Nepal: Why investing in valueless political leadership?

Nepal: Why investing in valueless political leadership?

N.P. Upadhyaya, Kathmandu: The incumbent ailing Prime Minister of Nepal Shri Khadga Prasad Oli may have self-manufactured political reasons, intense power lust included indeed, to continue in the current post for a full five years term but yet his well-wishers would advise him to go for a voluntary retirement now.

Among the countless follies our hero PM Oli has already to his credit, here is the fresh one that has been criticized by his own party men.

It is the Video Conference of his Cabinet meet that he chaired through Skype being in Singapore Hospital.

The PM and his hangers on claim that it was a miracle worth copying by the friendly but technically backward “nonsense” countries. But which country is more nonsense than Nepal?
In fact luring the national population by reiterating irrelevant and ridiculous anecdotes is an easy task, as it has been since the advent of this “banana” republican order, but to convince and to remain in the good book of the naughty Head master of South Asia, the Indian establishment, is very difficult in that only the India blessed one can continue for long in Nepal’s Prime Ministerial post. PM Oli too is seated in the Chair because of the Indian blessing. Let’s admit this hard reality.

This Head Master prefers only smart teachers in Nepal who are its “trained” yes men like Prachanda, BR Bhattarai and ….Oli.?

However, PM’s personal relations with his own senior colleague Mr. Madhav Kumar Nepal is talked to have become brittle to the extent that “instead of wishing for PM Oli’s good health prior to his Singapore departure, Mr. Nepal reportedly at the party meet preferred to go on for a real and rancorous verbal war with his own party’s boss who is also the nation’s Prime Minister Mr. Oli.

By the way, PM Oli shall stay for some good more days in Singapore-now his home away from home.

To cut it short, Nepal and PM Oli have now become enemies.

And the dictum goes: your enemy is my enemy and thus we are “intimate” friends.

The enmity between the two is now in an advanced stage with the new directives issued by the Party meet August 26 which was chaired by the second Chair of the NCP Prachanda.

Comrade Prachanda has brought into effect several decisions that now allows him to take the party into his firm grip. And this he has accomplished in PM Oli’s absence and more so after he met with Minister Shankar with whom he met “secretly” in Baluatar much similar to how he interacted with the RAW Chief Goyal who was in Kathmandu July 20, 2019.

Chances are that all the “not the men of Oli” will side with the former NOIDA loitering Nepal Maoists leader unseat PM Oli if Prachanda is the real indoctrinated man of “one” alien country.
Prachanda’s activities have increased immediately after he met with Minister Shankar. And what he may have been advised by the Indian national is any body’s guess.

PM Oli is not in Nepal at the moment.

Prachanda’s secret meet with the RAW chief last month too could be counted here as a plus point. PM Oli’s days appear numbered. He has been “energized” by India, let’s suppose so.
To put it in simple words, if Madhav Nepal and Prachanda together with all those party men who have been not at good terms with PM Oli converge to unseat Prime Minister Oli then it could be accomplished within a minute.

But yet one question still would haunt the innocent population who have ever been cheated and defeated by their own rulers as to why the friend (or an enemy in real terms?) across the border would wish Medanta Hospital confidante to be unseated from the highest chair of the new protectorate-Nepal?

If Oli is subservient to India then why the latter unseat him?

Yes! PM Oli had troubled relations with India once.

It was the time of the 2015 Indian Economic Blockade that had been imposed on Nepal then as the domestic pressure on the PM increased then as the Chief of the Executive of the nation he inched closer to China in the North.

Thanks China understood the Nepali pains and assisted Nepal with substantial humanitarian aid and eased the “immense sufferings” that the inhumane Indian blockade caused.
However, the innocent and panicked Nepali people thought PM Oli as a strong nationalist (?) who could challenge the mighty Indian hegemon with the minimum support from the North.
The twist then followed thus.

The fact is that China had full knowledge that PM Oli is extensively close to India and that only for the time being, he will have some sympathies towards the North.

Chinese speak less but that should not mean that Beijing doesn’t understand the real “inclinations” of the men who have been told to rule Nepal after the “revolution” of the year 2005-6. Some agents who work for India also extend their secret “services” to China in Kathmandu, claim high placed sources.

So this means that the “double cross” system prevails in Kathmandu. Now it is up to the countries to find out who’s who?

