from the earlist rounds of public voting, nepal idol became a centre of communal voting and lobbying . there are e-news papers and YT channels working for different participants and people are spreading hateful and biased comments and news against other contestants.

thats why the judges are basically sticking to different versions of 'you sang well, alll the best'
