What I don’t get from this message is how did the earthquake personally affect Mr Bhattarai? Did his house in Kathmandu got damaged and is unlivable? Did his livelihood get affected in Nepal? That fact may generate more sympathy. His son graduating from medical fellowship program is not going to help his cause if people compare him against those that lost everything due to earthquake in places like Sindupalchowk and will never be able to make it to the US to demand TPS.
