As a matter of fact, I also think Mr. Yadav’s excessive “maverickism” and less patience/understanding for the arduous process required for the sustainable reform has discredited otherwise possibly a good (and naïve) intention.

were not in power and a “magi khane bhaando” while in power.

Interestingly, Prachanda has claimed a couple of times that he has a
group of highly qualified experts currently busy doing homework/
research to come up with a grand economic plan for
I am watching with great anticipation and crossing my fingers.
