Title: Congress-MLA Alliance’s Minimum Shared Agenda: A Path Forward Amidst Political Speculation
Kathmandu – As the Congress and MLA alliance, led by KP Sharma Oli, approaches the 56th day of government formation, the lack of a publicized minimum shared agenda has been a subject of political discourse and speculation. Amidst growing concern, Mahesh Bhardwaj, the Chief Whip of the Maoist Center, has indicated that a seven-point consensus between the two parties is the foundation upon which the government is advancing.
Bhardwaj asserts that the seven-point agreement forms the guiding political principle for the functioning of the government. He states that these seven points, representing political consensus and understanding, are what propel the government forward. He adds that the ease with which questions are raised is indicative of the current political situation.
The seven-point consensus between the Maoist Center and the Congress is the minimum shared agenda for the operation of the government, he said. This seven-point political consensus and political understanding are what lead the government forward.
He also notes that the government is not under the constitutional obligation to present a minimum shared agenda until it is required to align policies, programs, and budgets with the Parliament. Until a declaration is made in the form of a minimum shared agenda, these seven points are the minimum shared agenda for us, upon which we move forward, he explained.
This situation has sparked a debate on the necessity of a minimum shared agenda for the government’s functioning, with some questioning the rationale behind the lack of a publicized agenda. The political dynamics at play suggest that the seven-point consensus is a strategic move to ensure the government’s stability and direction, even without a comprehensive publicized agenda.
