Kamal Thapa Rocks

Monarchy may soon creep back to power. Seven Parties especially Maoists screwed up big time by failing to conduct elections on time. People are going to be fed up soon. This illusion about Loktantra and Ganatantra is not going to keep people happy when streets are not being cleaned and people are being robbed and killed in broad day light.

People are going to question the legitimacy of Girija's Government. How is the Seven Party Government different from King's Government? Both were not elected.

I know Kamal Thapa and et. al are crooks and failed to lead Nepal. But how is Prachanda different? How is Girija different?

In Nepali politics, the best position to be in is in opposition. You need to stay low and remain patient. The party in Government is always drunk with power. Slowly, they start making mistakes. However, Government is too arrogant to accept it. People do not care about it. They make bigger and bigger mistakes. Suddenly, people realize that situations have not improved. Then people start looking for an alternative. Then the opposition comes back to power with a BANG using people's frustration as a tool. Drama continues.

This storyline gets repeated all the time in Nepali politics. I will not be surprised if it is repeated once again. Prachanda and Girija are too arrogant to notice it and still basking on the success of the Jana Andolan II. However, I do not know how long they can count on people's support they got two years ago.
