KATHMANDU: Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Chairperson Rajendra Lingden has accused the CPN-UML of failing to break away from past political practices, alleging that the party again engaged in the trading of lawmakers during the formation of the Bagmati Province government.
Addressing the RPP Kathmandu District Convention on Sunday, Lingden said the UML had repeated what he described as the practice of buying and selling lawmakers to influence government formation.
“It seems that a party like the UML has failed to correct the distortions of the past and has repeated the practice of buying and selling MPs,” Lingden said.
He also questioned whether the UML had been able to maintain discipline among its own lawmakers, suggesting that some of them could themselves be susceptible to such practices.
“But what can we say to them when we cannot even tie our own bags properly? What can we say when our own people are ready to be sold like goats?” he said.
