It would be a disaster for Nepal if Maoist win the election.

I might not be the right person to talk politics, looking at the fact that I know very little about the politics of our country, but it doesn't take a very smart person to tell that Maoist are not right for the future of Nepal. Maoist, being a very seroius contender among the top three parties, could be making the framework of the new republic state of Nepal. Like China, our very own coutry's Maoist government, would be supressing any movement towards democracy. Some of us might point out at the royal dynasty and say people of Nepal will always fight tyrant, but are we forgetting the word called GENOCIDE. King Gyanedra was a lot easier to handle, and worse could have happened if he really chose to fight against the people. If maoist come to power, they are not going down easily.

We have lots of example to prove my claim. A recent statement from one of the Maoist supremo Dr. Baburam Bhattarai read, "people would seize power within ten minutes of the announcement of poll results if Maoists were defeated through rigging in Constituent Assembly (CA) election." Let us break his statement one by one. Who are the people he is talking about? Do he think that people having a different opinion to Maoist are not included in his scenario of New Nepal? How can Maoist use the term riggin to defend themselves? Aren't the cadres of YCL the memeber of Mao who are threating, and even assulting oappostion candidates and locals? How come we never hear NC, (UML) doing that: and still Maoist are the ones complaining. If it is election, aren\t all the parties supposed to follow the outcome of it?

I don't even see any change from election. The moment one party is going to win the election, all others would be surrounding the streets of valley, chanting the slogans of how they were rigged in the election. Maoist have already made their statement that: let them win the election or they will not accept the outcome of the polls. And by saying that people are going to seize power, Maoist are already talking about running the country by coercion.

Throughout the history, we have been fighting tyranny-one after another. We might be lined up for another. There are no alternative to the election either. I can only hope NC or CPN UML winning the election. I do not want to be living a life scared from the fear of the ruling government. I should have the democracy to express my opinion, and make decision of my own- choose my own party, and so should be all of ours. I respect everybody's opinion including the supporter of Maoist party, and everyone is welcome to defend their opinion without disrespecting other's.
