 Dear Footbakkrocks Jee,

I understand your frustration. Joshi always called himself as a "true democrate" and started to accumulate illeagal wealth long before Maoist came. Maoist came in around 1996. Joshi has been in a lucrative positon since 1992.

Few other currupts are already convicted (Wagle and Gupta). Hope this trend will continue. Hope Maoist will be investigated as well.

See link below. Joshi is the #1 in terms of corruption according to the court report:
