CHITWAN, FEBRUARY 22
General-Secretary of Nepali Congress Gagan Kumar Thapa has said that ruling partners are not expected to vote against the proposal brought by the government.
Talking to mediapersons here today, Thapa said that being part of the government and voting against the government's proposal would be unethical and impractical.
He added, "It will be unethical and non-political to say we are the ruling coalition after casting vote against the government's proposal. It is not possible to be the ruling alliance if the ruling partners cast vote against government's proposal."
The NC general secretary expressed the belief that all the parties would cast vote in favour of the MCC deal after discussion.
Saying the incumbent government had tabled the proposal brought by the then UML-led government without any change, he urged political leaders not to change their opinions on MCC while remaining out of government.
He further said NC would train its rank and file to speak in favour of the MCC compact.
Thapa mentioned, "We want to make it clear before the people why the NC is in favour of MCC compact. The party's rank and file is in its favour."
