So who won this round? The palace. In politics, it does not matter being right in a fundamental sense. If that were so, then philosopher-kings would be ruling us, not opportunistic mortals. It's winning in the short-term to obtain enough advantage to leverage it for further gains down the road. ******* "Now you think Tulsi Giri, who's not even lived in Nepal for last how many years, with the King can finish Maoist." No, I have not made any prediction as such. All I said was: "Let's see what they are going to do", and I have given both optimistic and pessimitic scenarios. I may not like Tulsi Giri personally, but I would not underestimate his devious mind. *** "In my opinion, the Maoist can be fought by the people only. And how can that happen, the best choice is Constituent Assembly." Fine. Have your OPINION. Just don't pass them off as dead certainty yet. Still, having seen how self-styled experts have turned out to be WRONG about Nepali politics, I, not an expert, don't mind being wrong if coming events prove me wrong. oohi ashu
