Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa has presented at the central working committee meeting the political report he plans to submit at the party’s 15th general convention.
The report outlines the party’s political, ideological, organizational, and economic roadmap for the next four years. It covers a self-assessment of the party’s past, vigilance toward the government, a policy of not forming pre-election alliances, party restructuring, cooperation with the private sector, youth participation, and the concept of a “Prosperous Nepal, Respected Nepali.”
The report prepared by Thapa acknowledges that over the past two decades, the Nepali Congress has prioritized positions and power over its core objectives. It states that the politics of coalition management, power-sharing, factionalism, and transaction has weakened the party's moral ground, while the tendency to protect one’s own people involved in corruption and irregularities has undermined the autonomy of public institutions.
Self-reflecting on the growing distance between the party and the younger generation along with the failure to understand the changing expectations of citizens, the report notes that a resolution for party reform was made through an apology to the public through the second special general convention.
