Life without electricity

It is hard to imagine life without electricity specially in a country which is supposed to be the second richest in the world when it comes to water resource. Nepal should be like any other metropolitan city in the world with glittering lights everywhere, every street and corner should be lit up and every household should have power at a low cost with the rich recourse it has. Instead, the people are suffering with the ongoing load shedding of almost fourteen to sixteen hours a day. The normal life must have been drastically affected by the ongoing load shedding. Ordinary people have to make plans according to the schedule of the electricity. You want to study but you cannot because there is no light, your computer never works when you want it to, your refrigerated goods get rotten, in the kitchen rice cooker is just a show pot and your TV is just another useless tool. The power cuts in Nepal are not good for its growth and economy as well. Lower productivity means higher costs for finished goods and people will feel that in their pockets when they visit the market. Why isn’t this issue getting sorted out? It is a sensitive issue and is directly effecting the lives of the people. Nepalese businesses, enterprises, communications, industries, education and service sectors have been so much hit that overall capacity utilization of the industrial units due to load shedding has come down to about 40-50 per cent. It has already handicapped the economy and will further cripple it which is not a good sign for a nation that is trying hard to emerge out from the hard hitting cyclone of poverty.

trying to cover up failure

Finance Minister and senior Maoist leader Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has been heard saying, “Gyanendra Shah (former King) is still conspiring. The UML and Nepali Congress should understand this reality,” These politicians just to save their own necks are from time to time playing the dirty game of mixing religion (Pashupatinath issue) into politics and now are blaming the King of conspiring against them. If King Gyanendra had such intentions, he would not have moved out of the palace in the first place and would have easily retaliated from the palace as a king. These thugs to cover their own failure are blaming the king who gave way to these unpatriotic elements to prove themselves. They should be more than grateful to the king instead of dragging him and his name to their dirty politics. So all you leaders, work on the basic needs of the people which is providing them the much required security first, put all those involved in criminal activities behind bars, return all the property that you have illegally captured to the rightful owners, work on producing more electricity so the people get relief from the life in darkness and stop fighting like cats and dogs over personal issues. If you can do that, then the public may consider trusting you or even giving you a second chance or else you will soon be history and you will be replaced by the people themselves. Finally, stop blaming the King for your failure, you have been given a chance and you are solely responsible for blowing it up

The Prime Minister says his understanding in the murder case of reporter Uma Singh is different than what is publicized in the media but does not talk about the facts or what his understanding is but only tries to confuse the public and get away with a childish response, but he does admit it could be someone from some party involved in this inhuman act. He says protest against the crimes but does not say that his government will prioritize this case and immediately crack down the murderers and bring them to justice. Him being unable to assure the public of such strong action is deep inside him he does have the fear that it could be his party men involved, which they have been in various serious crimes and the Maoists have been unable to take any action against those criminals. So, Mr. Prime Minister, get beyond and above your party boundaries and start working for the people and the nation or else you were you are and will always be what you have been labeled as.

Security, a joke in Nepal

Baban Singh, who likes to call himself Sir John, a notorious criminal himself has identified the Maoist lawmaker Jagat Yadav, behind the murder of journalist Uma Singh and has said that it is the responsibility of the state to book the criminals and take action against them. The amazing factor here is that we have law makers not only with criminal backgrounds but are also active criminals. They have been identified, their crimes have been open to all but still no action of any kind has been taken against these criminals and they roam freely as ever. Is being a politician in Nepal a license to commit crimes? If no, why are these criminals roaming freely and why are they not behind bars? Is the law enforcement agency in Nepal incapable or have they been ordered by the government not to take any action against the political criminals? Well it is a known truth that the security issues in Nepal has become a big joke. The law enforcement personals fear the criminals cause they have political backup and these terrorists commit crimes like it is a day to day job without any fear. The criminals confront the law enforcement officials and walk away with their weapons, they commit crimes in broad daylight with such ease, like it’s a piece of cake for them and this is only possible cause these criminals have political backup from the government. If the government wanted to stop all of this, they would have issued stern orders to the law enforcement to crack down these criminals and nail them which would have not only reduced the crimes but would have these criminals brought to justice and eradicated these inhuman activities. The current Maoist led government has been a complete failure to provide public security, they are incapable of protecting the citizens as criminals too.

