Dahal claims NC, CPN-UML crazy about generating his assistance
Presidential election to be held on March 9
PM Dahal restated the
requirement for wider national agreement to achieve the goals of advancement and financial success
Resolving a program arranged at Tundhikhel today, the PM said he favoured broader national agreement to conclude the staying jobs of the
peace process, to change individualss lives, and to develop foreign relations with other countries in independent and well balanced
manner.The PMs use of the phrase broader national agreement, is being translated as his priority to choose the new president on the basis of
national consensus.Ever because the PM got 99 percent votes, including that of the Nepali Congress, during the vote of self-confidence, the
PM and his party leaders have been saying that in order to reflect the nationwide agreement seen throughout the trust vote, it was important
that the new president was acceptable to all forces.CPN-MC leaders persistence on an agreement presidential candidate has, nevertheless, not
found favour with UML leaders, who declare that they had got assurances from the CPN-MC that it would support the UML prospect for
president.They have been condemning the CPN-MC for going back on its word.UML Chair KP Sharma Oli has actually held multiple rounds of talks
with Dahal, but the two leaders have actually not yet created agreement on the new president.Olis track record of liquifying the HoR twice
during his premiership, President Bidhya Devi Bhandaris support of Olis questionable relocations, and Olis ongoing justification of House
dissolution in the new HoR are the primary reasons Dahal and other CPN-MC leaders are averse to supporting the UMLs candidate for the head
of state.CPN-MC leader Matrika Prasad Yadav said if the UML stopped working to offer a prospect acceptable to all political forces, his
celebration might support a prospect devoted to the existing federal, republican, democratic system.Yadav said Olis justification of his
choice to liquify the HoR twice was the main stumbling block
He said Oli assisted promote the new constitution to end up being the PM and he violated the constitution to stay the PM.Even the NC leaders
seem persuaded that the PM was figured out not to offer the post of president to the UML
An NC leader said that by providing the post of president to the NC, Dahal may guarantee that he would remain the PM for a fullfive year
term.When asked who would be the NCs presidential prospect if the CPN-MC accepts back its candidate, the senior leader took Ramchandra
Paudels name.Senior NC leader Bimalendra Nidhi said celebration President Sher Bahadur Deuba would not be the presidential prospect as he
wanted to play an active function in the HoR.Meanwhile, the CPN (Unified Socialist) Chair Madhav Kumar Nepal today said at a program
arranged by his partys trainee wing, that the fate of the current coalition depends upon the presidential election arranged for March 9
He stated CPN-MC leaders feared that if the post of president was given to the CPN- UML, the UML might put in undue pressure on the PM to
have its say in running the government.A version of this short article appears in the print on February 20, 2023, of The Himalayan Times
