ImI, Too late you are! Yes Girija has already handed over the reign to the Maoists. It is too late now to even think about it any other way. Girija surrendered a long time ago to the Maoists. He is just the limelight, or the front-end system if you like it that way. The backend is still as red as it can be. The only question is when the so-called NA with the mafia at the top will surrender and become fully professional. ----------- For one thing I do not care who brings peace, prosperity and democracy to Nepal, be it Girija, Makune or Prachanda. If the Maoists bring it, I say OK. Who among the three do you think has the most potential for it, will you care to look at it this way? Or you are too afraid that the dynastical system will be in jeopardy this way. Girija has failed in the past more than once, he is frail and impotent now and has again succumbed to royal bates. We know, and you know, Girija had tried in vain to revolt before the agreement with the Maoists. Girija later realized he needed the barrels of the gun for him to revolt. The democracy Girija has now pinnacled is largely because of the virtual barrels behind the protests. The peace is brought at the costs of lives. We should know why it was so. ---------
