Nepali Congress President Thapa Pledges 'Golden' Five Years for Nepal

Karnali. Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa has stated that the next five years will be dedicated to working towards making the country golden.

Addressing the Congress's Karnali Province-level election rally in Surkhet on Thursday, President Thapa urged everyone to ensure the Congress wins the House of Representatives election scheduled for Falgun 21 to make the country's next five years historically golden.

He said, "The past 5/6 years were spent only on forming and changing governments. This has frustrated the youth. While the country needed to gain momentum, coalition politics has tainted it in some way. Now, we are appealing for the five years from 2082 to 2087. We have come with the dream of making the history of Nepal golden through this opportunity. We know Nepal's limitations. We will fix them. We have published a manifesto. We will not wait for five years. Congress will say, 'It's Baisakh 1, and we did this work in one month.' It will say, 'It's Jestha 1, and we did these works in one month.'"

President Thapa stated that he is ready to sit at a collective table with all parties regarding the five-year plan. However, he noted that no one is ready for this, and mentioned that Karnali should not believe anyone if they engage in any drama.

He said, "Let UML come, let the Communist Party of Nepal come, and let Rastriya Swatantra Party come. No one will come when invited to sit on the same stage to plan."

President Thapa further stated that no unarmed Nepali should lose their life, and no masked individual should burn Singha Durbar again. He said, "No unarmed person should lose their life from government bullets. No masked individual should burn Singha Durbar anymore."

President Thapa suggested that taking responsibility for the agitation of Bhadra 23, but not for the destruction of Bhadra 24, could lead the country to disaster in the future as well.
