Government run on revenge and fear, alleges Congress VP Acharya

Nepali Congress Vice-President Madhu Acharya has accused the current government of operating on the basis of revenge, anger, fear and illusion.

Speaking at an interaction programme organised by the Reporters' Club Nepal in Kathmandu on Monday, Vice-President Acharya expressed dissatisfaction with the government.

According to him, serious questions have begun to be raised about the government's transparency even before six months have passed since its formation. He said the government's working style, its decision-making process, and the lack of dialogue with stakeholders have created a situation in which middlemen dominate the country.

Acharya said that in the absence of regular dialogue between the executive and stakeholders, middlemen are getting the opportunity to serve their own interests by invoking the government's name. He also demanded that the government clarify the matter of Dan Bahadur Karki's removal from his post.

Vice-President Acharya said the main opposition party is ready to provide the government with the necessary support. However, he alleged that the government itself has not sought to create an environment for cooperation. Acharya also criticised the government for trying to rule through ordinances by bypassing parliament.
