Congress President Thapa: ”Congress is not a party that compromises its principles just because it lost an election. Our first priority is to win the trust of the people. Congress should be connected to society, not to power. When Congress is connected to society, the people themselves will bring it to power.”

Congress President Gagan Thapa has said that the Congress should be re-established not merely as a party that wins elections and forms governments, but as a political force that leads social transformation. Speaking at a program organized on the occasion of BP Memorial Day on Thursday, he also announced that after the Grassroots Campaign, Congress will now launch the ‘NC for NC (Nepali Congress for National Cause)’ campaign.
At the program, Thapa pointed out that Congress is currently limited to election-focused politics and emphasized the need to move beyond that. “We should not be just like an election machine,” he said, “Congress is not just a party that comes to ask for votes to form a government, it is a party committed to building society. Today, the question is not about our capability, but about our identity.”
He stressed the need to re-establish Congress’s identity as a party connected to society, stating that Congress should be visible wherever there are problems. “Wherever there are problems, Congress should be seen. If disaster strikes, Congress should be seen at the forefront,” he said, “Our politics should not be limited only to the competition for power and authority. Congress must also take the lead on issues of social transformation.”
Thapa expressed the view that politics should not be centered solely on elections.
“Congress is not a party that compromises its convictions just because it loses an election,” he said, “Our first priority is to win the trust of the citizens. Congress should be connected not to power, but to society. Citizens themselves will bring a Congress connected to society into power. For that, we must begin reforms from wherever mistakes have been made.”
