Bats on an elephant’s ear

BABBLES

By Babbler

Indeed, an election alliance is important for Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda and Madhav Kumar Nepal. Nepal is trying to postpone the local election and hold a federal election with the plan of securing his victory with the support of the Nepali Congress votes.

How the youth leaders in the NC have taken Prachanda and Nepal’s election strategy, is made clear from their recent remarks, “NCP US and Maoist Center are the bats on an elephant’s ear!”

Such humiliating words but no comment from the leader-duo!

Interestingly, the Congress voters are going to be instructed to vote for the communist leaders!

NC leader Sekhar Koirala has announced that his party would ensure the victory of Prachanda and Nepal in the upcoming federal elections!

Congrats to the revolutionary communist leaders!

The Indian warning!

There is a saying that a barking dog never bites. This Babbler saw an Indian barking at an Indian television show “Aaj Tak” saying that he will make Nepal a new Ukraine.

A retired general of the Indian army, Bishambar Dayal was found barking at the TV show saying that Nepal and Bhutan would face the fate of Ukraine if they will become closed to China!

Perhaps, he might be aware that in the first Indo-China war, his army, after facing a humiliating defeat from China, was returning “bravely”! Are the Indians waiting for the next “bravely” war with China then!

Baburam is ashamed!

Baburam Bhattarai, who was and also is an instrumental of the foreign powers in Nepal, is the main person behind writing the present constitution.

Bhattarai, however, is ashamed of practising the very constitution. As the UML is disrupting the House meeting continuously for the past six months, Bhattarai tweeted, “I am ashamed to take the meeting allowance and taxi fare after disrupting the House meeting!”

He didn’t oppose speaker Agni Sapkota, who was keen to dismiss elected MPs under the recommendation of Maoist Center chair Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda but denied taking action against the 14 MPs recommended by the UML! Should a speaker perform such partiality? Shouldn’t he be punished?

As we believe, this is a loottantra and everything is possible in this “tantra” (system)!

Otherwise, whether Bhattarai is aware of the daylight loot taking place in all seven provincial governments?     

QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Leaders and activists of Madhav Nepal and Pushpa Kamal Dahal have lost the courage to respond to the speeches of Dhanraj Gurung, Gagan Thapa and Minendra Rijal. Dhanraj Gurung called them pats hanging on the ears of an elephant. No one seemed to be able to speak. The situation will be like this after losing the thought and position!

R.K. Shilwal

We have sided with the US, we wish to remain under the US umbrella…those who do not understand that a bad policy does not work!

Neither the EU nor the US spoke about the Indian blockade; Nepal is not as important for the US as China and India!

Dipak Poudyal

If there is no collateral damage to the west, don’t irritate both neighbours!

Dipak Gyawali

No book published in the world to date has written a history of beggars being rich and hard workers being poor!

Sarbesh Aryal

Good governance will not be established unless the people boycott the “criminals” who politicize the bureaucracy by allowing civil servants to open “party unions”. Even under the rule of God, no country can make progress by politicizing the bureaucracy.

Rabindra Mishra

The farming season is starting in Nepal after one month, now don’t leave the land without cultivation. Our leadership has plunged the country into a catastrophic crisis. If we do not manage our own food, we will be starving! Let’s save our own lives, let’s build our own country!

Dev Prakash Tripathi

The civil servicemen, the teachers, the judges, the lawyers, the doctors, the journalists, the students, the intellectuals and the civil society – when they all belong to the political parties, they make their parties strong, not the nation!

Rajesh Ahiraj

Be ready for massive fuel price hikes, increase in interest rates, currency devaluation resulting in inflation.

Sujeev Shakya

If the price of crude oil will reach 300 US$ per barrel, half the world could use a bicycle for the city ride! Fuel cars will automatically converted into electric cars, the world can be forced to turn to electric cars, electric buses, hydrogen trucks, electric trains! Rapid impact of Russia-Ukraine war!
