एक मधेस एक प्रदेश अब काँग्रेस, एमाले र माअोवादीले पिन मािनसकेको अवस्थामा त्यो नारा मात्रकोबलमा तीन मधेसी पार्टी चुनावमा जान िमल्दैन। तर त्यो नारा प्रमुख नारा हुन्छ नै। अझ पिन तीन पहाडीपार्टीले चुनावपिछ चुितया व्यवहार गर्न सक्छन्। त्यसप्रित सावधान हुनैपर्छ। नत्र भने पोहोरको मधेसीक्रान्ितका शहीदलाई शहीद मान्ने त पोहोर पिन भनेको हो पहिरयाहरूले। फेिर अान्दोलन गर्न पर्यो त।
मधेसी अान्दोलनले प्राप्त गरेको िवजयलाई संस्थागत गर्न मधेसी अान्दोलनको नेतृत्व गर्ने तीन मधेसीपार्टीलाई िजताउनु अावश्यक भएको भनेर भन्न सक्नुपर्यो जनतालाई।
शत प्रितशत सीट तालमेल गर्ने हो र एउटै सामुिहक मेिनफेस्टोकासाथ जाने हो भने तीन मधेसी पार्टीलेतराईमा स्वीप िदने ठुलो संभावना छ। त्यो मेिनफेस्टो संिछप्त र स्पष्ट हुनुपर्छ। छ बुँदाले अान्दोलन सफलपार्यो। पाँच बुँदाले चुनावी िवजय ल्याउँछ।
# राष्ट्रपितको प्रत्यक्ष िनर्वाचन। # ७५ िजल्ला कायम। चार राज्य: कोशी, गण्डकी, कर्णाली, तराई। # उपल्लो सदनकालािग दलीय समानुपाितक िनर्वाचन, कमसेकम िलस्टमा प्रत्यके तेस्रो नाम मिहलाहुनुपर्ने गरी। # तल्लो सदनकालािग ७५ िजल्लामा multi member proportional election, यहाँ पिन मिहलालाई एकितहाईवाला कुरा लागु हुने गरी। # संसदीय चुनावमा मत ल्याए अनुसार समानुपाितक राज्यबाट नै प्रत्येक पार्टीले पैसा पाउने, अरु चन्दाउठाउन नपाउने।
िवश्वास समुहका पार्टीहरूको मास बेस छ िक छैन? त्यो समुहबाट िवश्वास नै उिछट्िट सिकएको अजीबअवस्था छ। थारु र पहाडका जनजाितलाई मधेसीलाई भन्दा गार्हो छ संगिठत हुन। त्यसैले िवश्वास समुहगार्होमा परेको कुरामा तीन मधेसी पार्टी खुश हुने होइन िक उनीहरूलाई फेिर गोलबन्द गर्न सहयोग गर्नुपर्छ।
तर त्यो गोलबन्द भनेको बुँदागत हुन्छ। यी मािथका पाँच बुँदामा तीनलाई ल्याउन सक्नुपर्छ। चािहएकोजातीय राज्य होइन, उपल्लो सदनकालािग दलीय समानुपाितक िनर्वाचन हो भनेर भन्न सक्नुपर्छ। तर समय कम छ। चुनाव लड्नु छ।
तेस्रो तिरका: काँग्रेस, एमाले माअोवादीलाई एक हुन निदनु
सामािजक न्यायको कुरामा माअोवादी अरू दुई पार्टीभन्दा प्रगितशील छ, तर माअोवादीले बहुदल मानेको हो िक नमानेको हो, त्यस कुरामा अझै पिन प्रचण्डका िववादास्पद वक्तव्यहरू अाइरहेका छन्। नया जनजाित, दिलतर अन्य मधेसी पार्टीसँग मास बेस नभएको देिखएमा यी तीन ठुला पार्टीहरूसँग नै िबजनेस गर्न पर्ने हुन्छ।
लक्ष्य यो हुनुपर्यो िक काँग्रेस, एमाले र माअोवादीभन्दा मधेसी मोर्चाले बढी सीट िजत्नुपर्यो। ती तीन पार्टीले पहाडमा पिन मारकाट गर्छन्, तराईमा पिन। तर तीन मधेसी पार्टीले तराईमा शत प्रितशत तालमेल गर्ने हो भने ती तीन पार्टीभन्दा बढी सीट ल्याउने ग्यारण्टी छ। चुनाव अगािड मात्र होइन, चुनावपिछ पिन एक िढक्का हुनुपर्छ। हामी तीन पार्टी भए पिन एक िढक्का भएर चुनाव लडेका हौं, त्यसैले हामी एक पार्टी जस्तै हौं भनेर भन्न सक्नुपर्छ।
मधेसी मोर्चाले एक्लै बहुमत नल्याउन सक्छ, तर सबैभन्दा बढी सीट िजते बापत तीन ठुला पार्टी मध्ये एक वा दुईको सहयोग िलएर सरकार बनाउन सक्छ। त्यित बेला कुन चािहंलाई माइनस गर्न पर्ने हो त्यो अिहले नै थाहा हुने कुरा होइन।
बहुदल मानेसम्म माअोवादी अछुत पार्टी भने होइन। माअोवादीसँग िमलेर पिन सरकार बनाउन सिकन्छ। पाँचौं बुँदा भनेको मैले िवशेष रूपले माअोवादीकालािग नै लेखेको हो।
माअोवादीको सरकार?
