BABBLES

Factories for producing politicians
The seven provinces in the country have become factories producing ministers and chief ministers.
In the previous five years, we saw 16 chief ministers and 230 ministers and 24 province chiefs.
Declining economic activities, in the meantime, flourishing political activities have ruined the country to a greater extent, yet, the political leadership are busy with power-sharing politics. Are they practising democracy or loot-tantra?
Congratulating to the wife
President of the Nepali Congress, who is also the Prime Minister, Sher Bahadur Deuba hosted a reception for the newly elected members of parliament from the party. On the occasion, he congratulated those newly elected MPs. He didn’t miss to congratulate his wife Dr Arzu Deuba, who is elected the MP from the quota set for females from the backward community included in the proportional candidates' list. This is the beauty of the present loktantra, a synonym of loot-tantra!
Curbing rape cases
Almost every day, we read reports of the rape and murder of innocent girls. During sports events, we can read reports of betting. These activities are beyond the control of the government security organs. Although it is difficult to digest for the so-called social activists, if the government allows the operation license for prostitution centers, this babbler believes, crimes related to rape and murder could be controlled. In the meantime, the government could get revenue by providing licenses to operate such centers.
Betting and gambling too are beyond the control of the government. If the government allow the license to operate lottery, betting and other gambling activities, it could collect an attractive amount of revenue regularly. Many countries have provided the license to operate such games to meet the fund needed for social sector expenditure. Also, it would be easy to monitor and control illegal activities. Moreover, it could control money flights to foreign countries. The government needed to conduct good homework on these issues.
QUOTES OF THE WEEK
- Those shameless people who are feeding their wives and children by selling the industries established by the king are barking on social media saying Pous 1 is a black day!
- Those who give big talks about the nation’s prosperity should return to the three decades back. During that era, electric buses used to ply in Kathmandu city. Let's not talk much. Let's do it. Let's salute the then leadership. It would be a great job if the leaders of the day could resume the electric buses and ropeway which were in operation 30 years ago!
- The friends in the media should understand that the nation’s economy is facing a very difficult time. Let them understand that the economic situation is very worst and on the verge of collapse. The worsening situation may affect all of us. Therefore, a timely remedy is needed to rescue the country’s economy.
- The government's policy of increasing long-term liabilities (taking more loans and spending them on the current expenditure) is inviting accidents later on. Be serious, don’t play with the future of our upcoming generation!
- Unproductive/distributive agendas and the politics of exploitative working style are leading the nation towards an economic crisis.
- There has come a situation where the revenue in the country cannot even cover current expenses. Revenue collection till November of the current year is 3.54 trillion rupees. Current expenditure is also 3.54 trillion rupees.
- Kulman Ghising said that he exported electricity worth Rs 16 billion (400MW daily) but he did not explain that electricity worth Rs 32 billion (800MW daily) was wasted. If the cement industry had been electrified, the electricity worth Rs 32 billion would have reduced diesel import by Rs 128 billion (the price of diesel consumed by the engine). This is not Rs 32 billion. 128 billion deficit.
