<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What has Nepali Congress done so far to bring the disgruntled parties on board for the election?</strong></div>
<div>
NC holds the view that none of the forces should be left out during the constitution drafting process. Every political force, irrespective of their ideologies and thoughts, should join this process. Unlike regular elections of the legislative parliament, this is the election of the CA which will have a long term impact in the country. And so, NC is holding dialogues with agitating parties through the High Level Political Committee as well as on its own. We are confident that the Mohan Baidhya-led 33-party alliance will contest the upcoming election.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>But the leaders of CPN-Maoist have been publicly saying that they will not contest the election?</strong></div>
<div>
Negotiations with the Baidhya-led alliance are underway. Some of their demands have already been addressed in the six-point deal with the Upendra Yadav-led Federal Democratic Front. They should trade off some demands at the table talks, while few should be considered by the HLPC. They will soon agree on a deal if they are really honest towards finding an outlet for the current political impasse, which means holding the CA polls in the scheduled date.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What do you think are the reasons for your party’s defeat by the Maoist during last CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The main reason was that our party failed to convey to the people that NC was the harbinger of political change in the country. Consequently, the ultra left party assertively established itself among the people that it was the driver of that change. Likewise, NC did not make a justifiable decision while choosing candidates for the election, which created a deep rift and animosity among the party leaders and cadres. The election campaigns largely failed to create an environment in favour of the party and woo the people towards it. Equally responsible for the defeat of our party was the intimidation, violence and psychological terror spread by the Maoists. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What should be the strategy of your party to win the upcoming CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The party should come forth clearly on its political, social and economic position in the changed political context. It can take reference from the discourse and debate that took place in the erstwhile CA. The traditional force, mainly the monarchy, was against our party then, and now it’s the Maoists that are posing challenges to democracy through violent means. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Similarly, issuing tickets to election contestants should be more transparent and judicious. Unity within in the party should be maintained as well. We should convince the people that only NC can ensure the promulgation of the constitution. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Isn’t NC still a divided house?</strong></div>
<div>
Since NC is a democratic party, leaders can publicly put their dissenting voices to the fore. It seems like the party is divided. However, the dissenting voices will not be official until they get endorsed in the party. The endorsed decision is the official line.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Do you think the Maoists are still ultra-left forces even after joining mainstream politics?</strong></div>
<div>
The Maoists don’t call themselves an ultra-left force but their violent activities suggest otherwise. They are yet to detach themselves completely from violence. Still they are guided by the thought that ‘power grows out of the barrel of a gun’. Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s frequent statements and directives to the YCL corroborate this.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>How do you assess the character of the Maoists?</strong></div>
<div>
There is a perception that the Maoists have now become corrupt, which I think is not true. They were always corrupt but this fact has only become public now. They are now living lavish lives from the wealth they amassed during the war. They create illusions among the people about their progressive agendas, but the NC should unmask these falsehoods.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It is said that the old leaders in your party are rigid in giving opportunity to youngsters. Do you think your party will allow more young leaders like you to contest the elections?</strong></div>
<div>
The party runs through democratic exercise. We should not challenge senior leaders’ contributions to the party and sideline them. However, our leaders should happily entertain the ideas brought forth by younger members. </div>

As the day of election approaches, The Corporate’s <strong>Siromani Dhungana</strong> and <strong>Sagar Ghimire</strong> spoke to Ghimire on the party’s preparation for the upcoming election and a review of its defeat in the last election. <strong>Excerpts:</strong></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What has Nepali Congress done so far to bring the disgruntled parties on board for the election?</strong></div>
<div>
NC holds the view that none of the forces should be left out during the constitution drafting process. Every political force, irrespective of their ideologies and thoughts, should join this process. Unlike regular elections of the legislative parliament, this is the election of the CA which will have a long term impact in the country. And so, NC is holding dialogues with agitating parties through the High Level Political Committee as well as on its own. We are confident that the Mohan Baidhya-led 33-party alliance will contest the upcoming election.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>But the leaders of CPN-Maoist have been publicly saying that they will not contest the election?</strong></div>
<div>
