Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa Calls for End to 'Dirty Game' of Government Formation

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa has stated that the country's politics must now move beyond the dirty game of forming and sustaining governments. Addressing an election program organized in Kathmandu on Sunday, Thapa emphasized the need to make the next five years a 'time for results.'

He claimed that the Congress will establish a new standard of good governance after the upcoming elections by unveiling ambitious plans, ranging from investigating the assets of political leadership to providing economic relief to the middle class. Thapa acknowledged that in past years, all parties were entangled in the business of forming and sustaining governments, stating that the next parliament must address the real problems of the people.

"The tendency where even those with 32 seats want the Prime Ministership and those with few seats demand the Home Ministership has prevented the country from developing," he said. "We want to utilize the next 5 years without wasting a single moment for good governance and development."
