Thanks ashu dai for your kind words. DC Girl, "And IF and Ashu need not answer- since their only medication seems to be, look how bad the democrats did! " By saying this, aren't you going against what you preach here, i.e., democracy? Isn't democracy all about accepting the fact that diversity exists? Kasto prajatantra yo- "pure clas prajatantra" or "elites prajatantra" or " aprajatantrik prajatantra" ? Gajjab cha ba! Now to answer to some of your points: 1. Chakra Bastola and company were plane hijackers. 2. DB Lama, who was elected unopposed from Rasuwa as a NC candidate was thrown in Jail by the Panchayat govt. in curroptin charges. " he would have proved that he is working towards our interest by getting some work done in a positve way, for example appointing people who are knowledgeable in the field and can contribute. its almst 3 yrs..hell ya! it is a lot of time to at least have shown his interest by showing what kind of people he is appointing for his government!! " He actually vtried to do that by appointing Deepak Gyawali, Dr. Devkota, Anuradha Koirala and all after Asoj 14, but the political parties wouldn't let them work.. " and if KG trusts his own people who he thinks worship him like omnipotent god, let him come out of his lil cocoon and face the damn election! then may be we can think of an alternative to democracy!! geee.. " Dherai tatera/rishayera lekhna hundaina because it sounds plain humbug to many of us here.
