"visionary leader?" Wow, I had heard it quite often when I was there in KU. Everybody there in KU claims that Suresh Raj Sharma is visionary. Later on when I checked the credentials of those people using such ingratiating words, I came to know that they were either deans, or hods or someone vying for professorships. Perhaps this was coined by one professor of KUSOM who managed to get professorship even without Ph.D. . So, I think that this little bit answer about the "visionary leadership" of Suresh Raj Sharma. Had he stuck to his original plan that he used to talk about around 1995s, I think he would have been an undisputed visionary leader. But, instead of considering all the teachers as his own children and giving guardianships to every son and daughter of Nepal, he preferred to close to himself within his family, his clan and his sychophants. Now, after getting his own not so bright daughter earn all the degrees in KU itself by exerting every conceivable influence, he has managed to bring her in KU to boss around those teachers who taught her. Very nice vision! Let us just compare with Girija, I think Girija, irrespective of his numerous failings, has never promoted his daughter Sujata in such wanton manner. There are instances when Girija denied election tickets to Sujata also. We would have accepted Suresh Raj Sharma as a visionary leader only if he had not done these things.