Moreover, many believe that China too is not a reliable partner of Nepal. So Nepal is in between two giant Thugs?

In fact the merger of the UML with the Maoists center had been the handiwork of the RAW machinery which got exposed when the Blockade Master arrived Nepal this August 21.

Our innocent PM Oli, though outwardly he may appear as a tough person, but the fact is that Oli is a thorough gentleman who at the end of the private meet that went on two hours plus with Shankar “appealed” emotionally his Indian guest to convince his Prime Minister Modi to grace the Nepali constitution day celebrations as the Chief Guest.

Modi has yet to recognize Nepal’s constitution though. Do we need his recognition? What a joke.

Here our ailing but innocent Prime Minister committed a blunder in that the man he preferred to bring in as the Chief guest is taken world wise as New Hitler of South Asia and the people of Nepal who have suffered the pain of the last blockade (we expect more such blockades if Modi’s whims dictate him to dare to do so) simply “love to hate” him-read the Indian PM Modi.

Modestly speaking, PM Oli should resign voluntarily in that his current health conditions do not permit him to act like a youth of the sort that he was while ratifying the Mahakali Treaty in India’s favor.

Secondly, he has through his acts of omissions and commissions made several “treacherous enemies” who wish to pounce upon him should an opportune moment approach his detractors for example, Bhim Rawal, Prachanda, Bam Dev, JN Khanal, Madhav Kumar Nepal and many others who wish not to come to the front.

All these men were power brokers and worship only those who are in power but necessarily “honor” the Indian instructions, observers note with anxiety.

Thirdly, PM Oli should understand that the “national politics” has begun drifting away from his political grip. Instead the politics has gone into the hands of the men in the streets who largely were against the entire republican order to which the people in general conclude that the system now in place is merely a gift of the Indian establishment which is an established fact. The crowd that supported TV anchor Rabi Lamichaney was also against the system and the rulers. A bit was also for Rabi indeed. People thronged to ventilate their anger against the corrupt and Indo-pendent leaders.

Fourthly, PM Oli himself is taken as the most “expensive” Prime Minister for this wretched country which has the distinction of being dictated by the whims of the Indian administration more so that of the RAW intelligence agency. Within these ten months, the Nation has already paid some 2.5 billion rupees for the treatment of Nepal PM Oli, claims several posts posted in the social media. Definitely, PM Oli has become an expensive Prime Minister for Nepal. However, if PM Oli has paid the treatment bills from his personal pocket then we apologize. But chances though remain slim.

Fifthly, PM Oli’s expenses for his renal impairment in these four years have crossed perhaps billions and billions.

Fifthly, this poor nation, a nation in fact donor driven one, can’t bear this financial burden for long. It is here that PM Oli himself should feel the pulse beat of the national population if he is wise enough. But he isn’t, we have been told. He is excessively arrogant instead.

Sixthly, PM Oli has completely failed in handling the politics of the nation as was desired from a government which enjoyed two thirds majority in the parliament. The people are being taxed from the center up to the village levels and the tax payer’s money thus paid to the government is being mercilessly utilized for the personal luxury of the political animals from Kathmandu down to the hamlet level.

Seventhly, PM Oli’s personal behavior with the lay men and the intellectuals alike are puzzling in that he at times talks which are full of hatred and insult to the men who happen to differ with his private opinion. He takes his detractors as “inferior creatures”. This is unacceptable.

Eighthly, PM Oli’s high superfluous high drama of having a tele-conference with his Cabinet, August 26, does tell that he is surrounded by shady persons with money spinning bend or those who are exploiting his personality for their political and personal benefits. Cabinet meet through Skype? Even President Trump has not dared to do so as far as we understand.

The laymen love to hate the PM for his arrogance, the habit of teasing others, humiliating his opponents making filthy comments and criticizing the King who has nothing to do with the National politics as a commoner.

Ninthly, PM Oli’s extra hobnob with the junior level officials and meeting them in private is what has made the people to suspect the real political credentials of our Prime Minister.

Tenthly, that PM Oli has been encouraging corrupt behaviors just got reflected the other day when the “Independent” judiciary made a verdict in favor of the NCell which may have hit hard the national exchequer in billions and billions. Is it zero tolerance against Corruption? Ncell may have corrupted several “men”. 

Rumors say that the Judiciary too not is an independent institution now.

