My guess: 1. Declaration of election: The Iraq factor might be at work. If they can hold election in Iraq why not in Nepal? Election could also be a handy stick to beat Maoist and tame political parties. And as bonus, most, if not all, Raj Parishad walla haru will be elected. Then who dares to ridicule them as Shahi Jokers ! The Maoist possible misadventure in the form of increased violence might only help government to isolate Maoists nationally and internationally. Then who cares the body count of GARIB Nepali? 2. Sacking of Deuba: Only problem is designing a new political lexicon to label him. But there is also possibility of keeping Deuba as new role such as senior minister in the cabinet to be headed by King G. I hope I am wrong. Nispaksha ------------------------------------
