Joint General Secretary Rana has said, 'Debate strengthens democracy, let no one run away from questions. Nepali Congress is ready for this debate. Are you ready?'
Nepali Congress Joint General Secretary Udaya Shumsher Rana has proposed that those who have been declared prime ministerial candidates by political parties after the upcoming elections should be brought together on a single platform to discuss important issues and policies of the country.
What are the future agendas of those who have been announced as prime ministerial candidates? If they become prime minister, what policies will they take and what work will they do? The public should know this, and for that, they should be debated on a single platform, says Rana.
'This time, almost all major political parties have announced their future prime ministerial candidates before the election. At this time, every citizen has a natural curiosity, why not put these prime ministerial candidates on one platform and have a public debate?' Rana asks, 'What are their concrete policies, plans and programs for nation-building? What is their perspective on the economy, employment, education, health, and good governance?'
The Congress has declared President Gagan Thapa, the UML has declared President KP Sharma Oli, and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has declared senior leader Balendra Shah as prime ministerial candidates.
Rana says that joint debates will give the general public an opportunity to understand the prime ministerial candidates closely. He says that this will make it easier for voters to make prudent decisions when exercising their voting rights in the election.
'Debate strengthens democracy, let no one run away from questions,' Rana has said, 'The Nepali Congress is ready for this debate. Are you ready?'
