Politics is mostly a game of power. Common citizens can speak their mind because they are not worried about the game as long as they can facilitate the game. Politicians, being players, care more about winning the game than just playing. Who has won once tries to defend the title almost at any case, and for them to defend the title they got to be in the game. This is where public interest clashes with politicians’. If politicians are comfortable in acquiring, maintaining, and enhancing power, only then the game is for “fair” for them. Pretty soon, we will start hearing losers scream of foul play. Even if this Prachanda comes to the table other ugrachandas will rise in the hills and villages as long as the government does not introduce policies substantial enough to provide gas, bas, and kapas for the poor. This will not happen over night but the government should at least have plans to begin with. I don’t know what plans, if any, do these people who claim to be leaders have for the time to come. Yes, we already know what they want today. But, why don’t they tell us about what they have in mind for tomorrow.
