I had a chance to chat with one of top businessmen of Nepal who is also member of the present FNCCI, Nepal executives committee. He was also in New York when Prachanda was in New York. I asked with this gentleman,

Dai, are these Maoist really honest and not corrupt? He replied, I can at least tell you top Maoist Leader are not corrupt. For example I try to bribe Prachanda he will (literally) kill me, which was not the case with Nepali Congress, if somebody offer them only anybody including Girija will take the money. And he said, UML are also not that bad but Nepali Congress are terrible. I can promise you these were his exact words and he is a pure business and he is not affiliated with any political parties as far as I know. He runs multi millions industries in Nepal. Funny thing is Maoist has bombed one of his industry few years ago.

I was so pleased to hear that at least for the moment we have a few honest top leaders in Nepal, which is a big deal for a country like Nepal.

The, I asked to him, what is the big obstacle for the development of Nepal now? He said our bureaucracy is horrible, they do not work or forward files to bargain more bribes. This is the biggest challenge of Maoist lead government for the development at the moment.

I am also very optimistic as Nepe jau about the future of Nepal. Let's be honest and criticize wrongdoings from any side. But lets' stop...Birod ko lagi Birod!
