23 July, Kathmandu:

CPN (Maoist-Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said his party decided to register the no-trust motion against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli as there was nothing impossible in the politics.

Speaking about the no-trust motion against PM Oli at the parliament meeting on Friday, he recalled that both parties had signed a 16-point to deal the national politics, but it was implemented by the ruling partner. He expressed his anathema to the words ‘gentleman agreement’, saying such agreement could not lead to the consensus.

According to him, his party expected for national unity and consensus in the country while it decided to back CPN (UML) Chair to become the Prime Minister with the promulgation of the new constitution. The registration of a no-confidence motion against him was also guided by the same assumption, he argued.

“Registration of no-trust motion and government change is a usual process. Every party always remains effortful to influence others. This trend should be taken normally,” he said, however, pointing out the need of collective efforts among the political parties to face the problems of national level.

Moreover, he said party’s arrival in the existing political process was from a different ground and the logical conclusion of the peace process was its major concern. It was really a challenge to address problems surfaced in the Madhes and Tharuhat regions.

Stating that he had no personal grudge with the Prime Minister, he said the party could not be convinced by the government performance in the past nine months. There were widely differing views between the party will and government performance on the matters of carrying out the post-earthquake reconstruction efforts, handing of blockade and responding to the Madhes agitation.

Leader Dahal accused Prime Minister Oli of being ‘ego-centric’ and ‘self-centric’.

Prime Minister’s performance was like of a single-party government, full of arrogance and self-esteem , he claimed.

Progressive nationality that according to him would help further strengthen internal national unity could not be the priority of the government and it failed to realise problems of all class and community.

Dahal accused Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli of having special attachment with those who do not want federalism and Republic system.

Arguing that although the CPN (Maoist Centre) had aimed at establishing a single communist centre, Oli was found foiling this effort, Chairman Dahal said that such situation was created after PM Oli turned dishonest in implementing recent nine-point and gentleman agreements.

He clarified that they were for settling the situation through talks and consensus in line with the Comprehensive Peace Accord.

Dahal , also the former Prime Minister, confided that the moment CPN-MC came to know about some lawyers close to PM Oli were attempting to hatch a conspiracy against his party, it came as a chilling effects on the CPN-MC.

A reflective Dahal, assuaged his guilt, admitted that they had ended up with nothing when they were the largest party in the first CA election. “We somehow turned gluttonous, but others took advantage of this situation,” he regretted.

He warned the current biggest party may have to share the similar fate if they become too power hungry.

Arguing that the CPN-UML had no alternative to compromise, Dahal spoke of the need to strengthen the national unity. He assured that the vote of no confidence tabled against the PM would not hinder the national consensus.

He cited the then UCPN-Maoist’s proposal during the promulgation of new constitution according to which the process of parliamentary game would be ended. But the proposal was not endorsed.

On a different note, Dahal stated that due to the geo-political condition of Nepal, its national integrity would be kept intact if we could strike balance with the neighbouring countries.

In a revelation, he said,”CPN-UML’s Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal were elected Prime Ministers at my initiations. “Let’s not think of cornering one another whenever the time opportune arises,” he added.

According to him, it was wrong to say that there was no provision for the formation of the new government.
