National Liberation Party Chairman Rajendra Mahato Expresses Serious Dissatisfaction with Government's 100-Day Performance

Kathmandu. National Liberation Party Nepal Chairman Rajendra Mahato has expressed serious dissatisfaction with the current government's 100-day performance. He accused the current government of moving towards the old discriminatory and authoritarian tendencies.

Issuing a statement on Saturday, Chairman Mahato mentioned that the recent mandate was not just for a change of government but an expression of decades of accumulated public dissatisfaction, pain, and rebellion.

He stated that the aspirations of the oppressed communities cannot be fulfilled unless the state's singular thinking, policy, and structure are changed. He also accused the government of institutionalizing discrimination through policies such as removing poor and landless settlements, treating border citizens harshly, weakening proportional inclusivity, and imposing taxes on education and health.

His statement also said that the budget has protected intermediary capitalism and ignored the interests of farmers, youth, women, and provinces.

Mahato welcomed the debate on constitutional amendment but made it clear that attempts to weaken federalism would not be acceptable.

He opined that real reform is not possible unless a multi-national state structure of 10+1 provinces and 24 autonomous regions based on the majority report of the State Restructuring Commission, equitable revenue sharing, proportional inclusivity, government services in provincial languages, and equal representation are ensured.

Furthermore, he demanded that the government withdraw the false cases filed during the movement and make the Lal Commission report public.

Chairman Mahato claimed that Nepal has reached a state of crisis regarding existence, sovereignty, people's rights, identity, culture, and self-governance, and emphasized the need to build an alternative political path rising above party interests.

He mentioned that common cooperation among democratic, identity-based, and change-seeking forces is essential for a new national renaissance based on civilization, self-governance, and prosperity.

Chairman Mahato called upon all political parties, intellectuals, civil society, youth, farmers, and laborers to unite in a common campaign for the construction of a just, inclusive, and dignified Nepal, and stated that the National Liberation Party Nepal is ready to contribute in every way necessary for it.
