Dear Mr 'no quiero' ,brother,..lets not be too short sighted....what we need is a true democractic Nation in the long term...which finally seems to come for REAL- in Nepal unlike in 1990 which was there only for name but existed neither in principle nor in theory(constitution). What was unimaginable has now become possible. The wave started by Maoists to overthrow Monarchy(i.e. not only the king but the whole old system where the Govt./power/resources were centralized and limited and rotated to only particular group) and to bring the fresh air of 'republican' have not only influenced UML and Congress but also parties like RPP. Let's not worry about the short term chaos the country is facing...be it in the name of YCLs or royalists.Once the old system gets totally wiped out we will get to see neither YCL's aggressive acts nor Royalists regressive acts. But We should rather look at the long term effect of the 'Changes'- brought in by the democratic forces in the country.In this respect, 'Maoist' contribution is significant,without which the democratic forces could never get this much strength to overthrow the old system...which still needs a tougher steps to be completely wiped out. Once we enter a true democratic 'New Nepal' -we need not worry neither of YCL's aggressiveness or royalists regressiveness. These factors will automatically get wiped out if the system is effective. To get the system effective we need to enter New Nepal with new system and new Constitution.
