KATHMANDU, Feb 12: Rastriya Prajatantra Party (Samyukta) Chair Pashupati Shumsher J B Rana has claimed that both the government and the opposition have become unsuccessful.

“The government and Nepali Congress both have failed. They have failed to utilize the opportunities in interest of people and the country,” said Rana at an interaction program organized by the Reporters’ Club Nepal on Tuesday.

“The government is stable now. But, they have achieved very less during their one-year period,” he added.

“Our turn has arrived now. If they keep failing to work as per the expectations of the people, monarchy can return.”

He also accused the incumbent government failing to control corruption. “Oli said that he would eradicate corruption from the root. But he has failed to put his words into action. Billions of rupees was misappropriated while procuring two wide-body aircrafts,” said Rana.

He also said that the incumbent government has failed to maintain balance in diplomatic level.

“Nepal Communist Party Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s statement on the US intervention on Venezuela political crisis has strained the diplomatic ties with the US,” he said.

“The government had no rush to speak on the Venezuela issue,” he added.

KATHMANDU, July 14: Pashupati Shumsher Rana, senior leader of Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has condemned the party Chair Kamal Thapa to have exercised monopoly and used the party as his personal property to further his political interest.

“I heard about the nomination in the news reports. I didn’t know about it,” said Rana. “The decision should be repelled at once and save the party from further disaster.”

Club’s chairman Rishi Dhamala presided over the program.

He said, “The 11-point agreement and 25-point order issued by the President to clear constitutional obstacles, current government and November 4 election will not be changed.”

“How talks could be held as the CPN-Maoist is demanding termination of these all,” he questioned.

On the occasion, Chairman of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Nepal Upendra Yadav said election on November 19 is impossible until their grievances were addressed. Election under the current circumstance is like staging a drama, he blamed.

He said, “The 25-point President’s order is obstacle. That should be corrected. A single person cannot be the Prime Minister and Chief Justice.”
