What could have NC and UML done to woo these voters who so massively voted for Moist seeing those things absent in NC and UML ?
Nepe bro,
I was pondering on the same question yesterday. First I thought NC and UML didn't do as much homework as maoists prior to this election to try and woo the voters. But with stains of negative impressions these parties have created against themselves in front of the people over the last 18 years, I wonder if there was anything, unless something out of this world or a miracle, they could have done to tarnish their negativities in this last few months.
And add to that the fact that maoists have come in the political framework--although initially as a violent, erratic force but gradually mutated themselves later to a revolutionary one--with a lot of promise and potential. And that meant something to seriously consider for a majority of people who are seeking for change when they have practically nothing to lose from the ground zero where we are at the moment.
That said, one thing that they could have done to perform better, if not drastically well, in this election was perhaps if they hadn't let people with the likes of Khum bahadur, Sujata, Govinda et al. run in the election and given some fresh young blood a chance to run instead, may be they would have been in a better position as a party. It could have relayed a message to the people: "Look we also want change. Give us a chance to start afresh." But of course, that didn't happen and the result is in front of us. Call it their inadequacies or carelessness and incapability to perform, they're paying the price and rightly so IMO.
