The
foundation of democracy through constitutional assembly elections
has been laid in the neighbouring country Nepal. But, how
strong would this base would be is a matter to ponder over.
In recent constitutional elections Maoists have bagged 116
seats out of 213 results declared so far. Nepali Congress
secured 33 seats and CPN (UML)secured 29 seats. 27 results
are awaited. Though the Maoists have got simple majority,
but it is a great victory for them. Now, the Maoists would
play an important role in the government in Nepal. CPN supremo,
Pushp Kamal Dahal alias Prachand and Baburam Bhattarai are
certain to be made President and Prime Minister respectively.
Some of the important allies of ruling alliance have given
indication not to participate in next government. Seven ministers
have given resignation from Koirala government. One of the
Members of Parliament of Nepali Congress has said that Maoists
have got the mandate to form government. Now, the Maoists
have to decide as to how they would form the government. The
basic aim of the election of constituent assembly is to draft
a constitution for the establishment of federal democratic
republic. Elections have been completed only on 240 seats
out of 601 seats of constituent assembly. According to the
rules, the party having majority in 240 seats would have the
right to form government. Thus it is clear that the Maoists
would form the government in Nepal. It is well known that
communists do not believe in following the path of democracy.
The organisation and its head adopt dictatorial attitude.
China is its best example. West Bengal is an example in our
country. Elections are held under the concept of democracy,
but the way of ruling the government remains not democratic.
Thus even through a base for democracy has been laid in Nepal,
but with the forming of government by Maoists, the end of
the government lies within it. A new era of democracy has
been started in Nepal. Let us see what would be the form of
democracy and its attitude.