It would be nice if he, PM Oli, clarifies as to what he talked with these third grade Indian nationals including the RAW Chief Mr. Goyal last month. Earlier the better.

Babu Ram appears to have vowed to unseat PM Oli as the former Maoists leaders trained by the Indian establishment made a somewhat disturbing comment against the Nepali State by encouraging the Tharu community in Western Nepal just the other day.

The innocent and modest Tharu community must be awarded whatever is their due but not at the cost of others and allowing to disturb the communal harmony. It is this community which has ever been ignored by the State.  We favor the Tahrus that they be awaraded to what is their due from the State. 

Bhattarai tentatively made some disturbing speeches so claims UML leader Bhim Rawal and now Kamal Thapa too blames Bhattarai to have made unacceptable speeches.

We have based this news as per the information provided by Mr. Rawal through the social media.

Interestingly, Bhattarai has incited the Tharu community immediately after he met in private with Indian Minister Shankar. Could some connection be established? Certainly, since Bhattarai has met Shankar in private and the latter prefers Nepal to remain in an unstable situation and who else could he better trust other than a Delhi trained and RAW close man? That he is close to RAW is how the Nepali people take and believe.

The abnormal and the blockade designer from India is supposed to have asked for a revenge as against Nepal’s big no to India on Kashmir aggression. Bhattarai appears to have assured his former JNU colleague during the private meet, so the domestic population believe in Kathmandu.

“Bhattarai is inciting communal violence in Nepal”, so claims senior UML leader Mr. Bhim Rawal.

And finally, the poor people of Nepal can’t pay the Singapore Hospital bills on a regular manner. Have mercy on the Nepali people. Or if PM Oli has paid the Hospital bills from his personal pocket then that too should be made known to the people who largely think that PM Oli has proved himself to be the “most expensive” Prime Minister of Nepal.

If he has not misused the State coffer for his personal treatment that’s fine but yet if the reverse is true then we “demand” his voluntary resignation” with the immediate effect.

PM Oli must have been told by his henchmen that the crowd that came to the streets in support of the News anchor Rabi Lamichaney in Chitwan district were not only his supporters but the crowd in many more ways than one reflected the anger of the people that they have against the system to which he leads in Nepal. If he understands the message of the Chitwan crowd then it is better for him. Though Rabi has been released but on certain conditions set by the Court.

But yet what if Rabi’s supporters turn against the system nationwide and demand the Nepal Army’s martial Law or even demand the reinstatement of the now ousted King Gyanendra?
Mind it politics is the art of the possible.

Finally, the corruption that has gripped the country is simply unbelievable. Most of PM Oli’s ministers are talked to be corrupt. More over Oli’s party’s co-Chair, Prachanda, is in the target of the enraged people.

Most unfortunately, ten members of Prachanda’s own family have been drawing perks and state facilities from the national exchequer.

So he is the luckiest of all. Poor PM Oli, we have been told, has no personal family as such. We sympathize.

Perhaps a nervous looking Prachanda has guessed in advance that his days in politics were numbered and so he says now that “It is time that the Communists will be chased” by the common people. Is he afraid of the Hague Tribunal?

Certainly, looking the mood of the people nationwide, Prachanda is the next target of the people. God bless him.

Finally, PM Oli is urged to go through the ordeal of a Kidney patient Mrs. Sonu Sinal which she has expressed through an article wherein she has told of her own experiences of what mean to be a kidney patient when one is poor like her family.

She indirectly tell the Prime Minister Oli that “you have the means and the state facilities” for the treatment but for what of people like her with the same ailment?

She thus prays the Almighty to award her rest of the life to the Prime Minister who is in Singapore for his Kidney repair.

If PM Oli reads her article, he will definitely tender his resignation. Why should the Nepali population pay the Singapore hospital bills of Prime Minister Oli?

But he will not resign. The thirst for power for PM Oli has not yet quenched. But for the nation, Sher Bahadur Deuba, KP Oli, Prachanda, BR Bhattarai, KB Mahara, Madhav Nepal, JN Khanal, Ram Chandra Poudel, Mahanta Thakur and may more of the likes are being taken as national burden. They must be sacked or told to voluntary retire. These old youths must be told to quit the political circuit. Above all, Prachanda is mockingly taken as His majesty the King trained by India. That’s all.
