While GPK can be credited for the CA elections to happen peacefully and on the third anticipateddate (after the first and second dates failed to see CA elections), he can also equally becritisized, along with other leaders of different political parties, for significantly failingto lead the country towards prosperity, peace, and stability. GPK and the NC under him had theirshare to run the country after restoration of Democracy in Nepal in 1990, but what they didwas merely nothing in the country's benefit; GPK's recent political carrer is highlighted by the Controversial Mahakali treaty, infamous Lauda deal, Arun deals among others. Baburam and Prachanda gave birth to Maoism during the NC's tenure. GPK rejected the proposal submittedby the high level Nepal Police team on the Maoists in 1996 in Rukum (when Maoism had justtaken birth and were limited to only Rukum, Rolpa, and the surrounding areas) that some development plans and employment oppurtunities be taken to the remote Maoist-active areasto divert people into some thing constructive or else the Maoism would spread like a forest fire, but no initiative was taken by GPK and as a result the Maoism became the # 1problem of the country and still remians to be the same. Many corrupt leaders like Khum Bahadurand others have remained in his government. However, he's also done some good things likefighting for the people's rights during JA II and now is one of the responsible peoplefor the CA election to make a success. Just my little insight about GPK; both good and bad points; nevertheless, he is saint ascompared to Prachanda terrorists!I am also happy to be wrong that the CA elections happend quite fairly and peacefullywith some minor exceptions.Jay Nepal.
