Nepal’s political scenario is at the turf of facing yet another crisis for the coming general election for the constituent Assembly. The Baidhaya led CPN-Maoist agitating group have already declared a 10 days general strike beginning from November 11 to 20. The strike has been imposed directly with the intention of sabotaging the November 19 Constituent Assembly election in Nepal.
The alliance of 33 parties have made it clear through their press release that they stand by their decision of the 10-day general strike. The statement further highlights participating and boycotting in election are both political rights of any citizen and the international community cannot interfere in the internal matter. Perhaps, pressuring the agitation is undemocratic.
According to hidden sources most of the leaders involved with the agitation have already changed their contact numbers and have relocated their residences.
Political experts have commented, “Boycotting election may be a political right but creating disturbance to target the election cannot be justified as a political right.”
Nepal’s political scenario is something that is unexpected amidst political difference and ideology, Nepal has landed itself in a deadlock situation where the country is moving further to poverty and corruption. Yes, election will happen as per the arrangements but in absence of the Baidhaya group this election cannot be called democratic.
Looking at the current scenario, things are out of control in Nepal, everyday there are people being targeted or killed in one or the other way. Considering this a yes would be an answer but with so much of money spent and resources used election in Nepal is just a political game that is influenced by the diplomatic pressure. With many hindrances especially in the rural and remote areas where there are more securities issues, election is a situation to be monitored and manage.
