Guys, Rs. 67 crore was announced in the last budget as the allocation of expenses for Royal palace for the fiscal year 2061/2062 only. In the budget, figures are announced as development budget, adminstrative budget, defence budget and so and so. and one of the budget head is palace budget. Since Girija was sacked from the post of the primeminister, palace's budget has been increased by more then 20 folds until now. This budget is adminstered for the 13 members of Royals, the number of these royals was in itself increased to 13 from 5 after Sher Bahadur became the prime minister in the aftermath of the palace massacre. Besides, Gyane's business empire makes him the richest man in Nepal. With Surya Tobacco, Soaltee group, Sipradi trading and many other businesses, plus the wealth of murdered King and Queen, and lots of government land under the palace's name, he has vast and uncalculated wealth which dwarfs the combined wealth of top 10 wealthy businessman. Unaccounted wealth within Nepal and abroad is simply unimaginable. For growing maoists atrocities, You blame Girija but keep in mind that the Army refused for operation against the maoists trapped in Holeri in the midst of 2059. Most of the top brass of maoists were locked in there. Gyanendra pathetically renounced Girijas's call for full scale assault that time. Till then the Maoist never attempted to attack army barracks. NOw they are in the verge of attack in the capital. Girija had his shortcomings but he never got the support from the army when needed. I tell you again. Don't be fooled by Gyanendra. He is not a leader, he is a cruel man. His history tells all about who he is. Now, ther's not a penny of doubt that he did killed the family of his brother to fulfill his ambition of ruling Nepal autocratically. If you still believe in him, you are a dumb arse. time will tell, Gadhalai dhoera Gai kaile hudaina sathiharu. Bhram ma naparau.
