Kathmandu, NP Upadhyaya: The deteriorating state of Nepali politics becomes clear from the fact that the Prime Minister of a funny republic recently had to issue a statement assuring national population that he was very much alive and kicking. He issued the statement right from his Hospital bed.

This is the political change wherein the head of a majority government had to issue statement that he was alive.

And the social media is filled with funny comments on Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli’s health conditions.

Add to this, a Maoists’ veteran of Nepal’s “dangerous and alien dictated past” laments that the absence of monarchy has hit Nepali politics pretty hard. Delayed realization indeed.

The Maoist leader Ram Karki alias Surendra Kumar Karki made this remark only recently. Such a statement is not expected from a person who together with the sponsored group had vowed to change the national politics and economy through a so called revolt. The India sponsored revolt, the Nepali revolutionaries had hoped, would turn the old oppressed Nepal into an entirely new prosperous Republic.

The revolution in effect was driven from New Delhi by the likes of Shyam Saran, Sita Ram Yechury and SD Muni, who still have now reasons to smiles because their objective to see Nepal remain in the vicious cycle of instability continues unabated.

Interestingly the same Yechury is learnt to have landed Kathmandu recently and he was accorded a Maharajah welcome by his Nepali subjects. It is leant from sources that Yechuri had landed Kathmandu to seek election funds for the upcoming Indian polls which is taking place in 2019.

Yechuri deserves cash rewards from Nepal because he had helped Nepalis establish the grand Republican order. It is altogether a matter of another discussion that the sponsored revolution only catapulted the fate of jungle based Maoists’ Communists.

They have become millionaires.

Back to Ram Karki, wise men have said that “delayed realization” too is not that bad than not to sense the gravity of the political ejaculation that has already become the hallmark of the Nepali politics.

Karki, who have had the distinction of being denied by India as Nepal’s Ambassador in the good old days of Shyam Saran as its foreign secretary has with a very heavy heart spoken something on politics that may be of some interest to our valued readers here and there.

Understandably, Karki who also claims to be an expert of International relations is not happy with the Indian establishment and in the last general election he had defeated Nepali Congress’ popular leader Bishwa Prakash Sharma from Eastern Nepal.

Karki was a Maoists leader who was very loyal to Prachanda and Baburam Ram Bhattarai in the people’s war days says “since the UML and the Maoists center both were weaker than what had been taken for granted and thus the two weaker parties were forced to unite at time of the parliamentary polls and the party thus got swelled”.

In effect, Karki wants to emphasize that it has already begun a necessity for both the parties to unite or face grave consequences speaking on political terms.

Let’s accept this theory for the unification but has the party united in effect?

Perhaps not. Prachanda is likely to ditch the UML any time soon.

Karki adds “when we have had presence of the Royal Institution and a strong institution of Army then the parties though working in an individual fashion but some sort of fear factor made us all to work in a united manner to thwart the two internal powers.

With Monarchy overthrown, institution of Army too has turned itself into a construction company, which is what the India design was.

However, Karki hastens to add “since the two powers are no longer in sight, thus the parties have become almost so distant and thus there have been the emergence of “several small Kings” across the length and breadth of the country.

Karki made these observations while talking to NEPAL PANA online edition on 25 October, 2019.

“Since there are many Kings now, no one cares the other which is what has been weakening the new change and the parties that tentatively acted for this change.”

Now the question could be asked as to what factors may have forced Karki, the influential leader of the past, to speak on somewhat frustrating lines. Definitely Mr. Karki appears a harassed man now.

Should this mean that Karki too has come to his senses that the people’s war which he himself fought, perhaps residing in New Delhi, had not been in effect fought on behalf of the people as had been given to understand then?

Or is it that Karki has been denied plum posts in the new seat up as per his desires or demands? This is a common disease in Nepal to which Karki could not be an exception.

Whatever may have been the case with his frustration, one thing is for sure is that Karki is not that happy with what has been happening of late in Nepali politics.

But he should understand that the cause for his utter depression are not the common men but, frankly speaking, his own former leaders with whom he may have killed several Nepali nationals during the so called people’s war.

Will he recall his own dangerous past?

Should this also mean that the number of frustrated men in the former Maoists camp is growing every day?

Similarly, the former Maoists leader Baburam Bhattarai now claims that the nation now needs an advanced revolution. What he means by this is not known but those who understand him better claim that the idea of this “advanced revolution” must have again come from India. Baburam and his entire family members reportedly are very close to the Indian regime.

This means that yet another political blizzard is being planned for Nepal. Tighten your belts please.
