BABBLES

By Babbler Jivan Bahadur Shahi, the only province council member from the Nepali Congress has become the chief minister. How can he control his cabinet and the House, one can imagine. Nevertheless, such odd things can be witnessed in Nepali loktantra. When will water from Melamchi come? It is now unpredictable that when the Kathmanduites will get the opportunity to drink water from Melamchi! For decades, the drinking water project became the victim of politics and corruption. Now, due to the floods, the project has been very badly damaged and when the repair works will be completed, we don’t know. The fate of Khadichour-Charikot road For the last six years, the Khadichour-Charikot road is in very worst condition. The contractors, after bidding on the contract, have been disappeared. The road is the lifeline of people in Charikot and also Jiri, popular tourist destinations. When the construction contractors have been disappeared, the locals have started to display the images of the minister for transportation, secretary and director-general in the Road Ministry and Department. Earlier, they had displayed the images of the contractors. The local’s idea is appreciable. QUOTES OF THE WEEK 
  • Neither Cholendra is right, nor the agitating lawyers, nor the republic is right, nor the republican leaders! Let's stop cutting the branches of the republic but uproot it.
Yugadrasta  
  • He said that the House session was ended to bring the ordinance. And we are compelled to say him the president of a democratic party!
He has transformed Nepali Congress into NCP (Prachanda-path). Arun Dhoj Adhikary  
  • The system has changed but the condition of the people has become more critical. With the people’s vote, they have become ministers, parliamentarians, mayors, chairpersons and they increased the salary, services, and facilities such as house /car! There is no change in the living standards of the common people.
Prakash Chamling Rai  
  • President in new car and helicopter; Vice President at the Social Welfare Council's building; Prime Minister is in new residence; governors, chief ministers and ministers are at their new residence in Bhansepati.
Revenue collected from the hard-working people is being spent for their fun. Hardworking young men and women are shedding their sweat in Malaysia, Japan, Korea and Arabia. Ministers' sons and personal secretaries are travelling abroad in the government fund received through loans. The state of education, health, drinking water is in decline. Such is the air and water of the Republic of Nepa!. Bala Ram Sapkota  
  • Perhaps, Madhav Nepal now wants to transform all as Pranami by prescribing for not consuming even garlic or onion!
Don’t be panic, he said not to consume alcohol but not the Holy Wine! Dipak Poudyal  
  • Tragic, shameful incidents that are rare in the world are happening in the courts of Nepal.
After the introduction of the multi-party system, the distortions and inconsistencies that started from the political appointments in the courts have escalated. Now, removing the Chief Justice alone will not solve this problem permanently. Roshan Sibakoti  
  • The electric buses of almost 5 decades ago are now in a state of disrepair and are limited to cartoons!
But the same trolley bus is saying "I am the future"! The Department of Transportation Management, which now has its own office in the Trolley Bus Office, would have been surprised to understand this! Bhushan Tuladhar  
  • The businessmen were known as a swindler for a long time, then the badge was shifted to politicians, contractors and employees. Now, the chief justice is facing the charge of being a great swindler. National image has been tarnished at a time when there is the need for identifying Nepal as a beautiful, noble country!
Panta Nava Raj  
  • The person who has come to challenge Gyanendra Shah to contest the election should demonstrate the courage to hold a referendum on the issue of the monarchy.
Let him hold the referendum on federalism and secularism! Has he the courage? Dilli Bhattarai  
  • The fourth time failure PM, who has not been able to handle the situation, has challenged the former king to contest the election.
Do you know what happens if Sher Bahadur and the former king contest the election from the same constituency? The former king wins while staying at Nagarjuna! Bikash Sangraula  
  • If already dissolved parliament can be restored, the overthrown monarch Gyanendra can declare the government from Nirmal Niwas by declaring Deuba incompetent again and dissolving the parliament.
The monarchy was sidelined by asking whom? The monarchy is still legal, the constitution should be torn and thrown away! Sanatan Chautari  
  • Don't demonstrate your anger on the king, give good governance. The court is on strike, the parliament is standstill, the government is involved in corruption/totalitarianism, proselytism is widespread, four million young people have fled abroad in search of employment. The federal republic has failed.
RPP chair Kamal Thapa
