Nepali Congress VP Sharma Presents 27-Point Analysis of Election Defeat, Opposes Party President's Resignation

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress Vice President Bishwa Prakash Sharma has presented a 27-point analysis detailing the reasons for the party's defeat in the February 21 elections.

While presenting a brief electoral report during the Central Committee meeting held on Friday, he also proposed that the resignation offered by President Gagan Thapa, who took moral responsibility, should not be accepted.

Sharma's report also mentions 'internal sabotage' within the party during the elections. It states that disciplinary action should be taken against leaders who played the role of 'silent killing' (remaining silent to cause defeat) and 'sabotage'. The report concludes that defeats were suffered even in winnable seats because factions opposed to the special general convention did not support the candidates bearing the 'Tree' symbol. Regarding President Gagan Thapa's resignation, Sharma stated, 'It is not fair to demand results within the short period of 50 days since the special general convention. It is the President's responsibility to manage the party by overcoming adversity; therefore, his resignation should be rejected.'

The report claims that although Congress became the second party in the election, the victory belongs to the democratic and liberal economic policy adopted by the Congress. Sharma concludes that the special general convention saved Congress from the plight of zero results because it infused new energy into the party.

The report emphasizes that Congress must now move forward with a new resolve by correcting past shortcomings and communicating its achievements to the public.