Negotiations with the Baidhya-led alliance are underway. Some of their demands have already been addressed in the six-point deal with the Upendra Yadav-led Federal Democratic Front. They should trade off some demands at the table talks, while few should be considered by the HLPC. They will soon agree on a deal if they are really honest towards finding an outlet for the current political impasse, which means holding the CA polls in the scheduled date.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What do you think are the reasons for your party’s defeat by the Maoist during last CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The main reason was that our party failed to convey to the people that NC was the harbinger of political change in the country. Consequently, the ultra left party assertively established itself among the people that it was the driver of that change. Likewise, NC did not make a justifiable decision while choosing candidates for the election, which created a deep rift and animosity among the party leaders and cadres. The election campaigns largely failed to create an environment in favour of the party and woo the people towards it. Equally responsible for the defeat of our party was the intimidation, violence and psychological terror spread by the Maoists. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What should be the strategy of your party to win the upcoming CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The party should come forth clearly on its political, social and economic position in the changed political context. It can take reference from the discourse and debate that took place in the erstwhile CA. The traditional force, mainly the monarchy, was against our party then, and now it’s the Maoists that are posing challenges to democracy through violent means. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Similarly, issuing tickets to election contestants should be more transparent and judicious. Unity within in the party should be maintained as well. We should convince the people that only NC can ensure the promulgation of the constitution. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Isn’t NC still a divided house?</strong></div>
<div>
Since NC is a democratic party, leaders can publicly put their dissenting voices to the fore. It seems like the party is divided. However, the dissenting voices will not be official until they get endorsed in the party. The endorsed decision is the official line.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Do you think the Maoists are still ultra-left forces even after joining mainstream politics?</strong></div>
<div>
The Maoists don’t call themselves an ultra-left force but their violent activities suggest otherwise. They are yet to detach themselves completely from violence. Still they are guided by the thought that ‘power grows out of the barrel of a gun’. Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s frequent statements and directives to the YCL corroborate this.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>How do you assess the character of the Maoists?</strong></div>
<div>
There is a perception that the Maoists have now become corrupt, which I think is not true. They were always corrupt but this fact has only become public now. They are now living lavish lives from the wealth they amassed during the war. They create illusions among the people about their progressive agendas, but the NC should unmask these falsehoods.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It is said that the old leaders in your party are rigid in giving opportunity to youngsters. Do you think your party will allow more young leaders like you to contest the elections?</strong></div>
<div>
The party runs through democratic exercise. We should not challenge senior leaders’ contributions to the party and sideline them. However, our leaders should happily entertain the ideas brought forth by younger members. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Personally, I don’t harbour ambitions for any post, but I believe the party leaders will be wise in identifying potential candidates to contest in the CA elections.</div>

As the day of election approaches, The Corporate’s <strong>Siromani Dhungana</strong> and <strong>Sagar Ghimire</strong> spoke to Ghimire on the party’s preparation for the upcoming election and a review of its defeat in the last election. <strong>Excerpts:</strong></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What has Nepali Congress done so far to bring the disgruntled parties on board for the election?</strong></div>
<div>
NC holds the view that none of the forces should be left out during the constitution drafting process. Every political force, irrespective of their ideologies and thoughts, should join this process. Unlike regular elections of the legislative parliament, this is the election of the CA which will have a long term impact in the country. And so, NC is holding dialogues with agitating parties through the High Level Political Committee as well as on its own. We are confident that the Mohan Baidhya-led 33-party alliance will contest the upcoming election.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>But the leaders of CPN-Maoist have been publicly saying that they will not contest the election?</strong></div>
<div>
Negotiations with the Baidhya-led alliance are underway. Some of their demands have already been addressed in the six-point deal with the Upendra Yadav-led Federal Democratic Front. They should trade off some demands at the table talks, while few should be considered by the HLPC. They will soon agree on a deal if they are really honest towards finding an outlet for the current political impasse, which means holding the CA polls in the scheduled date.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What do you think are the reasons for your party’s defeat by the Maoist during last CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The main reason was that our party failed to convey to the people that NC was the harbinger of political change in the country. Consequently, the ultra left party assertively established itself among the people that it was the driver of that change. Likewise, NC did not make a justifiable decision while choosing candidates for the election, which created a deep rift and animosity among the party leaders and cadres. The election campaigns largely failed to create an environment in favour of the party and woo the people towards it. Equally responsible for the defeat of our party was the intimidation, violence and psychological terror spread by the Maoists. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What should be the strategy of your party to win the upcoming CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The party should come forth clearly on its political, social and economic position in the changed political context. It can take reference from the discourse and debate that took place in the erstwhile CA. The traditional force, mainly the monarchy, was against our party then, and now it’s the Maoists that are posing challenges to democracy through violent means. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Similarly, issuing tickets to election contestants should be more transparent and judicious. Unity within in the party should be maintained as well. We should convince the people that only NC can ensure the promulgation of the constitution. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Isn’t NC still a divided house?</strong></div>
