lau.ta, I understand the sentiment of yours. The reality is that none of current political leaders have the vision for economic development of the nation. So no matter who comes to power, we will have the same problems of load shedding, no drinking water, traffic chaos, and other problems. But these leaders are talking as if every problem will disappear after CA election or when they come to power, which is not true. We don't have natural resources. All we had was water, most of which have already been sold to India. We don't have timber or any other resources. We've to import most of the thing from other countries, so the trade deficit is very high, and the cost of living is increasing every day without any increase in people's income. The situation looks scary. At least there is some reduction of budget for security and royal purposes. But I'm afraid that the current government is not being wise enough for saving; the budget has been increased for maoists management, donations to leaders in the name of health check-ups, etc.
