These Fu** are insane. Instead of making these palaces as a Museum or something, they want to use these as their luxury means so that they can sit on their FAT ass enjoy every bit of it. Way to go for so called New Nepal……….. Narayanhiti may one day become a ‘presidential palace’ In an interesting revelation, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Prithvi Subba Gurung has said the government is mulling to turn the Naryanhiti royal palace into a ‘presidential palace’. Speaking at an interaction programme organised by the Reporters Club in the capital Tuesday, minister Gurung said the government was mulling over whether to use the Naranhiti palace, where King Gyanendra lives currently, as the office of the future head of the state or the Prime Minister. He said the constituent assembly would take a final decision on this. Gurung further said that most of the palaces and lands owned by late King Birendra and the property owned by Gyanendra as the King have been brought under the government ownership. According to the minister, 43825 ropanies of jungle area and more than 1900 ropanies of land have already been nationalised and that the ownership certificates of these estates and the Nayanhiti palace have been issued in government’s name. The nationalisation drive will be completed when the upcoming cabinet meeting approves the decisions of the five-member ministerial committee formed to nationalise the royal property. The ministerial committee has not however found any bank account of King Gyanendra in Nepal, Gurung, himself a member of the committee, informed. The government had directed the Nepal Rastra Bank to provide details of the bank accounts, if any, of King Gyanendra. Minister Gurung said the committee has found accounts of late Queen Aishworya, late Crown Prince Dipendra and late Prince Nirajan in the Standard Chartered Bank and that the money is found to have been transferred to other bank accounts abroad. The ministerial panel headed by Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula, which has been given 15 days to complete its task, has already decided to nationalise at least 12 palaces, jungles and land owned by the King. King Gyanendra is currently ‘vacationing’ at the Nagarjun palace, northwestern suburb of Kathmandu, which has also come under government ownership now