एमाले, काँग्रेस र मधेसी मोर्चाभन्दा बढी सीट माअोवादीले िजतेमा उसले सरकारको नेतृत्वको दावी गर्न सक्छ। तर त्यित बेला मधेसी मोर्चा, एमाले, र काँग्रेस एक भइिदन सक्छन्। तर त्यसको अर्को पाटा छ। ंमधेसी मोर्चाले सबैभन्दा बढी सीट िजतेको तर एक्लै बहुमत नल्याएको खण्डमा तीन ठुला पार्टी एक भइिदन सक्छन्। त्यो अवस्था नअाउन िदने तिरका हो पाँच बुँदे मेिनफेस्टो।
सर्वदलीय सरकार?
त्यो पिन एउटा उपाय हो।
तीन मिहनामा नया संिवधान?
यी पाँच बुँदामा मधेसी मोर्चा र तीन ठुला पार्टी एक हुने हो भने देशको नया संिवधान लेख्न तीन मिहनाभन्दा बढी लाग्दैन। त्यो भएमा देशमा पिहले राष्ट्रपितको िनर्वाचन हुन्छ। त्यसपिछ देशमा नया संसदको िनर्वाचन हुन्छ। अिन पाँच राज्यका गव्रनर र एक च्याम्बर संसदको िनर्वाचन। त्यसपिछ स्थानीय िनर्वाचन हुन्छ गाउँ र शहर स्तरमा। राष्ट्रपित र नया संसदको िनर्वाचन एकैसाथ हुन सक्छ। त्यो भयो पिहलो। त्यसपिछ राज्य स्तरको िनर्वाचन। त्यो भयो दोस्रो। त्यसपिछ स्थानीय िनर्वाचन। त्यो तेस्रो।
दशैं ताका पिहलो। अर्को अप्िरलमा दोस्रो। अिन अर्को दशैंमा तेस्रो।
पाँच बुँदा
तर त्यसकालािग मधेसी मोर्चा र तीन ठुला पार्टी पाँच बुँदामा सहमत हुनुपर्यो।

एक मधेस एक प्रदेशको नारामा Compromise
तराईका सबै िजल्ला िमलाएर एउटा राज्य बनाउने, तर त्यस राज्यको नाम मधेस नराख्ने, तराई राख्ने। त्यो िकिसमको compromise हुन सक्छ। मधेस भन्नाले मधेसी समुदाय बुझाउँछ। तर त्यो राज्य मात्र मधेसी समुदायको हुने छैन। त्यो राज्य सारा नेपालको हुनेछ। संसारको प्रत्येक ethnic group को बसोबास न्यु यर्कमा छ। त्यस्तै नेपालको प्रत्येक ethnic group को बसोबास तराईमा छ, र हुनुपर्ने त्यही हो। तराईमा अाधा जनसंख्या त गैर मधेसीको छ। तराई राज्यको स्थापना गरेर पहिरयाहरूलाई के को डर भो?
