Against the rules and regulations of the country, the cabinet meeting held on November 10 has decided to give an order for resuming electricity supply to the industries denying paying electricity bills used through an agreement under the dedicated and trunk lines.
Earlier, Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli had given oral order to Kulman Ghising, managing director of the Nepal Electricity Authority. When he asked for a written letter, from the government, the Minister for Energy and Water Resources, Deepak Khadka, denied giving a written letter. Now, the proposal has been endorsed by the cabinet meeting to escape any possible investigation on abuse of authority in future.
The NEA source says that the nation is going to lose seven billion rupees worth of revenue from the government's decision.
Unfortunately, the general public is compelled to pay 25% of interest if delayed paying the electricity bill and after a certain time, the people face electricity cutoff but the industrialists get special favor from the “socialist” government!
Maybe, this is a deal done between the industrialists and the political parties in the government under the table!
Gentleman agreement for Balkrishna Khand?
Former home minister Balkrishna Khand was released on bail from an order of the High Court. The case is on but NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba has used his power to make weak the case against Khand. Khand was arrested on the charge of being involved in sending Nepali nationals covered under the Bhutanese refugees to the USA. However, it is said that a gentleman agreement has been made among the political leaders to close their eyes on such mal-governance and corruption cases in which influential leaders are involved.
It is said that if all files related to corruption and abuse of authority are opened, 90% of leaders will face corruption charges.
PKD’s American model
Nowadays, Maoist Center Chairman Pushpakamal is describing the beauty of the American system. The present model of the political system written by foreigners has failed in Nepal. Dahal himself believes, the political system has failed and he is going to carry the new agenda of a directly elected president prohibiting MPs from becoming ministers. Dahal has argued that such a modality would end corruption in the country. Maybe, Dahal is unaware that the American Presidential candidate is selected from a certain race of people and supported by the business tycoons. Others get no entry. Even the female leadership has been discarded in the American politics. Moreover, Dahal seems unaware of how much funds were collected by the presidential candidates! Furthermore, due to the presidential election, America has been divided into two parts. It may cause a serious situation in the USA.
In a Nepal-like country, a directly elected president could be more harmful as foreign powers invest in them and once a foreign candidate is elected, the person will serve the foreign powers rather than the Nepalis. Accordingly, the elected president can become an autocrat and kill democracy forever, mind it.

Is this practised in Nepal or in other countries also? Manufacturing companies can produce playing cards; they can be openly sold in shops; people can openly buy playing cards but they are prohibited from playing cards.

In the complex geopolitics of the world and the increasingly sensitive internal situation of Nepal, there is no alternative but to develop a new consensus to stop the crisis if future generations are to stay in the country safely and prospectively.

A brave lawyer is yet to be born who would file a murder case against those crusher owners who exploited river products causing devastating floods in the Rosy and Nakhu rivers and damaging human settlements!

Sometimes I think the 78-year-old king continues to create an atmosphere in favor of the royal institutions across the country and those who call themselves royalists are spoiling that atmosphere due to their selfishness and arrogance. Otherwise, when the whole country is in favor of the Royal institutions, why can't we give it a shape? The time has come for the pro-monarchy parties and groups to be united.

The Nepali Congress is not in a position to take back its support to the government because half of the NC MPs will go to jail as soon as they leave the government.

Corrupt leaders are not only guilty of ruining this country, but those people who voted for them are equally guilty.

Locals in Chitwan wanted to establish King Mahendra’s statue in Chitwan by collecting donations. The local body demolished the structure site, which is a big insult to the history of the country.
Leaders are constructing the statue of their family members from the government budget, unfortunately, they cannot tolerate an honor to King Mahendra, who established the base of modern Nepal and contributed a lot to the development of the country!
