Gen-G has positively viewed the rebellion against the leadership style by Gagan Kumar Thapa and Bishwaprakash Sharma within the Nepali Congress.

They say that this move by young leaders has sparked a new debate on generational change and good governance in a politics that has been dominated by top leaders for years.

The leaders of the Gen-G campaign, who have been advocating for political reforms through street protests and social media, have described this movement within the Congress as a 'ray of hope'.

According to Raksha Bam, an activist of the Gen-G movement and coordinator of the Gen-G Front, Gagan and Bishwaprakash's rebellion is a respectful challenge to the party power that has been in the hands of one person for a long time. 'Our movement had given the top three leaders (Sher Bahadur Deuba, KP Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal) an opportunity to exit with respect, but they showed extreme lust for power,' she said in an interview with Kantipur.

'Although Dahal initially pretended to understand the essence of the movement, he later tried to take over the leadership himself. Oli even violated the constitution and returned to the leadership himself. Deuba, although he initially showed flexibility, eventually revealed his true nature. All three of them had the opportunity to serve the country even as parents if they wanted to. But they tried to move forward by deceiving the people. This is against the essence of the movement,' says Bam, 'The rebellion of Gagan and the world has made us feel that Nepal's politics is about to come out of the clutches of the three top leaders.'

Gen-G activist Bhavana Raut also considers this democratic practice seen within the Congress as positive. 'I have taken the democratic practice within the Congress very positively. This is what Gen-G wanted. Our demand was that there should be a generational transition in politics,' she said, 'That could not happen within the UML. What the UML people wanted happened. But the Congress has accepted that there should be a generational transition.'

Gen-G Movement Alliance representative Rijan Rana Magar said that Gagan-Bishwprakash's move was a continuation of the Gen-G movement. 'We are happy that they have accepted the Gen-G movement and made it a continuation of the rebellion,' he said.

According to another activist Arnav Chaudhary, breaking the tradition of power being concentrated in a single generation is the victory of Gen-G. He said, 'Gagan and Bishwprakash's rebellion has raised hopes for good governance and we have taken it as a respectable step.'

Along with new hopes, Gagan and Bishwprakash's rebellion is also a threat to new political parties, he said. 'Those who are said to be new are not new either. They also have to be corrected,' Arnav said, 'The arrival of Gagan-Bishwprakash is also a political threat to new political parties.'

Arguing that the relevance of parties will end if internal democracy is not strengthened, he said that the leadership that listens to the voice of the new generation will continue to receive encouragement from civil pressure groups.

'Possibility of collaboration with Gagan-Bishva'

Gen-G leaders have said that there is a possibility of collaboration with Gagan-Bishvaprakas. When asked by Kantipur what they would do if they proposed collaboration, Gen-G activist Raut said that collaboration is possible by making Gagan the prime ministerial candidate.

According to Raut, if the Congress addresses the essence of the constitution and the demands of the young generation and puts forward Gagan Thapa as the prime ministerial candidate, there is a possibility of collaboration in the future.

'We have been advocating for the constitution and democracy since the beginning. If the Congress embraces the constitution and accepts the demands and addresses of the Gen-G movement, there will be a possibility of cooperation tomorrow,' she said, 'There is also a thing called time in politics. The newly-called Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) needs time to mature. It may take some more time, but if the Congress makes Gagan the prime ministerial candidate, there is a possibility of cooperation.'

Similarly, another campaigner, Raksha Bam, also said that cooperation would be possible if the Gen-G movement was adopted. 'We are ready to cooperate with every party that adopts our voice, our movement, for change, not just Gagan-Vishva. What we want is reform and change. But now only time will tell about cooperation in political terms,' she said, 'This is my personal matter. But on the issue of the Gen-G front, we will not move forward politically. We will remain as a civil society for now. We are on the streets. But a friend from the front can join a political party of his choice.'
