Kathmandu: Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa’s conspiratorial brain presumably works round the clock.

His latest move or for that matter the statement which he made through a NTV program Monday late evening must have brought down the blood pressure of the leaders of the five agitating parties.

Prime Minister Thapa clearly hinted that holding of the general elections could be the single solution to come out of the existing constitutional imbroglio.

” I am determined to conduct the elections come what may”, said a beaming Thapa responding to the questions posed to him by the NTV questioner.

“When a new parliament comes into existence, the constitution will automatically come to its original rails”, opined Prime Minister Thapa.

Not only this, the Prime Minister also made it amply clear that the ongoing agitation was nothing but a ploy of the agitating parties to bounce back to power. Cutting joke at the leaders’ of the agitating parties, Thapa questioned as to how the derailed constitution would come to its rails if the King made one of their leaders the nation’s prime minister using the same controversial Article 127 of the constitution?

If they are made the Prime Minister definitely the King will use the same article to which they term unconstitutional.

“Their interpretation of the use of the article 127 is faulty”, said the Prime Minister.

Similarly he also rejected the five parties’ demand that the article 127 be used for the restoration of the parliament. “If the King does so through the use of the same article of the constitution would tantamount to yet another unconstitutional blunder”, opined Thapa.

According to Thapa, the five parties were all up to encourage the King to act unconstitutionally.

All put together, Thapa’s assertion that he would not settle for less than holding of elections, does clearly hint that he will not resign from the chair which he has been occupying at the moment till the elections are over. This also means that the agitating parties will have to participate in the elections Thapa’s way.

During the course of the NTV interview, Prime Minister Thapa also tried to shield the monarch from the onslaughts of the leaders of the agitating lot.

“The King is open. This is my conclusion. He is open for talks but then some one has to approach for the audience”, so said Thapa.

This expression apparently puts to rest the wide spread rumor that the King and his Prime Minister differ on so many counts.

Analysing Thapa’s statement made in favor of the King does speak that the King and the Prime Minister share same views vis-a-vis the holding of the elections and the current agitation.

Implied is that the King could talk to the agitating leaders but would act as hinted by his Prime Minister.

On the issue of the Maoists insurgency, Thapa said that the doors for talks were open. He however, also hinted that the government would face the threats posed by the Maoists firmly.