another achievement of the incapable government

Kathmandu is filled with filth and trash. The rotting trash with the disturbing bad smell is suffocating the people and the common lives have become miserable. Soon, some epic disease will hit the city causing even more devastating consequences. Who is to blame for all this havoc? Of course the government led by the Maoists. Even after coming to power and leading the government, their terror related activities have not stopped and the public life has always been disturbed somehow or the other. Maoist terror wing the YCL beats up people ruthlessly and seeking justice, asking the authority to take action against the criminals, the victims have to go to the extend of calling transportation strike with the hope the government would address their issue. The government just ignores all of this, which leads to the waste management being unable to do their job of collecting and dumping the trash. It is not the waste management to be blamed for the chaos caused. Indeed, it is the Maoist led government that is at fault and they are responsible cause they have been incapable of providing adequate security to the general public and this garbage problem is just a consequence of the same.

instead of rewarding, punish the criminals

Minister for Information and Communications Krishna Bahadur Mahara has said the government would take stern action against the murderers of journalist Uma Singh. Similarly, Prachanda also earlier assured the family of late businessman Mr. Shrestha that his murderers would be punished. What happened? Instead of punishing the criminal he was rewarded. Kali Bahadur Kham ‘Bibidh’, an absconding Maoist accused of the murder of a businessman of Koteshwor Ramhari Shrestha, has been made a member of the central committee of the Unified CPN-Maoist. A murderer who should be spending time behind bars has been promoted as a central committee member and the Maoists have added yet another offender in their gang of criminals. Pushpa Kamal Dahal from the Prime Minister’s seat had admitted that Bibidh was involved in the murder and at that point had expelled Bibidh as division commander of the People’s Liberation Army. Bibidh is the main accused in the murder of businessman Shrestha. The bereaved family had also filed a first information report against him at the district police office, Chitwan. If you guys want to punish the wrongdoers and actually mean it, then in that case majority of your leaders will end up in jail cause your’s is a gang of criminals who have committed crimes of all magnitude. Liars, like you guys are, will never punish the criminals, instead they will be rewarded by promoting them as central leaders So please stop fooling the public and giving them false assurance. Criminals are and will always remain criminals and they have to be punished.

Nepal, from small to smaller

Various groups representing the Newa: Community demanding separate State for the Newars have submitted a memorandum to the Constitution Drafting Committee on Friday, January 16, 2009. It was earlier also reported that the Newa Community of Kathmandu Valley had formed an army of ten thousand youths. Prachanda and his gang planted the seed by promising everyone, everything they demanded just for the sake of gathering support to form and lead the government without even thinking what the consequences that could come or realizing which direction they were pushing the country towards. Today there is a demand and struggle within the country for Madesh, Newa, Tharu, Thakali, Kirati and so on and so forth to devide Nepal into pieces. This has all been created by the Maoists. Ask for and if you do not get by asking form an army and start fighting was the lesson taught by these terrorists and these communal activists are following the footsteps of the Maoists which is the destructive one. These communities before anything have to learn to live as Nepali. First it is Nepal, then it is Nepali and everyone has to understand that or else Nepal will be long gone and the credits go to the “nalayak” politicians of Nepal.

The con artist in Nepali Politics

The head of the Constitution Drafting Committee and the ex-general secretary of the Nepal Communist Party-United Marxist Leninists, Mr. Madhav Kumar Nepal has expressed his desire to fight for the post of the Party president again. No hesitations in saying that Madhav Kumar Nepal is the biggest con artist, a fraud, an opportunist and a parasite existing in the political stream of Nepal. After being defeated in the direct election to the Constituent Assembly last year April from the district of Rautahat and Kathmandu had tendered his resignation on moral grounds as the party general secretary immediately after facing humiliating defeat. He had publicly declared after the CA election defeats that he will not occupy any public posts as he was twice rejected by the people. Nepal prior to being elected as a CA member had been airing negative remarks as regards drafting the constitution on time. He always opposed the Maoist’s led government and criticized his own party members for supporting the Maoists and at times made remarks and demands that his party should quit the Maoist led government. He even said, at various occasions that the Maoists were failures and the constitution would not be drafted on time. Now he is praising the Maoists and Prachanda and is changing his statements cause he has been offered a position in the CA by the Maoists. Isn’t this a double standard and a flip-flop portrayed and displayed by Madhav Kumar Nepal. The same guy who expressed negativity and criticized others for not doing the job is saying the job will be done now because he has joined the circus of clowns despite the fact he was rejected by the people and the reason behind the change in his statement is that he is now appointed as the head of the Constitution Drafting Committee. What a low standard fraud politician who says that something is black and goes back to again saying it is white for a chair. No principals, philosophy or intellect thought instead the Madhav Kumar guy is only full of greed. How can the public trust this guy on building and drafting the constitution when he himself has displayed multiple counts of dishonest character and the public had already rejected him on the same issue before.

