The future of the Nepali Congress depends on its ability to evolve while staying rooted in its values

A fusion of Balen Shah and the Rastriya Swatantra Party makes this election’s result representative of the Gen Z mandate.

Such a supermajority means the government has no excuses. It will have the power to resolve everything within the parliament.

I wasn’t looking for anything specific, but Nepal has shown me spirituality in unexpected ways.

The countries that develop good universities have a clear vision, they invest consistently in education and research, and commit to long-term development.

If the Election Commission becomes punitive in order to impose the code of conduct, the situation will not be pleasant for the parties or candidates.

Leaders will only follow the election code of conduct when they are compelled to do so by legislation.

Security forces will not allow any group to compromise the democratic right of 18.9 million citizens to cast their ballots.

Through structural reforms, the Gen Z spirit will be fully integrated into the party’s permanent structure.

Use of force on Gen Z protesters fell outside standards of legitimacy, necessity and proportionality.

Leaders are still using rhetoric to shape their narrative rather than engaging in substantive policy work.

Chairman Rabi Lamichhane has committed not to intervene in government functioning if Balendra Shah becomes prime minister.

Every 10 years, we should review the constitution in order to reflect the aspirations of the people. However, the changes must not be forced from the streets.

An agreement should be implementable. I do not think the one between the Gen Z representatives and the government will be implemented in full.

Our first agenda is to restructure the party leadership. In this context, we hope Chairman Oli will hand over power voluntarily.

We produce enough doctors, including specialists. The problem lies in our failure to create enough lucrative positions for those doctors.

Based on the current situation, more than 132,000 temporary police personnel will be required for election security.

Education needs to be linked with economic development and employment so that people can be educated accordingly to make them independent.