<div>
Since NC is a democratic party, leaders can publicly put their dissenting voices to the fore. It seems like the party is divided. However, the dissenting voices will not be official until they get endorsed in the party. The endorsed decision is the official line.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Do you think the Maoists are still ultra-left forces even after joining mainstream politics?</strong></div>
<div>
The Maoists don’t call themselves an ultra-left force but their violent activities suggest otherwise. They are yet to detach themselves completely from violence. Still they are guided by the thought that ‘power grows out of the barrel of a gun’. Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s frequent statements and directives to the YCL corroborate this.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>How do you assess the character of the Maoists?</strong></div>
<div>
There is a perception that the Maoists have now become corrupt, which I think is not true. They were always corrupt but this fact has only become public now. They are now living lavish lives from the wealth they amassed during the war. They create illusions among the people about their progressive agendas, but the NC should unmask these falsehoods.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It is said that the old leaders in your party are rigid in giving opportunity to youngsters. Do you think your party will allow more young leaders like you to contest the elections?</strong></div>
<div>
The party runs through democratic exercise. We should not challenge senior leaders’ contributions to the party and sideline them. However, our leaders should happily entertain the ideas brought forth by younger members. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Personally, I don’t harbour ambitions for any post, but I believe the party leaders will be wise in identifying potential candidates to contest in the CA elections.</div>

<strong>What has Nepali Congress done so far to bring the disgruntled parties on board for the election?</strong></div>
<div>
NC holds the view that none of the forces should be left out during the constitution drafting process. Every political force, irrespective of their ideologies and thoughts, should join this process. Unlike regular elections of the legislative parliament, this is the election of the CA which will have a long term impact in the country. And so, NC is holding dialogues with agitating parties through the High Level Political Committee as well as on its own. We are confident that the Mohan Baidhya-led 33-party alliance will contest the upcoming election.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>But the leaders of CPN-Maoist have been publicly saying that they will not contest the election?</strong></div>
<div>
Negotiations with the Baidhya-led alliance are underway. Some of their demands have already been addressed in the six-point deal with the Upendra Yadav-led Federal Democratic Front. They should trade off some demands at the table talks, while few should be considered by the HLPC. They will soon agree on a deal if they are really honest towards finding an outlet for the current political impasse, which means holding the CA polls in the scheduled date.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What do you think are the reasons for your party’s defeat by the Maoist during last CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The main reason was that our party failed to convey to the people that NC was the harbinger of political change in the country. Consequently, the ultra left party assertively established itself among the people that it was the driver of that change. Likewise, NC did not make a justifiable decision while choosing candidates for the election, which created a deep rift and animosity among the party leaders and cadres. The election campaigns largely failed to create an environment in favour of the party and woo the people towards it. Equally responsible for the defeat of our party was the intimidation, violence and psychological terror spread by the Maoists. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What should be the strategy of your party to win the upcoming CA polls?</strong></div>
<div>
The party should come forth clearly on its political, social and economic position in the changed political context. It can take reference from the discourse and debate that took place in the erstwhile CA. The traditional force, mainly the monarchy, was against our party then, and now it’s the Maoists that are posing challenges to democracy through violent means. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Similarly, issuing tickets to election contestants should be more transparent and judicious. Unity within in the party should be maintained as well. We should convince the people that only NC can ensure the promulgation of the constitution. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Isn’t NC still a divided house?</strong></div>
<div>
Since NC is a democratic party, leaders can publicly put their dissenting voices to the fore. It seems like the party is divided. However, the dissenting voices will not be official until they get endorsed in the party. The endorsed decision is the official line.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Do you think the Maoists are still ultra-left forces even after joining mainstream politics?</strong></div>
<div>
The Maoists don’t call themselves an ultra-left force but their violent activities suggest otherwise. They are yet to detach themselves completely from violence. Still they are guided by the thought that ‘power grows out of the barrel of a gun’. Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s frequent statements and directives to the YCL corroborate this.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>How do you assess the character of the Maoists?</strong></div>
<div>
There is a perception that the Maoists have now become corrupt, which I think is not true. They were always corrupt but this fact has only become public now. They are now living lavish lives from the wealth they amassed during the war. They create illusions among the people about their progressive agendas, but the NC should unmask these falsehoods.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It is said that the old leaders in your party are rigid in giving opportunity to youngsters. Do you think your party will allow more young leaders like you to contest the elections?</strong></div>
<div>
The party runs through democratic exercise. We should not challenge senior leaders’ contributions to the party and sideline them. However, our leaders should happily entertain the ideas brought forth by younger members. </div>