Nepal needs, yet another Prithvi Narayan Shah

There was news about Prachanda running around busy meeting leaders of various parties. Weekly Nepal published news about the rebel Prime Minister holding talks with Congress leader Girija Prasad Koirala initiated and conducted by Krishna Prasad Sitaula. Nepal news had an article about the PM meeting the chief of Terai Madhes Loktantric Party (TMLP) Mahanta Thakur and he is also having talks with the MJF leaders. Leaders do meet, discuss and hold talks at various times regarding various issues of the country and on how to address those issues. The uncommon factor about all these meetings the PM is holding with these leaders of different parties is not about the nation nor issues concerning the country. It is only to save his Prime Ministers seat.

As per weekly Nepal during the meeting with Girija Prasad Koirala, Prachanda expressed his feelings about how saddened he was with the distance his party has with Congress and also expressed his willingness to work alongside with them. Koirala also took the opportunity to give his rival some advice on Army issues and Pashupatinath issue by saying, “do not mix politics with religion and do not interfere with the army’s recruit proceedings.” Then Prachanda asked for some private time with Girija and the other leaders present in the meeting had to leave. During the private meeting, it is said that Prachanda expressed regrets on the nomination of the President and said if Girija still wants to be the President he would fully help and support. In return Prachanda wants Girija and his party to support him and his Government and not do anything to bring it down. As per Nepal news during the meeting with TMLP leader, Prachanda requested Mahanta Thakur to reconsider withdrawing support for his Government and in return he would fulfill all the demands made by TMLP. He has also promised the MJF that their demands will be met if they continue to support him and his failed Government. In reality all of these meetings were only about saving his chair and position. What have been the major accomplishments of the Government so far? All of Prachanda’s family members including family members of other Maoist leaders securing jobs and political appointments. Corruption, destruction of state property, transportation strikes, business strikes, attacks on media houses and reporters, foreign trips, conference, conventions, cocktail dinners, inaugurations, sixteen hours of load shading a day and blaming others for the government’s failures. The terrorist turned Prime Minister, Prachanda, before the CA elections and soon after the elections was saying that he was different from all other leaders and would work in the best interest of the nation but soon after he took up office of the Prime Minister he was caught up with the same political syndrome that all politicians have always suffered. He soon got into working for the benefit of his family and himself. What else could be expected from a false leader like him, who even forget the sacrifice and suffering of his own fellow men and women, leaving them behind and embracing his family members. Now after having witnessed and felt the charm of being the Prime Minister and exercised the powers Prachanda does not want to loose it and will pay any price to maintain and save it. That’s the only reason behind as to why he is meeting with leaders of various different parties and begging them to support his government rather than working for the people and obtaining their confidence. Now, what doses all of these activities of the politicians signify? The leaders show differences in ideology and beliefs, operate with different names and always point fingers at each other publicly, but they all have one common agenda and that to destroy the nation and work against the people to keep them divided in fractions, to enable themselves the traitors to always rule the way they are ruling. These traitors are all raping mother Nepal and taking turns but we the so called brave sons are just watching and letting them do so and this is not a shame on them cause they intend to do so but it is a shame on us for doing nothing to stop these unpatriotic acts. If the Nepalese people sit quietly, only being spectators to what is happening in the country currently then it will not be too long before we become slaves to the system that is being enforced on us by these agents, who call themselves Nepali but in reality are working against the interest of Nepal and the Nepalese people. At a time like this when the leaders have turned out to be losers and the country’s integrity and sovereignty is at stake what the country needs is a true leader who would put the nation and the people before anything, even before themselves or their family members. A leader with a vision, wisdom and honesty with the intentions to serve the country and just the country with no personal greed and interest. Since that is something very difficult to be found among the existing leaders, mother Nepal has to give birth to yet another Prithvi Narayan Shah to lead and unite the country.

