CPN-UML Interprets Rise of Rastriya Swatantra Party as 'Abnormal'

Kathmandu. CPN (UML) has interpreted the rise of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) in Nepali politics through the general elections as an 'abnormal and unnatural' event. In an internal document released regarding the relevance and work plan of the party's special campaign 'Mission Party Jagaran 2083', UML claims that the rise of RSP is a result of Nepal's unstable politics and geopolitical maneuvering.

UML's analysis is that the public, disappointed by the dissolution of the then Nepal Communist Party (NCP) after the 2074 elections and the split of CPN (UML), was attracted to an alternative force, leading to the current situation. The document states, 'The party launched various campaigns immediately after the elections to stop the impact of the rise of an alternative force based on the foundation of populism, anarchism, and opportunism on Nepali politics.'

The circular calls the result the party faced in the general elections of 2082 as an 'unexpected and unnatural defeat'. UML admits that this has demoralized the party's leaders and cadres and worried its supporters. UML claims that the electoral setback occurred because the public was not properly informed about the government's plans, work, and results, and because misinformation spread against the party could not be refuted in time.

CPN (UML) has written in the document, 'At this time, the future of Nepal's communist movement, the democratic movement, and the sovereignty of Nepal itself are in crisis.'

To face the existing crisis and challenges, UML has announced the 'Mission Party Jagaran 2083' campaign. UML states that the main objectives of this campaign are to dispel the despair among party workers and re-establish broken relationships with the public. 

UML has put forward a plan to effectively implement the '6 J' policy, stating that its party needs to be strong and consolidated to return the country to a safe democratic path. This includes going to the people, listening to the people's concerns, becoming popular, mobilizing people's organizations, embracing the People's Multi-Party and Competitive Democracy (Jana Bahudaliya Janabad), and preparing capable leadership based on public opinion surveys.
