KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 19 Nepali Congress (NC) President Gagan Kumar Thapa has described the period from 2046 BS to 2051 BS-when the party led successive governments-as a 'golden era' in Nepal's political history. Speaking at an open question-and-answer session on Thursday during the launch of the party's commitment letter for the upcoming House of Representatives (HoR) election, President Thapa stated that many of the country's enduring economic achievements stem from the reforms introduced during that period. According to him, the foundations of Nepal's present economic development were laid between 2046 BS and 2051 BS, when the NC initiated significant economic reforms. NC President Thapa further remarked that the nation must now chart a clear course toward greater economic prosperity. Thapa also maintained that a review of Nepal's major public policies reveals that they were largely shaped by reforms implemented under NC leadership. He recalled that party stalwarts, including BP Koirala, were visionary leaders who formulated policies with a long-term perspective, looking three decades ahead. 'We will continue to highlight our glorious history and achievements,' he said, adding that the party would also revisit its past struggles. He emphasised that the NC possesses a clear vision and roadmap for ensuring economic progress and prosperity over the next 30 years.
