It is an open secret among Nepalis that which leader is supported by which foreign power. We, the voters, run after our party leaders, but they merely count our heads and sell them to their foreign contacts.

The American deep state seeks to institutionalize federalism, republicanism, and secularism and to turn Nepal into an American military base by rewarding U.S.-funded individuals with the posts of prime minister and president.

Old horses are outdated; new ones have entered the race.

Indians believe that even after the March 5 elections, their political influence will not decline. However, the Americans are making efforts to sweep away the old political establishment and bring deep-state-funded groups into the limelight. Balen (Balendra) Shah and Gagan Thapa are being projected as the next prime minister, and Baburam Bhattarai as the next president. They are all cunning leaders who have also lied to and deceived their voters in the interests of foreign powers.

Before the local elections, Balen made many commitments but left the mayor’s post without fulfilling his promises, including the proper management of the garbage problem in the Kathmandu Valley. Gagan is not a trustworthy leader. As for Baburam Bhattarai, he is a leader who has repeatedly deceived the nation. It has now become clear that all of them operate under different agencies backed by both American and Indian interests.

Let us look at the past. After 1990, Nepal became fertile ground for INGOs operated by various deep states. These INGOs, along with the Indian deep state, sponsored the Maoist “People’s War” to destabilize the country from all directions. The West succeeded in imposing secularism, federalism, and republicanism—a system that has already failed on Nepali soil.

Nepal, a peaceful country before 1990, turned into a land of bloody conflict. Corruption, commissions, and crime became synonymous with loktantra. Some brokers became permanent power brokers, running the country by manipulating political leaders. Many cases involving corruption and serious crimes have been suppressed under political influence.

Financially, Nepal has been placed on the “grey list,” and it is now more likely to be downgraded to the black list, as the government has failed to control illegal financial activities. On the one hand, the general public is restricted from making cash transactions above five hundred thousand rupees; on the other, the government is unable to curb gold smuggling and hundi transactions. These anomalies are the so-called gifts of loktantra to Nepal.

If these people contesting elections under the symbol of the “bell” or under Gagan’s leadership, get win, American influence in Nepal will undoubtedly intensify. One individual, Swarnim Wagle, openly advocates the Monroe Doctrine and is being positioned as a future finance minister. He openly encourages foreign intervention in Nepal. Moreover, he argues that the government’s role is not to do business—an idea that does not fully suit Nepal, where the law of demand and supply does not function properly due to the excessive influence of middlemen and brokers, themselves encouraged by political leaders and parties.

Understandably, Wagle appears to be following the “Trumproe Doctrine.” Beyond the Western-imposed concepts of secularism, federalism, and republicanism, he offers no new agenda.

There are still genuine political parties, including the Rastriya Prajatantra Party, which stands for Sanatan Hindu civilization, but these patriotic forces have been overshadowed by media houses funded by the Trumproe network.

As for the patriotic population, the majority favors Sanatan Hindu civilization—that is, a Hindu kingdom free from a federal structure. However, they are misled by civil society groups and media funded by foreign powers. It would not be surprising if the Rastriya Swatantra Party emerges as the largest party and even if Balen Shah defeats K. P. Sharma Oli, as the election has become a battlefield among foreign powers.
