Nepali politics is roaming around a group of corrupt visionless and power-hungry people and always they are fighting for power. What are the economic goals of the leaders who are trying to forge a coalition government and in what direction do they plan to carry the nation, these are not the political agendas of the parties trying to go to the government! They are counting the number to form the government and they are conspiring against each other to head the government. Shamelessly, they are even roaming around the Lainchour Durwar to get Delhi’s blessing to become the prime minister of Nepal. In a recent television interview, a former chief election commissioner disclosed a complaint made by an Indian diplomat that those political leaders visit the diplomat asking him to make them the prime minister and minister. To support this argument of the former chief election commissioner, Maoist Center chair and former prime minister Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda publicly said that one needs foreign power’s blessing to become the prime minister in Nepal. Clearly, when foreigners make the government in Nepal, the government here will be loyal to the very power center.

What foreigners, especially the West and the South, want in Nepal is that there should be a permanent unstable government led by an incapable lame-duck prime minister with a similar type of ministers so that they could achieve their interests. Making Nepal an economically weak country, a politically unstable nation and leaders always running behind the foreign powers are the main goals of the foreign powers. India wants an India-puppet government and the West wants a government friendly with western strategies including a government friendly to the Christianity campaign.

We voted for our representatives but instead of representing us, our leaders are in a race to become the representatives of foreign powers. Now, the leaders are in a race for bagging foreign powers’ blessings to enjoy the power and continue daylight loot in the nation.    

The reality is that a single party is not allowed to form the government. Under the present anti-Nepal and anti-Nepali political system, it will be a rare opportunity to see a single-party majority in parliament. The politics remains under the grip of Sher Bahadur Deuba, K.P. Sharma Oli, Pushpakamal Dahal and Madhav Nepal and they are under the grip of foreign powers. Among those four leaders, one will become the prime minister and others will wait for their turn. This is the picture of the upcoming five years.
