The government has distributed more than Rs 80 million from the state coffers as "financial assistance". Although the assistance is meant for poor, disabled and the needy, money has been distributed to powerful and mighty. Among those taking the assistance are NC president Sushil Koirala, Maoist vice chairman Narayankaji Shrestha and Bhutan refugee leader Teknath Rizal. Narayankaji Shrestha received Rs 1 million for medical expenses while Rizal and Koirala received Rs 1.2 million and 108,000 respectively. CA members have also received substantial help from state coffers. UML MP Dambar Bahadur Khadka whose son died in a motorcycle accident received Rs 1.2 million in compensation while Maoist MP Jaipuri Gharti received Rs 250,000 thousand to pay her medical bills. Organisations like Nepal Transport Workers Union, Dhading, Manka Khala Ceremony Organising Committee, Boudha Conference, Dhimal Festival and Kirat Dharma International Festival. Jivaraj Ashrit, Krishna Sen Ichhuk and Netra Abhagi Memorial foundations have been given Rs 5 million each this fiscal year. Rs 1.1 million was given to the International Youth and Students Festival and Rs 500,000 to ex-MPs forum to conduct a workshop on Peace and Constitution.

Loot ko dhan fufuko sraddha.
Netas /leaders are the servants of the state and the people.
But they vomit the name of the same people and taking the name of the people ,in the name of people likr the mediaval princes and the pope they indulge in all kinds of nefarious activities.
Servants not masters.
Why not ask them to refund the cash they have usurped.?
The present socalled netas have outlived their utilities and live in an age which has nothing to do with the present.
Let there be moratorium to lead this nation with age bar of 50 years.
No political position after fifty years for the next decade.
That is the only way to get rid of these dead woods of Nepali politics.

Ghantakarna will be the appropriate name for our political bosses;they also devour the future of our children. They loot our resources and polute our society. They have also ushered the culture of violence and murder in our land.
So they are actually taking our children and eat them their future.
So Tulo Ghata Sanu Ghanta Ghantakarnas all of them at the Top.