Unite and the unpatriotic cowards will fall

Pashupatinath temple, one of the most holy shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and a very sacred pilgrim among Hindu’s all over the world was currently under attack by the atheists in Nepal. They were heads over heel to change the religious and cultural practice that had been ongoing for hundreds of years. The defiance started by appointing local Brahmins as the head priests and also going against the order of the Supreme Court in the same regard. Recently, the incapable Prime Minister, Prachanda has been heard saying that they will abide by the order of the Supreme Court. The reality is that Prachanda along with his battalion of bandits were shaken by the overwhelming united voice of the people and opted not to stupidly go against it. The lesson to be learned here by the Nepalese people is that these unpatriotic cowards, who are on the path of destroying the nation are scared of the people if united and can be stopped if united. So, if you love your country and want to save it from being broken into pieces in the name of politics by these so called leaders, UNITE and have one VOICE. Do not fall for their false promises and do not buy their dreams. Just voice for one nation NEPAL and one nationality NEPALI.

Save the Army's pride

The political leaders of Nepal have no ethics, no principals or self respect of any kind and their prime intention is to make a better living for themselves and their family members and close followers. They do not love the nation and they do not care about where the nation is headed towards. They are all power and money hungry and will do anything within their reach and limitations and will also go beyond to serve their own purpose. At such a time where the country is facing multiple challenges with the lack of leadership, the patriotic stance taken by the Chief of Army Staff Rookmangad Katawal is highly appreciative. At least the chief had the guts to say that the institution that he heads is non political and that he will always safeguard the nation and will protect the nation against all enemies foreign or domestic.

Mr. Badal, Nepal Army is not PLA

The defense Minister is having issues and problems with the Chief of Army cause he is not being able to recruit his terror packed rebellion comrades in the Nepal Army. He has been heard saying that if the Chief of Army does not cooperate with them (the terrorists), they would sack him and they are also in the process of making new rules and regulations for the army. Mr. Badal thinks he is smart but he has himself portrayed his stupidity by expressing his feeling to sack the Chief. The Chief of Army’s appointment is not a political one and is not in the hands of these thugs and the difference between the Army and these politicians is that one is defending the country and the other is destroying it and by all means the people of Nepal are with the one defending the country and the people.

State property needs to be safeguarded

It is not uncommon to find the property belonging to the state in museums all over the world and there are rumors that the Royal Crown is already out of the country and the one that is in Nepal is just a replica. If the rumor turns out to be true then the Maoists have severe problems coming their way. The demand to make the Crown public has to be made and verifications has to be made to ensure the property of the state is safeguarded or else one day Nepal will be left like an empty shell with all the belongings gone and the current care takers are not trustworthy of anything.

