The leader of the main opposition party, Nepali Congress, Bhishma Raj Angdembey, has made it clear that his party will not be stingy in praising positive works of the government.
Taking time from the Speaker in today's meeting of the House of Representatives, he stated that he would view the government's efforts over the 100-day period positively.
MP Angdembey said, "The government has been active on issues like good governance, corruption control, administrative reforms, service delivery, and some structural reforms. Where there has been positive work, Nepali Congress does not hold back from praising it. Because when the government succeeds, ultimately the ones who benefit are the Nepali people and Nepal, the country."
He viewed that in a democracy, the government's evaluation comes from the citizens' experiences, and that the government's assessment should come from respect for the constitution, accountability to parliament, and the credibility of public institutions.
"Asking questions in a democracy is not opposing, it is a responsibility. We need to move forward by building a common understanding on matters of national importance. We support the government for strengthening the democratic system and making justified amendments to the constitution. If the government reaches out for national consensus, Congress is always ready to play a positive role.
We want the government to succeed because when the government succeeds, it is the Nepali people who succeed. It will bring change to the lives of the Nepali people," he said.
Leader Angdembey urged for a lasting solution to the squatter problem. He also suggested that all parties in parliament, parties outside parliament, various parties, and constitutional law experts should engage in dialogue in drafting the constitution. The NC parliamentary leader said that the process of constitutional amendment should be moved forward in a cross-party manner.
He emphasized that the government needs to come up with an effective plan to control elephants, after a single elephant attack killed 25 people and four members of the same family lost their lives in a tragic incident.
"In such a situation, just distributing relief does not fulfill the state's responsibility. There should be an immediate implementation of long-term policies to protect citizens' lives and crops from wild animals, an effective rescue mechanism, and arrangements for quick intervention," he demanded.
