KATHMANDU: Dr. Swarnim Wagle, Vice Chair of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), has accused major political parties of forming the current government to protect the interests of a few corrupt individuals.
Speaking at an RSP event organized by the Umakund–Kathmandu Contact Committee on Saturday, Waglé claimed that unlike past coalition efforts aimed at national stability after major political changes, the present alliance is a rare and unfortunate example of power-sharing motivated by the need to shield corruption cases.
He alleged that the government used constitutional amendment talks as a mere excuse to justify the coalition and accused ministers of a government that promised prosperity and good governance of being embroiled in corruption themselves.
Waglé also criticized the government for portraying the arrest of party chair Rabi Lamichhane as a major political achievement. He warned that the ruling parties would soon face public backlash for their actions.
He further revealed that over 2.8 million Nepalis have signed in support of Lamichhane.
