Kathmandu: Nepali Congress General Secretary Bishwaprakash Sharma has presented a hard-hitting organizational report, sharply reviewing the country’s recent political, economic and social situation, at the closing session of the party’s second special general convention.

Political Instability a ‘Shameful Record’
Presenting the report at the closing session held at Bhrikutimandap on Monday, Sharma described the formation of 30 governments in the last 34 years as a failure of leadership, extreme instability and a shameful statistic. He said that while people initially place hope in every new government, continuous instability has ultimately driven the nation toward despair.

Weak Economy, Rising Public Frustration
Sharma highlighted the country’s weak economic growth, noting that even employed youths are struggling to survive due to soaring market prices. He said growing corruption scandals have fueled public anger, while the absence of good governance has overshadowed past achievements.

According to the report, development has failed to gain momentum mainly due to policy instability and the tendency to allocate budgets based on political interests rather than national priorities.

Federalism Poorly Implemented
On federalism, Sharma said delays in transferring authority to provincial governments have created a false narrative that chief ministers are dissatisfied with Singha Durbar while citizens are content. He stressed that the state cannot be praised when farmers do not receive fertilizers on time, sugarcane farmers are forced to come to Kathmandu for payments, and workers have to agitate for minimum wages.

Politicization and ‘Our People’ Culture Criticized
The report acknowledged excessive politicization across sectors and the culture of favoring “one’s own people” as serious mistakes. Sharma said even the appointment of ambassadors based on factional divisions has damaged Nepal’s international image and raised serious legal and ethical questions.

Growing Discontent in Social Sectors
Sharma also pointed to rising agitation in key sectors. He termed the ineffectiveness of the health insurance program as deeply troubling and noted widespread dissatisfaction among teachers and school staff due to the prolonged failure to pass the education bill.

Concluding the report, Sharma emphasized that unless these structural and leadership weaknesses are addressed, public trust in the political system will continue to erode.
