Just confirms my doubt. Kishun ji has gone senile and lost his mind. He just wants the country to backtrack. He is afraid of change, of the future. Probably thinks the panchayati system - with Congress Party playing second fiddle to monarchy - was the golden age of Nepal. But the young Turks within Congress Party have no time to listen to Kishun ji's crap. His comments on keeping monarchy during JanAndolan-2 and now are permanent stains on his otherwise impeccable legacy - they may even undo his legacy. The young Turks within the Congress Party have no time to listen to BP's "melmilap" ko siddhanta, which just got the CA election deferred indefinitely back then, helped lengthen the rule of Monarcy by another 50 or so years and got Congress Party and the country in the mess they are in now, and helped maintain the Koirala family's monopoly over the party mantle. 'Melmiap' ko siddhanta - so narrowly defined and interpreted by the Koirala clan - has Koirala family's political preservation at its core. Given that it will be quite tough to cut short the long shadow that BP continues to cast on Congress Party long after his passing away, the young Turks have started chipping away. Once the sound of 'republic' gains currency among the Congressis and 'melmilap' ko siddhanta gets trashed, the hold of the Koirala family over the mantle of the Congress Party too will likely slip away. Methinks it is a two-fold attack the young Turks are embarking on: at the 200-plus year Monarchy and the Koirala family's 50 plus year monopoly over the Congress Party apparatus. On both the counts, methinks the young Turks within the Congress Party are responding to historical imperatives.
