KATHMANDU: Prime Minister (PM) Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda has strongly criticized the new alliance formed between the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML.
Addressing a meeting of the Parliament on Friday before seeking a vote of confidence, he made pointed remarks about the coalition.
Prime Minister Dahal alleged that the two largest parties — NC and UML — are united not by shared faith and ideals, but by a fear of good governance.
He stated, “If the first and second largest parties were connected by faith and ideals or a common purpose, it wouldn’t concern me. Instead, you are bound by fear—fear of good governance. For whatever reason UML and Nepali Congress are trying to come together, have the people approved your cooperation or not?”
He also expressed his concerns about regression and autocracy.
The Prime Minister also stated that the NC and CPN-UML came together following the establishment of good governance in the country.
“When good governance began to take root, Nepali Congress and CPN-UML united out of fear,” he stated.
PM Dahal emphasized that in a healthy democracy, the main competing party would not form the government and accused the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML of steering the country toward regression.
