GPK's landslide vicory is due to, among other things, his BOWING DOWN to republicanism. GPK was REWARDED for his adjustment with the idea of REBULICANISM. Narahari was NOT REWARDED for his too short a history (one week for God's sake !) of coming forward for the leadership on one hand and a mass sense of DUTY to REWARD Koirala for his hard adjustment with REPUBLICANISM. Whether Koirala's adjustment with REPUBLICANISM is genuine and lasting or not is a different question. However, REPUBLICANISM won in the NC convention for now. NC convention thew away the MONARCHY not only form it's VIDHAN but also from minds of the workers !
