Nepali Congress Continues to Raise Government Weaknesses in Parliament

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress General Secretary Pradip Poudel has said that the party has been continuously raising the weaknesses of the government in the parliament.

Talking to reporters after the parliamentary party meeting held at Singha Durbar on Saturday, including party officials, he clarified that the party has been raising policy and active issues against the wrong decisions of the government.

'We have not left any issue regarding the government unraised. If the government itself has its ears closed, then nothing can be done about it, but we will continue to raise issues as the opposition,' said General Secretary Poudel. He informed that the party is studying the issues by assigning subject-specific responsibilities to the MPs and will bring out the issues ministry-wise when the time comes.

He said that even though the government claimed to do a hundred tasks in a hundred days, discussions have not even taken place on some issues. He further said, 'It would have been good if this government had set only ten tasks in a hundred days, but by setting a hundred tasks, it seems to be confused itself.'

Accepting that the management of individuals has become complicated as Congress is an old party, he said that efforts are being made to resolve it formally. He mentioned that the Congress is united and some personal dissatisfaction will be resolved through the 15th General Convention, and discussions are ongoing among the leaders on this issue.

After the meeting, Congress leader and MP Abhishek Pratap Shah informed that the meeting was called to discuss the issues raised and to be raised in the parliament in the coming days. Stating that they have been raising public concern issues in the parliament repeatedly, he commented that everyone knows how the Rastriya Swatantra Party is running the parliament.

He said that after the government completes its first hundred days, the Congress party will present itself more strongly in the parliament. Accusing the current government of being focused only on social media and trying to gain cheap popularity among the public, MP Shah claimed that the public has not received any relief from it. He criticized the government, saying that the budget has also added tax on tax on the public.
