Change in coalition not big issue: Sharma

By Our Correspondent,Damak, Mar. 13: General Secretary of the Nepali Congress Bishwo Prakash Sharma has said that it will be beneficial to overcome the doubts among the political parties as the change in the power coalition was not a big issue.

Sharma who arrived in Mechinagar in Jhapa on Monday said that everyone should work together to raise people’s living standards and develop the country as it was a shared responsibility of all.

Stating that there was widespread frustration in society, he said that it was necessary to work together to remove the frustration. He said, “We should not take the change in the coalition as a big deal, and we are yet to see how the newly formed coalition government works."

Sharma said that the country was unstable due to some disputes in the parliament resulting in continuous change in the government. He said, “We should contribute to the country's development by leaving doubts.”

Development is possible only if the local levels play a coordinating role.

He also visited the hospital to inquire about the condition of those injured in the clash with the armed police in the border area. 

A week ago, six locals and an armed policeman were seriously injured in a clash between the armed police and locals.
