BABBLES
By Babbler
Maoist Center supremo Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda has said that if he wishes, a massive development of the nation is possible within ten years. It means, until now, he had not wished for it or he is seeking ten years more to enjoy power!
This Babbler believes, he knows better about destruction than reconstruction.
NC’s election ticket business
An election is a profit-making business for the Nepali Congress as it gets the opportunity to sell election tickets to the candidates. This is not us to say but NC leader and former President of the nation, Rambaran Yadav. When the President of the country says, we must believe.
One thing is clear, in this loot-tantra, nothing is free. If any civil serviceman wants posting or transfer, he needs to pay commission in advance. If one wishes to become the ambassador, either he or she should be the relative of the supreme leader or influential leaders of the political parties, otherwise, the pre-paid commission is necessary, no matter, how capable are you. This not only applies to the Nepali Congress but also all the political parties.
From a British newspaper
“An unemployed man gets a job at 73.”
Interesting to note!
Gorkhapatra and Nepal
How to save the government mouthpiece, the oldest newspaper in the country, many reports have been prepared by different committees at different times.
Gorkhapatra was started during the Rana days and it served the nation during the Panchayat days as the government mouthpiece.
When multiparty democracy was introduced, the concept of running mouthpieces by the government was questioned. Every time, when the parties remain in opposition, they demand for making the publication house an autonomous body or privatise it. When the very party joins the government, they continue to run it as a government mouthpiece.
Like the government, the Gorkhapatra Corporation is also unstable as leaderships change there along with the change of the government. It has ended the value of journalism and the Corporation is facing a big financial loss. The same applies to other media run by the government. This doesn’t end here but in all the government-run corporations and industries, the situation is the same.
If such investments have to be saved, they should be allowed to run autonomously by maintaining the value of professionalism.
Many government-run industries were operating in profit during the panchayat days but are presently closed. Every time, when a new government is formed, the ministers’ first decision will be to make effort to run those closed industries. Different committees will be formed for resuming the industries but they never start.
The reason, we know, is the political leaders who are not keen to run such government undertakings giving employment to thousands of locals. The reason we know that if poverty among the people is eliminated, the vote price will increase. Leaders don’t want to increase the vote.
QUOTES OF THE WEEK
- One head of state; central government with 15 ministers; one and a half hundred directly elected parliamentarians and at the local level one district, one mayor and deputy mayor; district administration, police administration, army. They are enough for a small and poor country like Nepal.
Thousands of unnecessary posts have been created just to loot together.
TA Jung
- After all the power of the country has been destroyed, federalism was imposed by foreigners to see if there is anything left to protect the country!
Dhan Bahadur Khatri
- It is natural to mourn and pay tribute to the death, but in India, a British colony and currently a member of the British-led Commonwealth, it was decided to lower the flag for one day and in Nepal for three days. Bend everywhere in Nepal!
Bhim Rawal, PhD
- In the UK:
“I [King] Charles III…promise…that I will strictly maintain and defend the “true Protestant religion” according to tradition and law.”
British Ambassador in Nepal, 2071 BS:
“Secularism should be ensured in Nepal’s new constitution.”
We all shut up!
Rabindra Mishra
- A situation is coming where one should choose either country or a party. Foreign slave leadership and increasing debt burden have become the enemy of the republic.
Rajesh Ahiraj
- It is not known that the country is made bankrupt by throwing away the monarchy. There are streams of mourning over the passing away of the British Queen by the same people here!
Laxman Biyogi
- Britain proved itself as a hypocrite in the eyes of Nepalese – it is running the government based on monarchy, religion and tradition and pushing Nepal in the opposite direction. Question: Why and on what interest?
What kind of foreign mercenaries our leaders are?
Prakash Ghimire
- No holiday is granted on the birth anniversary of founding king Prithivi Narayan Shah but three days of mourning have been announced on the demise of a foreign Queen!
Bikalpa
- Balen, Balen! When the Kathmandu mayor arrived at the Indra Jatra festival, the crowd lauded him.
Balen who walked hand in hand with children and other leaders who got down from the car surrounded by army-police and bowed their heads inside!
This event has divided a line between the future and the past of this country.
I suddenly became optimistic about the country!
Basanta Gautam
- With the election atmosphere, the lizards started changing colour, all new and old sages started rubbing ashes, our sovereign rights started to bite in the name of the coalition, murderers started sitting in front of Buddha’s statue, and those who call religion as opium started chanting Ram Naam, education and health businessmen started lauding slogans of socialism.
Shambhu Chouhan
- It is reprehensible for Congress to use its workers to burn effigies against the President for stopping the Citizenship Bill. The ruling party coming to the streets against the President is nothing but a shameful and immoral act.
Pradip Bhattarai
- Salute to all my Generals! You are the honour of the Nepali Army.
Our neighbours, not by explosives and bullets, but by voting, are planning to split our motherland.
Please, do something!
Prem Singh Basnyat, PhD
- The price of petroleum products has skyrocketed, but they are silent. The market price hike has made lifestyle difficult, they don’t speak. They do not talk about educational reforms. They heat the streets demanding immediate approval of the citizenship bill. Very shameful.
Chhabi Baral
- Federalism has become a white elephant for Nepal. The entire budget is spent to function the provincial structures. Now the Prime Minister himself has said that the budget goes to the salary of the employees and now there is no budget. This is the time to remove federalism.
