Why support Gagan Thapa? Is he a "good" leader? Will he make into a good Prime Minister? Some of these questions border toward the absurd. Gagan Thapa is not a candidate for Prime Minister. We should support him b/c we should support the ongoing movement for democracy. He is at the forefront of that movement, that is why we should support him. That is reason enough. And esepecially at this critical hour of his arbitrary arrest, these absurd musings actually do some harm. Get your priorities straight, folks!
