The scenario is panning out just like that. He has already “played” into the hands of care taker government by promulgating budget ordinance, hence become collaborator to state capture.

Even care taker PM’s speech broadcast today confirms that. He is not going to vacate as long as other parties don’t agree to his terms and his terms include ethnocentric state restructuring in the name of federalism, which will not and should not be acceptable to other parties.

Therefore, this gives care taker PM liberty to send every so often ordinances to the president and which will be promptly promulgated. After president promulgating budget ordinance he has lost both constitutional and moral right to not to accept other ordinances. So we should not be surprised that the other ordinances that are pending with president are promulgated very soon.

In this manner, care taker PM will await other parties to surrender to his terms and until then ordinances will keep on coming without which even president’s kitchen will stay cold (चुलो बल्दैन). Therefore, just to keep fire burning in the kitchens of people like the presidents, budgets by ordinances will have to be promulgated one after another.

I am surprised that president didn’t even worry how will history judge him!

With best regards,

The President will be a collaborator if the ordinance issued or endorsed by him is going to perpeuate the BRB govt. for an indefinite period through the much abused word'capture of state power'

Dear Dr Lohani

Unfortunately, the president ended up playing the role of a collaborator in the state capture by BRB and his cronies. He is aiding them in the rule by ordinance. Posterity will certainly judge him; I just hope not too harshly.

Dear Ratna Sansarji,
We all understand your concern.The Rt.Hon'ble President ,despite his repeated calls to the major parties to reach consensus on a package including the budget, had to endorse the budget .In my opinion, it is still not too late for the President to invoke Article 38(1) of the Interim Constitution and set a deadline for the formation of a national consensus govt failing which the period of uncertainty will constinue .The opposition is so piqued at the moment that it will not sit for some time to agree on a date for the forthcoming elections scheduled to take place in Baisakh next year.In other words, a consensus govt is the need of the hour and the President has a big role to play in facilitating the formation of such a govt.I think the President is equally concerned about the prolonged transition and the longer it continues, the more the political crisis will deepen which is not at all conducive for peace and stability.
All the best and regds,
MP Lohani
