Govt has lost moral, political grounds to govern: Deuba



KATHMANDU: President of the main opposition Nepali Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that the government has lost the moral and political grounds for ruling the country any more.

Speaking at the first meeting of the budget session, also a parliamentary leader of NC, former PM Deuba said that the activities of the government themselves prove that it has lost the moral ground to rule the country any more.

“The corruption in the health materials procurement, kidnapping of MPs, undemocratic ordinances and many cases like this indicate that the government has no moral and political grounds to rule the country” NC President Deuba said.

He said that despite the attempt to work together with the government, due to the ill-intent activities the efforts are made void the government and the ruling party.

Deuba also complained that the workers rendered jobless and the poor and marginalized people have not got the relief properly.

“Instead of arranging for the starving landless and jobless people, the government has formed the commission for the landless,” he spoke sarcastically of the government’s shift of priorities in the difficult time.

He demanded the government to provide relief to laborers, unemployed, students living in rent, tourism entrepreneurs, journalists, media house and industrial sectors.

He hailed the corruption in health materials and unavailability of the health kits until now as shameful and regrettable.

“The lack of transparency and the procurement at a higher price than the one in the market is inexcusable,” former PM Deuba added, “I demand the guilty be punished strictly.”

He criticized the government for the ill-intent and regressive ordinances the government had tried to introduce lately.
