Chief Minister Karki takes oath of workplace
Maoist Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal sworn-in as the new Prime Minister
While taking the oath of office and secrecy on the previous 2 occasions, in 2008 and 2016, Dahal had studiedly prevented using Daura Suruwal, which Maoists thought about the dress of the political elite against who they had actually waged a 10-year insurgency.
Dahal had actually picked to use shirt, pants, and coat on those 2 occasions and he would put on fit and tie at official occasions or when conference leaders from other nations.
This modification of clothes has actually caused speculation that Dahals political ideology has also evolved.Maoists had actually battled against the principle of one caste, one war, and one nation and they were dead versus Daura Suruwal as the nationwide gown.
Dahals comrade in arms and his one-time deputy, Baburam Bhattarai, altered that when he became the prime minister.
In 2011, the federal government led by Bhattarai got rid of Daura Suruwal and Gunyo Choli as the nationwide dress.In an interview to BBC two years earlier, Dahal had said that he often used a suit, tie, and a cap made from cotton to reconcile nationalism and internationalism.
Communists are internationalists.
Throughout the Mao-era, Chinese Communist Party leaders and employees used to use coats, now they use fits and ties, he had actually told BBC.When asked in the Parliament today why he was wearing Daura Suruwal, Dahal stated, If sentiments of the common individuals can not be dealt with after joining politics of serene competition, I do not believe presentation of revolutionism can bring great election result.
Those who wear it (Daura Suruwal) have actually won, and those who do not have lost, he added.He said President Bidhya Devi Bhandari told him that she wish to see the next PM taking the oath in a Daura Surwal.
Dahal stated he used it on popular demand after UML Chair KP Sharma Oli, RSP Chair Rabi Lamichhane, and senior CPN-MC leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha requested him to do so.
However independent legislator Amresh Singh put it more succinctly: Once CK Lal (a political writer) said the day Dahal wears Daura Suruwal, the transformation started by him will end.
The day Dahal uses Daura Suruwal, the transformation begun by him will end A version of this article appears in the print on January 11, 2023, of The Himalayan Times
