If I were a rightist, I would be sneaking into Surya Bdr Thapa & Co�s whisky party, my ideas would be triumphant Damakant. If I were a leftist, I would run like a lost soul, wondering who can sell me an illusion justifiably: actually we(leftists) have a season where or we�re kicked out or our lives are made impossible. Look at the United States of America: they have devoured Obama in two years and made him a prisoner of the Republicans, THE TEA PARTY WORKED. Turn the binoculars to Europe; there�s hardly any socialist party in any government, who are threatened by polls, the far right enters into the European Parliament not even a single communist party. Look at our own so called (without any intention to offend any innocent soul)transexual communist leaders like Madhav Nepal, KP Oli and many UML bandwagons, they are around the power but we do not even know if they will be resubmitted after any future elections , yes they have their four votes secured that people do not want. And Halt in Terai; there will be no UML after any future elections. Not only in Nepal the left is being reduced and the right advances toward the total control of the power. This has been a sacred truth of current political scenario of global politics, like it or not.

It's like a plot of circumstances adverse to social democracy, like khana man lagyo bhannuko satta bhok lagyo bhannu, they�ve confused the hunger with appetite. The bad luck has matched the economic disaster with many governments of left who have failed to offer solutions or, if offered, were sterile. Consequently, they are rejected. Not that the right has been started to be loved as a great salvation. It is because that the left has lost neccessary support to govern and de-sketched their own imagination  ie coherence in politics. Most probably the Maoists are not going to suffer any huge electoral loss If the elections are held tomorrow, but day after tomorrow�? I can�t say the same. I mean the Maoists although being �the most dynamic and well organised party�(let�s place it between commas) equally poses threat, due to its ideological imbalance, their unability to understand that no political party can turn Democracy into connivance.

The Maoist leaders not only have governed badly during their nine months tenure and have failed to communicate to society properly, but also its ideology has fallen short for new challenges after the declaration of Republic together with the rightists of Nepal. The Maoist sponsored public conflicts on the crisis prevailed are over conservative solutions. Just an example: New social movements, such as Madhes uprising, Limbuwaan-Khumbuwaan morcha, Tharuwaan and the peace rally belong to the Right side in strict political language but why this play down the Maoists' importance of being the left?  So in Nepal, still there is much to make the real left space in politics apart from those tikatalo and fulmaala shows offered in name of unity. No left party who have achieved representation in recent years are inspired by that motto which, normally we(leftists) have it screened on our brain:in politics you should care both the core of the matter as well as the way to accomplish it. The left in Nepal are a sort of disenchanted leakage of socialism, as is the case of Maobadi, emale, majdoor kissan party etc. On the left there is just a barren land, with the old stands of old and, I regret to say, with a speech that has changed little since Lenin, Stalin era but pretends to give volume of fumes with the terminology New Nepal.

 

That is my view and certainly the political sign of our times. The politicians who are leading right-wing groups are now at the right time and right place. If the crisis is resolved during their tenure, it�ll be a blow for social democracy which will take long to recover.

   If I were the rightist Damakant, I�d say, be happy we have had a good sait and our daurasuruwaal shines in absence of the real left, pity that the rightists in Nepal are as always inefficient people! Too busy on their own pompous daily lives and overly enchanted within their own circle. But, if I am from the left side, first of all I�d look at this trend and would better try for a bunzy jump somewhere in Nepal and only know to tell the winners: "At least, Do not abuse ladies and gentlemen", If I've to suggest anything before jumping.

Mr. Damakant, write- a strong disconnection from the people instead of the strong disconnect with the people...
