Foul games in loktantra

Kathmandu, 5 September: The ruling Nepal Communist Party’s Secretariat recommended Bamdev Gautam’s name for a nomination as the member of the National Assembly. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, following the party secret directives, decided to nominate Gautam to the post.

Gautam is the NCP leader who had defeated the election for the member of Parliament from a constituency in Bardiya. The nomination of a defeated candidate to the National Assembly and the plan to assign him a minister is not the spirit of the constitution.

However, this is not a new case. Earlier too, NCP spokesman Narayankaji Shrestha, who had defeated the election for the member of Parliament from a constituency in Gorkha, had received party ticket to get elected as the member of the National Assembly. These are the examples of how the leaders in the ruling party are violating the democratic norms and ethics and the example of the failure of the system adopted by the nation.

We have other past examples also. When Madhav Nepal had defeated the election for the membership of the constituent assembly, he was later nominated by the government, who also became the prime minister.

How the limited number of political are violating the democratic norms and how they are exploiting the cream of democracy, we can see in this democracy.
