The parties who framed the current constitution had claimed that it to be one of the best in the world. They want to change the same constitution when they are out of power. We have seen many governments and many prime ministers in this decade of democracy. And they all totally neglected the interests of the common man. The basis of democracy is to honor the needs of the people but the parties were only interested to fulfill the needs of their leaders. The parties were also unable to change their failed leadership. How can the country survive when there are no replacements for corrupt and incapable leaders? We have also seen how alien forces have been effectively interfering in our internal affairs. The political parties that ruled Nepal after the restoration of democracy have been led by corrupt, immoral and unscrupulous leaders. There is such a big dearth of good and honest leadership that G.P. Koirala despite his corruption, utter incompetence and many scandals is still enjoying his party's loyalty. Elsewhere he would have been in the limbo long ago. The history of past few decades post King Mahendra era clearly shows that the country has not been able to take the right course for political stability, betterment of the people and eradication of poverty. However, there was peace in the country. But so many unfortunate things have happened in the nation in this short time of multiparty rule. We have seen how lust for power has impelled democrats to bring down their own party government. We have also seen how the government could not provide security to the then monarch and his whole family was brutally massacred. Prospects in Nepal do not seem to be bright. The poor country with overwhelming illiterate masses is being divided ethnically. And the politicians are encouraging the division to nurse their own selfish interest. But in King Gyanendra, we still have a ray of hope. How liberal and broadminded he is, has been amply demonstrated by his behavior after he became the King. But can we believe in what late Ganesh Man Singh had said about the people of Nepal? To refresh your memory, he had said, "The people of Nepal are like fools. They celebrated when we were taken in and they rejoiced when we were released." Poor Ganesh Man Singh was not far wrong. Anyway, the time has come when Ganesh Man Singh will stand corrected.
