CK Raut bats for directly-elected executive for political stability

Kaski, May 25: Chairman of Janamat Party and Member of the House of Representatives Dr CK Raut has said that directly-elected executive should be embraced for political stability in the country.     

At a programme in Kaski on Saturday, Dr Raut argued that political stability was not maintained due to our political system despite the fact that the constitution has envisioned a socialism-oriented system.     

He viewed that the existing constitutional system will not ensure political stability.     

Dr Raut was of the view that the prime minister and chief ministers of all seven provinces should be elected directly to maintain stability and make people realize the political changes.     

Furthermore, he stated that foreign investment was not brought in due to political instability and added that mega projects could not be developed from our internal resources without foreign investment.     

On the occasion, Dr Raut shared that his party has raised the issue of social democracy in the form of the New Republic concluding that the socialist system alone cannot give an outlet to the country's burning issues. (RSS)
