Good point by Bikash Thapa against Mahat's inconsistent and short-sighted policy, but I doubt if all the statistics Thapa presented here is true and the motivation of the article is in good faith. तेल आपूर्ति गर्न आयल निगमलाई वर्षको ५ अर्ब रुपैयाँ अनुदान + मासिक २५ करोड रुपैयाँ घाटा >> seems a lot of extra cost there in petroleum, but they are the expense of government for immediate public needs. Piping this amount to Hydropower will benefit people but only after several years. Due to poor stability of political scenario, none of the political leaders want to think about long-term solution. For them pain-killing medicines are enough than the proper treatment. One more point, this kind of article appears only when the petroleum price hikes up. When the international petroleum price goes down, the Oil Corporation of Nepal makes huge profit but neither the market price goes down nor people talk about the profit in petroleum business. This is weird.
