I again repeat no kind of federalism is going to work in Nepal. 

It is easy to list out problems and express cynicism.
->It is definitely easy to list problems and express cynicism because I oppose federalism. So the ones supporting it need to tell me what/how they will do to prevent some of the problems I listed earlier.

Shall we just continue what we have at present or bring back the king?
->If all the leaders and politicians and their attitudes remain the same, none of the system is going to work in Nepal. Sorry for my pessimism.

what sort of democracy that would work out?
-> If we are concerned about the development and upliftment of the nation, we already are in the state what we need to be. We got good riddance of a king. What we need now is good law and order SYSTEM. Why's there so much impunity.

Only this week, a 10-year old boy was killed and several others injured in koteshwor by maoist cadres; newspapers published who did it. But the state doesn't have a gut to arrest them, why? Is having federalism going to solve this problem. State didn't arrest because there was a label 'maoist' and the killer was not an ordinary person. Now, we're working to create more labels to tag the killer with the names of castes. Smaller state won't dare to punish the killer from the bigger states. Federalism is just an illusion. What we need now is punish whoever is doing wrong.

Mr. damikattu posted a link this week about how people were crossing the rivers in Rukum. The construction materials for bridge lying there were making mockery out of it. State has crores of rupees to spend for Girija's plane charter to singapore and state's several other wasteful expenditure, but it turns blind eye to the urgent problems like this.
