राजाको कुपिछ मैले भनेको िथएँ, नेपालको राजनीितका तीन शक्ितहरू राजा, सात पार्टी र माअोवादीको एक मात्र िमलनिवन्दु भनेको संिवधान सभा हो। त्यित बेला काँग्रेस र एमाले त्यो िवचारमा अाइसकेका िथएनन्। त्यस बुँदामा अाफ्नो सहमित जनाउने अन्ितम व्यक्ित शायद िगिरजा हो। त्यसैले हो मैले िगिरजालाई नेतानमानेको। त्यो महा कन्जरवेिटभ मान्छे। अिहले पिन उसले न गणतन्त्रको कुरामा नेतृत्व देखाएको छ नसंघीय सरकारको कुरामा। बेबी िकङको कुरा उसले झुक्िकएर गर्न पुगेको होइन। उसलाई मात्र पद चािहएकोछ। चुनाव नगराएर यसै संसदलाई संिवधान सभा बनाउन पाए मेरो पद कायमै रहने िथयो भन्ने लोभ छ उसलाई। अथवा चुनाव नै हुन्छ भने पिन अाठ पार्टी एकताको नाममा जनतालाई अल्मल्याउन पाए पद कायम नैरहन्थ्यो िक भन्ने लागेको छ उसलाई। बाहुनवाद, भ्रष्टाचार, भाइभितजावाद, पार्टीहरूिभत्र लोकतन्त्र रपारदर्िशताको कमी अािद इत्यािद जित रोग छ ती सबको प्रतीक िगिरजा।
राजनीित गर्ने पावर र पदकालािग हो, त्यसैले िगिरजाको कुर्सी मोहको िशकायत गर्न िमल्दैन। तरिगिरजाको दादािगरी सहेर बसेका माधव नेपाल र प्रचण्डहरूको व्यवहार बरू अचम्मको छ। अन्तिरम संसदमाएमाले र माअोवादीको बहुमत छ। एमाले पुर्ण समानुपाितक िनर्वाचनको पक्षमा छ। माअोवादी पिन त्यसकोपक्षमा छ। तर ती दुई त्यस बुँदामा िमल्न सकेका छैनन्। त्यसलाई वर्गीय चेतनाको कमी भन्ने िक केभन्ने? कमजोर वर्ग र जातजाितमा एकता कायम गर्नु गार्हो काम हो।
जसरी राजाको कुपिछ संिवधान सभा एक मात्र िमलनिवन्दु िथयो अिहलेको एक मात्र िमलनिवन्दु पुर्णसमानुपाितक िनर्वाचन हो। त्यस िवन्दुमा चाँडो भन्दा चाँडो अाठ पार्टी नअाउने हो भने नभम्वरमा चुनावहुँदैन। नभम्बरमा चुनाव भएन भने देशको राजनीित लथािलङ हुन्छ।
अाठ पार्टीको एकता हुनु कुनै गलत कुरा होइन, तर देशमा अाठदलीय लोकतन्त्र स्थापना गर्ने प्रयास चािहंबेठीक हो।
नभम्वरमा जसरी भए पिन संिवधान सभाको चुनाव हुनुपर्छ। त्यो पुर्ण समानुपाितक अाधारमा गिरनुपर्छ। चुनावपिछ बहुमत पाउने समीकरणले सरकार बनाउँछ। दुइ ितहाइ बहुमतले देशको संिवधानको प्रत्येक धारापािरत गर्दै लान्छ। अगािड जाने बाटो त्यो हो।
प्रािविधक कारणले पिन पुर्ण समानुपाितक िनर्वाचनमा जानुपर्ने अवस्था छ। पुर्ण समानुपाितकिनर्वाचनमा गए िनर्वाचन क्षेत्रहरू पिन कोर्न परेन। त्यो कोर्दा अर्को बखेडा शुरु हुन्छ। अिहले कोिमस्रीत प्रणालीको फर्मुलामा समस्या नै समस्या छन्। िमस्रीत प्रणालीको िभत्रको समानुपाितककोफर्मुलामा नाना थिर समस्या छन्।
२४० जना प्रत्यक्ष िनर्वाचनबाट ल्याउने, २४० जना समानुपाितकबाट, १७ जना क्यािबनेटले मनोिनत गर्नेभन्या छ। प्रत्यक्ष िनर्वाचनकालािग िनर्वाचन क्षेत्र चािहयो, त्यो कोर्न सक्या छैन। समनुपाितकमामधेशीलाई यित प्रितशत, जनजाितलाई यित प्रितशत भन्िदया छ तर त्यो सबै जोड्दा ११६% हुन्छ। मधेशीलाई ३२% भन्िदया छ। त्यो िदने कसले? यो एकदलीय िनर्वाचन हुन लागेको हो? रामचन्द्र पौडेलबाहुनले अोम गुरुङलाई भन्िदयो, प्रत्येक जाितको कमसेकम एक जना संिवधान सभामा राख्िदन्छौं भनेर। त्यो पौडेल बाहुनले पुरा गर्ने कसरी? उसले काँग्रेस पार्टीको तर्फबाट बोलेको हो िक? अाठ पार्टीको तर्फबाटबोलेको हो िक? चुनाव लड्ने प्रत्येक पार्टीको तर्फबाट बोलेको हो िक? मानौं चुनावका दौरान दलीयप्रितस्प्रधा नै हुँदैन। अािदवासी जनजाित महासंघले पौडेल बाहुनको बकम्फुसे वाचाका अाधारमा गएर सरेन्डरगर्िदयो।
पुर्ण समानुपाितक िनर्वाचनमा ब्यालट पेपर एउटा मात्र हुन्छ। जनतालाई सुिवस्ता हुन्छ। िमस्रीत िनर्वाचनको दुई ब्यालटमा जनता हराउँछन्।
पुर्ण समानुपाितक िनर्वाचनको घोषणा हुनुपर्यो। अिन सबैले अा-अाफ्नो िलस्ट जनताकोमा लानुपर्यो। राजतन्त्रको बारेमा अाफ्नो स्पष्ट धारणा जनताका सामु स्पष्ट िकिसमले राख्नुपर्यो। त्यसै गरी प्रत्येकपार्टीले संघीय सरकारको मोटामोटी नक्शा चुनाव अगािड नै जनताका सामुने राख्नुपर्यो। अिहले खुसुक्क भोटदेउ अिन हामी चुनाव पिछ किमशन गठन गरौंला भन्न भएन। त्यसो भन्नु त जनताप्रित बेइमानी हो।

