Traditional political parties and their leaders exhibited emotions, reactions, anger over losing power, popular attention and being sidelined as they addressed the first great political event following the Gen Z revolution.
Their remarks during the opening ceremony of CPN UML’s 11th General Convention, on analysis by political observers, indicated their unpreparedness to change their way of transactional politics, self–centred approach and leader-focused strategy.
Speakers including senior politicos did not care to respond to the great sweeping change brought about by Gen Z revolution; they instead criticized it challenging its way of seeking change. They sounded as if the country had not experienced the Gen Z revolution some three months ago.
None cared to express a sense of responsibility for the confused and corrupted political scenario that the country was forced to pass through compelling the Gen Z youths mobilize themselves for good governance and anti-corruption. A few words spoken for youths on the occasion did not go beyond ritualistic lip service to the broad cause of youths.
A senior media person commented: the parties will not go for leadership –handover to fresh generation nor would they allow youth leaders opportunities to enter parliament.
“Their criticism of Gen Z youths’ initiative for good governance and anti-corruption and the agreement signed recently indicates their failure to understand the real time frustration of the people at the grass-root level.
