the culprits. Both the Chief Ministers are in favor of going to the elections.
Maoists, integrated socialists, Jaspa are more positive towards the demands put forward by the Zen-Ji movement. Although they did not comment negatively on the government's actions, they asked to create an environment for elections.
Maoist, United Socialists, Jaspa has decided to go to the House of Representatives elections announced on February 21 . Congress, UML have prepared to take a formal decision about the election in the central committee meeting held within this month. Congress, UML have some preconditions about going to the elections. For example, the commission formed to investigate the incidents on August 23 and 24 did not report and argued that action against the then Prime Minister and Home Minister would be 'political revenge'.
Soon after the dissolution of the House of Representatives, eight parties, including Congress, UML, and Maoists, published a joint statement that it was against the constitution. After that, the issue of dissolution of parliament has not been prioritized by Maoists and socialists.
Congress-UML, Congress-Maoist and other parties have had separate dialogues, but no formal discussion has taken place . After the destructive demonstration on August 24, there was no joint meeting between the top leaders of the old parties. Deuba was under treatment for about two weeks after being injured in an attack by protesters at his residence Budanilkanth. After 10 days, Oli moved from the army barracks to Gundu Dera in Bhaktapur. He has not come out of Gundu . He held a secretariat meeting in Gundu and has continued meeting with party leaders and workers.
Chairman of Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Chairman of CPN Unified Socialists Madhav Kumar Nepal have been coming out of army barracks for a week and are continuously participating in public events.
Maoist President Pushpa Kamal Dahal had a telephone conversation with Congress President Deuba last week. He said in a conversation with Deuba that it would be appropriate to go for fresh elections in the changed political situation. "The Constitution can be protected and the country's politics can be brought in the right direction only through elections," said Dahal.
Deuba and Oli are still close due to the power alliance between Congress and UML. The two leaders disagreed about the dissolution of the House of Representatives due to the power of the Gen-G movement. In the conversation between the two leaders, one of the leaders said that the dissolution of the House of Representatives was wrong. Deuba and Oli are still in favor of reviving the House of Representatives.
UML Deputy General Secretary Pradeep Gyawali said that the parties are in an informal dialogue about forming a common opinion.
'Meanwhile there has been an informal conversation . Congress Chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba was injured by the protestors, he has just returned home after treatment, he said, but the parties are in contact and coordination. The parties agree on what the upcoming roadmap will be. Congress, we are meeting . Then a common opinion will be formed.'
He said that since the eight political parties in the dissolved parliament have concluded that the dissolution of the parliament is not in accordance with the constitution, it is necessary to have a constitutional test. "Since the dissolution of the parliament has been declared unconstitutional, there should be a constitutional test somewhere," he said, "the court may raise questions about this." The parties are still holding the 2079 referendum. This public opinion cannot be ignored until the next election," he said.
Congress spokesperson Prakasharan Mahat said that opinion should be formed through dialogue between major parties. "Now the parties should discuss the upcoming political program and form a common opinion as much as possible," he said. In the Maoist secretariat meeting, Chairman Dahal concluded that the restoration of the House of Representatives would not reflect the spirit of the Gen-Ji movement and that it would be appropriate to go to the election.
"Now we will not return to the restoration of the parliament, it is appropriate to go to the elections and get a fresh mandate," he said in the meeting. After that, the officers' meeting decided to go to the election. Informing that he is in discussions with Congress and other parties, he said that there will be further discussions on creating an environment for elections.
'Dialogue is going on informally between the parties,' Vice President and Spokesperson Agni Sapkota said, 'The Constitution can be protected only through elections, the country's politics can be taken on the right path.' Vice President and Spokesperson Prakash Jwala said that it is necessary to hold a discussion between the parties to complete the election at the appointed time.
"It is necessary to have a serious discussion between the parties to hold elections at the appointed time," he said.
JSP President Upendra Yadav said that parties cannot run away from elections. He said that the parties should be prepared for campaigning for the election on the announced date and if not, for the struggle. "We should be prepared to fight the election and if there is no election, we should be prepared for the struggle," he said, "Why should the parties run away from the election?" We should go to the elections and get a fresh mandate.'
The National Independent Party is clear about going to the elections. Jaspa president Upendra Yadav said that efforts are being made to form a common opinion between the Madhesh-centric parties and the Federal Democratic Front. As the Congress withdrew its support from the Madhesh government led by public opinion, the parties are preparing to cooperate to form the next government.
