Kathmandu, December 13
CPN-Maoist Centre leader and former Minister for Home Affairs Janardan Sharma says recent provincial and federal parliamentary elections witnessed violent incidents because a plan he prepared while he was at the Ministry could not be implemented.
The incumbent minister without portfolio was relieved of his office after the Maoist party decided to form an electoral alliance with then main opposition CPN-UML. Since then, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has been looking after the Ministry.
“I had prepared a plan after analysing likely security challenges of the elections. But, we had to undergo various incidents as the plan could not be rightly implemented,” Sharma who has recently won the House of Representatives seat from Rukum West tells Onlinekhabar in an interview this morning, “The Prime Minister took charge of the Home Ministry, but he could not directly command and control all activities. Therefore, the violent incidents were more than expected.”
The leader complains that he could not implement a 84-point plan of action that he had prepared after he took the charge of office. He says he had also launched a campaign to make Kathmandu peaceful. “But, I had to leave the Ministry around one and half months after launching the campaign.”
Sharma says PM Deuba does not have a clear vision to lead the nation.
