Experts have spoken on the topic of '15 Years Missed by BP' on the second day of the ‘BP Literary Festival-2080’ held at the party headquarters in Sanepa on Monday.
Facilitated by Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa, experts Hari Sharma, Bipin Adhikari, Achyut Wagle and Manchala Jha expressed their views on ‘15 years that BP was deprived of'.
Hari Sharma said that due to political prejudice, BP led the government with a two-thirds majority, but could not translate the theoretical concept of democratic socialism into reality because he could not run the government for a full term.
Adhikari, who is also a senior advocate, said that BP was deprived of practicing social and political justice and rule of law.
Economist Wagle said that when BP followed the socialist economic policy, there were signs of economic improvement in the country but it could not continue.
The then government approved BP's concept of economic austerity measures and its proper untilization and the practice started in 2016.
Manchala Jha recalled that the BP-led government worked in favor of inclusiveness and equality and pointed out the need for its policies to be put into practice by today's Nepali Congress.
Fifteen different topics are being discussed in the three-day BP Literary Festival that started on Sunday.
