Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa, while presenting a report at the closed session of the special general convention, has said that there will be no pre-election alliance.

Presenting a contemporary political proposal at the ongoing closed session at Bhrikutimandap, he said that the Congress would pursue politics based on values. ‘The Congress fought the Panchayat for 30 years by staying outside the government. It was ready to lose everything in the 10-year violent conflict. But it fought without giving up its values. It also accepted the result of being defeated in the referendum through conspiracy. It never compromised on its values, beliefs and principles,’ his report said.

General Secretary Thapa said that by sacrificing the party’s ideals, principles and value-based politics, he would reject alliances or collaborations that focus politics solely on gaining power and the interests of power. ‘We completely reject the extreme power-hungry and unprincipled tendency of considering power as the goal and winning elections as the party’s final victory,’ he added. "We will end the tendency to form alliances or collaborations with anyone, anywhere and at any time for the purpose of achieving electoral victory or out of fear of defeat and to seek votes from another party."

The Congress Mahasamiti meeting held in Godavari in February 2080 had also passed a policy of not forming pre-election alliances. He said that the pre-election alliance culture would further damage the party's ideals, democratic ideas and organization. "We assure party members, well-wishers, supporters and the common citizen that the Congress will not form a pre-election alliance in the future periodic elections." He made it clear that the Congress will abandon the politics of power and transactions and pursue politics based on ideals, principles and values.
