NC Mahasamiti meet: General Secretary Thapa's call-out against pre-election alliance

Lalitpur, Feb 21: Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary Gagan Kumar Thapa has presented a proposal that his party should not form a pre-election alliance.

In the ongoing policy conclave of the party- Mahasamiti meeting- at Godawari, General Secretary Thapa floated the proposal that NC shunned political alliance with any party in the periodic election in the future. 

"The Mahasamiti meeting's resolution is a must on contesting the upcoming periodic election on its own," he viewed, pressing for creating an enabling environment where the voters could cast their vote for Nepali Congress.

In the 38-page organizational proposal, Thapa called for making NC more energetic and dynamic and increasing the public's confidence in the party and re-establishing itself as a party that could alone secure a two-thirds majority.

He however said NC is aware of demonstrating political honesty as per commitments made with the public and agreement with coalition partners during the election. 

According to him, good governance should be the main mantra for NC-led governments at all three levels with effective public service delivery.  

He further asserted that the NC should take ownership of the constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic, which was promulgated under the leadership of the party itself, and it should protect and implement the national charter with high level of confidence. Furthermore, the General Secretary proposed party determination to unite the entire party at every level and make it further active in line with the party's aspiration- 'Prosperous Nepal: Honoured Nepali'.

He, in the proposal, highlighted the need for the party to prioritize the issues and concerns of the public and communities and make the party a center of excellence through debate, dialogues, training and discussion and adopt a policy of zero-tolerance against corruption in all forms and make the party a catalyst for social transformation. 

The meeting, the party's main policy-making body, has over 2,200 representatives taking part in the four-day event. (RSS)
