Even after several rounds of bilateral and multilateral discussions and tug-of-war, the division of the Congress could not be reversed. After the establishment and the special general convention—both sides decided on their own paths, the Congressmen are in a strange mood.
In this background, a brief conversation between Ganga BC and establishment leader Nainsingh Mahar: Ultimately, the Congress could not be unified, right?
In particular, the office bearers could not hold the regular general convention of the Congress on time, which was supposed to be held every four years. Next, in the meeting of last Jestha, the office bearers including the general secretary suggested that the term should be extended by one year. The responsibility of distributing and renewing active membership lay with the general secretary, but it could not be done.
After the Gen-G movement, when the party president was attacked and the houses and business establishments of many party leaders were burnt, the country had to find a way out. For that, the party had to discuss with other parties, Gen-G and everyone. But without doing that, the issue of a special general convention was raised.
The two general secretaries had said, 'If we give the acting president, we will settle the matter, we will not ask for a special general convention.' Sher Bahadur Deuba gave it to the acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka. After that, they demanded another special general convention. They themselves called a special general convention. The president's efforts to unite the party failed and ultimately led to a split. This has disappointed not only the Congress but also the general public.
Your efforts to prevent a split have also failed, right?
There was an agreement to discuss and decide on the issues of running the party through the 'high command', forming a parliamentary board to distribute election tickets, and taking ownership of the special general convention in the central working committee. When many things were agreed upon, things went wrong when they started nominating for the leadership. The party has come to an unfortunate situation where it has to take disciplinary action.
More than 54 percent of the delegates are participating in the special general convention, so the decision they made must be official, right?
The Congress has already announced the general convention. An attempt has been made to publicize the special general convention as official. But the legal and practical context has not been included in this. In the context of the special general convention, the general secretaries have tried to mislead their friends by saying that it is the center's right.
When the country was in turmoil, on the eve of the elections, a special general convention was held in the name of disappointing the people. The number of people present at the special general convention was not as many as stated. Both the general secretaries misled their friends. The feelings of their friends have also been hurt.
What are the preparations for going to the Election Commission to update?
We have already sent information to the Election Commission stating that disciplinary action has been taken against the general secretary. The Congress is registered in the Election Commission in the name of Sher Bahadur Deuba and recently, in the presence of the general secretary, we have registered the proportional list for the House of Representatives and the National Assembly candidates. Therefore, we do not have to do anything. Those who have a problem should consider it. According to the Act on Political Parties, the majority is the official place of the central committee. The election symbol and flag also belong to it. There are various precedents in the Election Commission regarding this.
