Janakpurdham, Dec 21:
Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has blamed the electoral system behind formation of alliance government. He argued it is the electoral system that ensures inclusion and proportional representation, but single- party majority.
Present electoral system impedes parties to form single-party majority government, so there is no option but to forge coalition, he made it clear. NC President Deuba said it during the first Madhes convention of the party that kicked off here Thursday.
He underlined unity within party to strengthen new system. Party building must be prioritized, Deuba said, arguing that once the party is robust, the system becomes strong.
The NC President further viewed the NC and Madhes must be strong to fend off assaults on recent achievements as federalism and inclusion.
On the occasion, Vice President of the party and Defense Minister Purna Bahadur Khadka said the complaints of Madhes province government on enforcement of federalism would be addressed soon. He reminded that although NC had presented proposal on constitution amendment to address issues of Madhes- centric parties, other parties did not cooperate with this bid.
Another Vice President of the party and Law Minister Dhan Raj Gurung informed that process to make laws required to enforce federalism had begun.
The bad governance has cast down people of late. It is NC’s responsibility to restore people’s faith in governance, General Secretary Thapa viewed, “It is time to act rather than speak to pay heed to people’s hopes and frustration.”
Moreover, another General Secretary Bishwo Prakash Sharma argued that once Madhes smiles, entire country smiles.
Various other leaders addressed the programme.