The view from New Delhi Nepali Times, Nepal the Nepali political parties trying to dodge elections and endanger the peace process ..... Missing the November date can have extremely destabilising consequences. ..... the polls can lock the Maoists irreversibly into the mainstream, pave the way for stability, provide a platform to address other grievances and demands, and limit the role of the internationals, especially the UN. ..... Shiv Shankar Mukherjee has told Prime Minister Koirala that the government would face a severe legitimacy crisis if elections do not take place. ...... Pranab Mukherjee is reported to have personally shot down the proposal by Koirala and Dahal idea of converting the present interim legislature into a constituent assembly ....... UNMIN is angling for a political role in the tarai, and even goading madhesi groups to ask for international mediation. ..... New Delhi also blames Koirala for delaying taking a personal lead to appease madhesi groups while the crisis was still manageable. They have tried to get the message across to the prime minister, but say when it comes to the tarai Koirala refuses to listen to them. Officials say they don’t want a further proliferation of madhesi groups and reportedly discouraged mainstream madhesi politicians, including NC and NSP dissidents, from forming a separate party. There have been allegations that India is supporting madhesi armed groups because Goit and Jwala Singh live in Bihar. ....... Nepal is overshadowed by some global crisis or other and this week it is the fallout from the India-US nuclear deal.
Disrupt polls to have polls There are now hardly 90 days to polling date. Minus a month of Dasain-Tihar-Chhath slack in between it’s only two months of serious campaigning. We assumed the legislators would be in a tearing hurry to get back to their electorates. Not so. ...... Compared to the discredited UML and the divided NC, the Maoists have retained their core support base among the dalits and the marginalised section of janjatis. Despite the anti-Maoist tone of the Madhes Uprising, economic disparity in tarai is conducive to the brand of leftwing radicalism espoused by ideologue Baburam Bhattarai. ....... With its middle-class support base, the MJF will offer a political challenge to Rambaran Yadav and Mahantha Thakur rather than to Matrika Yadav and Prabhu Sah. ..... The international community wasn’t terribly enthusiastic about polls in the steaming heat of June. November is different matter altogether. It’s peak tourist season, and every probable international monitor is looking forward to election tourism in the Himalaya in autumn.

He said, groups opting for peaceful solutions should be invited for talks however, those outfits rejecting repeated talks offer from the government must be dealt with properly by using even arms option if the situation so demanded. “The government has failed so far to provide security to its citizens and the CA polls still remains elusive”, Deuba said. He said, nevertheless if security environment becomes stable, his party will actively participate in the CA elections. The country is seen divided over the issue of “unique” representation in the state structure, this may ultimately invite catastrophe, Deuba threatened. “It is only the Maoists’ nuisance the country could not smoothly proceed for the CA elections”, Deuba concluded. To recall, it was Prime Minister Deuba who first initiated KILO-SHERA-2 operation against the Maoists insurgents.

MJF warns of fresh stir The agitating Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) on Thursday threatened to wage fresh round of protest in Terai if the government doesn’t become serious towards fulfilling its demands soon.

The meeting which is due to conclude in Birgunj today is expected to decide on whether to sit for next round of talks with the government scheduled for August 26 or go ahead with their protest programme. The fifth round of talks between the government and the MJF on Tuesday ended without reaching to any conclusion after the latter called off the meeting citing government’s apathy towards its demands which include fully proportional representational election system and federal system of governance with right to self determination.
