Musical chairs-style politics has increased public disillusionment, says Gagan Thapa

KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa has said the “musical chairs” style of politics, in which the same faces repeatedly occupy positions of power and leadership, has intensified public dissatisfaction and contributed to the situation that emerged on September 8 and 9.

Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Nepali Congress’ 15th General Convention, Thapa said the repeated presence of the same people as prime ministers, ministers and party leaders had created a perception in society that all political parties and leaders were the same and equally bad.
