Frustration in Nepali youths could lead to vacant political system: Gagan Thapa



KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) youth leader Gagan Thapa has said that frustration in Nepali youths witnessing activities of political parties and their leader and cadres can lead to a vacant political system.

With ongoing Maoist rebellion and take over by King Gyanendra who blame the failure of a multiparty system and took all the power but after experiencing two years of regime those youth who praised for “monarchy system” were urged to topple the system by coming into the street leading to second People’s Movement,’ he said.

“It’s not totally complete but reformation to it will help to move forward,” he said.
