Ram Kumari Jhakri questions UML’s ongoing ‘reorganisation’ campaign

CPN-UML leader Ram Kumari Jhakri has voiced skepticism about the party's current "reorganisation" campaign, questioning its fundamental purpose and potential impact. In a Facebook post, Jhakri challenged the notion that removing a single leader, while preserving the established structure, working style, and power relations, could be considered a true reorganisation.

"If the aim is to remove one chairperson while retaining the same old structure, working style, faces and power relations, can that really be called reorganisation?" she wrote, appearing to defend party Chair KP Sharma Oli while critiquing the ongoing efforts. Jhakri also pointed to a perceived lack of discussion on internal democracy during the UML's statute convention, which preceded the Gen Z-led movement.

These statements come amidst a significant internal debate within the CPN-UML concerning leadership and organisational restructuring. The exchanges reflect a growing tension within the party, particularly among younger leaders, regarding its future direction, decision-making processes, and the principle of internal democracy. Social media responses from other young UML leaders indicate a divergence of opinions on Jhakri's stance, underscoring the ongoing internal discourse.