is 2009 the year of the King in politics

Recently, there was a very articulated posting on Telegraph Nepal with detailed analysis on the current political situation of Nepal. More importantly there were comments posted by individuals from different dimensions and with multiple views and thoughts but one common factor among all the differences were that most of them see the need for the come back of the Monarchy which was and is the oldest institution of Nepal passed on for fourteen generations which lasted almost two hundred and forty years. In such a long span of time, to be honest, there must definitely have been a lot of flaws and mistakes made, crimes committed, but for sure the country had never had to go through what it is facing today. Don’t have to go too far into history, King Birendra, a noble king, who always believed in the welfare of his countrymen and wanted to be connected to his people was behind his back portrayed differently by the group of opportunists who were appointed to maintain the connection bridge between the king and his subject. The king was always provided with false information and these pundits stood between the two as barriers creating a vacuum and keeping the king from connecting with his countrymen which he always wanted to. Why was this being done?? The answer is these lobbyist already had a grand master plan to make the king unpopular but the reason as to why still remains unsolved. Despite such intentions against the late King, he was still very liked and popular in the country as well as internationally. King Gyanendra was involved in the country’s politics from an early age of three when he was put on the thrown as the king for the first time, though recently admitted, it was unwillingly. Ever since he has lived in the country heading various organizations of political nature, when once again fate put him back on the thrown after the saddened death of his brother and nephew. At the time when he inherited the thrown for the second time, the political parties had been unsuccessful because of the high level of corruption and the Maoists were already well established as terrorists thus making it difficult for the King to give proper assurance to the countrymen and his crowning was a sudden change that came his way after a tragedy where he did not even get the time and privilege to mourn over the death of his own family members. The challenges were high and the situation of the country was not favorable where political instability was a major problem and a terrorist organization had just begun a war within the nation. At such a time, most of the administrative works were to be done in a haste and unfortunately the ones working around the king to assist him were not the best people. However, amongst such time and situation, law and order was still being maintained and all levels of the bodies of the government were functional until the traitors who were willing to sell their motherland joined hands with the terrorists and turned against the king. Some went to the extent of betraying their motherland with the greed of becoming the first President, some for money, some for political benefits, some for false promises and some were dumb enough not to have a conscience of their own and were manipulated. At the time when they signed the seven party agreement to betray their motherland, every single one of them present there was thinking about themselves and not one, once thought about the country or the countrymen. The only person who thought for the country and the countrymen was King Gyanendra who voluntarily stepped down, preventing the country from bloodshed and destruction. Every time these political parties have made a decision in the country it has been solely for their own benefit and interest, however each time they say for the people. Who are these people they refer to? Their family members and followers. What about the rest of the people and those who disagree with them. Any decision made regardless of which party makes, it has to always be in the national interest and not that of individuals. Nepal was declared Federal Democratic Republic by approximately six hundred of the most corrupt individuals ever to be found on the face of the planet and with most of then with criminal charges and background. The same bunch of unpatriotic traitors are now in the process of merging terrorists in the prestigious Nepal Army and again declaring the nation as Peoples Republic. Similarly, the same process was followed to abolish the Monarchy, where these unethical spineless thugs gathered together and orphaned the nation which has now enabled them to do whatever they want without anyone to question or even stop them. The Monarchy was not removed by the people nor that was what they wanted which clearly reflects on various polls conducted and the overwhelming response from the Nepalese people on various articles posted on almost all media publications . Even today, the institution of Monarchy lives in the heart of the people and if a fair polling is to be conducted and the 25 million Nepalese people vote you know what the outcome would be. After terrorizing the nation for over a decade, the peoples voice has been silenced, they were put under tremendous fear that they opted to just keep quite and bear the consequences but for how long??

Hold a national polling and make arrangements for all Nepalese to vote freely without any fear pressure or threat and the actual fact about what the people want will prevail.

terror in the name of "army"

PLA, the Maoist terror package, after terrorizing the nation for over a decade is still in existence and operation. Following them, we saw Medeshi Liberation Army three to four different fractions and recently the new born, Tharu Liberation Army lead by commander in chief Laxman Tharu. As a matter of fact, though they call themselves the army, in reality it is a terrorist organization because they function against the nation and the people. They say they are fighting for a cause but the reason and understanding behind their cause is to simply segregate the nation in fractions where these traitors would be the leaders and heads of any such fraction. So the bottom line is, they are only thinking for their personal benefits and if they ever had feelings for the nation, they would think and join hands and participate in constructive activities to build the nation instead of terrorizing, and working on breaking it.

Madhesi leader threatens "Nepal split"

The President of the Tarai Madhesh Loktantrik Party (TMLP) Mr. Mahanta Thakur has threatened that if the demand for One Madhesh One Province is not met with, Nepal will see a vertical split. This Thakur guy should learn to be a Nepali first, before anything. This is the same guy who revolved around Koirala, wagging his tail, in the hope of bagging a ministry and was heard saying, all Nepalese should be united to construct and build the Nation. If you do not want Nepal as a whole and are looking for something else or even think of splitting the nation, then you are a traitor and you are not welcome in Nepal. Pack your bags and leave before you get kicked out.

Nepali Rajniti wishes all its readers and well wishers a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2009.
