Bhattarai blames Nepali Congress for 2017 King Mahendra coup d’état

Telegraph Nepal

Who was primarily responsible for late King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah in sacking the elected government led by Nepali Congress in 2017 B.S.?

Was it Mahendra’s insatiable political ambitions or the leadership failure on the part of Nepali Congress that forced the then King to take over the charge of the nation?

Vice Chairman of Unified Maoists party Babu Ram Bhattarai opines that it was the reckless behavior of Nepali Congress that encouraged King Mahendra to stage a coup d’etat.

To tame the highhanded attitude of Nepali Congress leadership, King Mahendra and the Panchayat regime that ruled the country for the next thirty years were instrumental in nurturing communists in Nepal, observers believe.

Addressing a program in Ratnanagar of Chitwan District, April 30, 2011 Bhattarai viewed that similar situation could arise when the long fought changes could go to the dogs due to the myopic behavior of the political parties.

“If we fail to draft the constitution, a situation similar to 2017 B.S. could emerge once again”, he opined.

But, Bhattarai preferred not to disclose which force on earth was plotting a takeover a la 2017 B.S.

“Similar to visionless politics of political parties then that led to the 2017 event, we may have to face similar fate after May 28”, he said and added, “All parties should develop common thinking to avert the lurking political crisis.”

“We can extend the CA tenure by maximum six more months and within that extended tenure we must draft the Constitution as preferred by the people”, he said.

  • Any awerage person in modern Occident will distrust the word of a 'maoist' minded person...no matter if being Chairman of a so called Constituency, pretenciously legitimated by a will's people. Simply, such kind of language does not match human reason. Had been investigated further the massacre of the Royal family, we will be not totally surprised at the personnages involved.Presently, all of them are sitting comfortably in Parliament...chairs. Quo bono?

  • you r write there was certain % was responsible NC for all. But as a student of conflict management there is question roming around why a most intellectual and well educated Bhattari joined the Maoist which was already failureall over the world.Even he has been getting threat with in his own party and he also knows very well about the cultural revolution of mao where large no of the caders were killed in the name of revolution inorder to secure and safe posn in Party.

  • Mr. Bhattarai is an another idiot that Nepal has got. His intelligence even didn't fit in the forest. He is the one who killed and helped kill thousands of innocent people and still trying to be clean. If This Idiot Bhattarai has farsightness like Late KING MAHENDRA, Nepal would not have sufferred so much in the hands of WILD DOGS. He is stil trying to extend the tenure of CA. The CA House must be turned into a PRISON and IMPRISONED all 601 Hungry Wild DOGS AND BITCHES to free Nepal and Nepalis from Slavery of the DEAD NEPALI POLITICIANS.
