Congress Vice-President accuses govt of rule by vengeance and fear

Kathmandu, November 9 Nepali Congress Vice-President Madhu Acharya has accused the government of operating on the basis of vengeance, anger, fear and confusion. Speaking at an interaction organised by the Reporters Club Nepal in Kathmandu on Monday, Acharya said serious questions about transparency had begun to emerge even before the government completed six months in office.

He said the government’s working style, decision-making process and lack of dialogue with stakeholders had created an environment in which middlemen were gaining influence. Acharya also said the absence of regular communication between the executive and stakeholders had allowed middlemen to exploit the government’s name to serve their own interests.

He said the government must clarify its decision to remove Dan Bahadur Karki from his position. In another context, Acharya said the main opposition party was ready to provide necessary support to the government, but accused the government of failing to create an environment for cooperation.
