The report presented by Congress General Secretary Bishwaprakash Sharma at the party's second special general convention has put forward the current state of the Congress, the reasons for public anger, and the necessary guidelines for its future political journey.
The report has seriously reviewed the youth-centric discontent and the Genji movement. It has been concluded that public anger is not an external force or a sudden event, but a product of political, economic, social and governance weaknesses. It has been admitted that the Congress failed to recognize and address the discontent of the citizens in a timely manner and it is mentioned that lessons should be learned from it.
General Secretary Sharma has pointed out the need to rebuild and reintroduce the Congress. He has emphasized that innovation should be brought to thinking, working style and political culture while maintaining the old name, flag and symbol. The report has pointed out that self-transformation is inevitable through the message that ‘old habits cannot create a new future’.
The report states that the continuity of government changes, policy instability, corruption, administrative hassles and economic slowdown in recent years have weakened public confidence. It has clearly listed the weaknesses seen in education, health, employment, agriculture and the implementation of federalism and concluded that progress is not possible without good governance.
The report, acknowledging that the Congress-led government has created laws and institutions but implementation has been weak, proposes to implement an appointment system based on merit, transparency and competition. It emphasizes the need to end political participation in constitutional bodies, regulatory institutions and diplomatic appointments.
The report recalls the historical achievements of the Nepali Congress—the establishment of democracy, republic and federalism—and states that the party has the responsibility to strengthen those achievements in the current context. It concludes that the Congress should take a balanced path that does not undermine the achievements of past movements and addresses contemporary discontent.
