On the eve of his visit to India, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai wrote an article in The Hindu in which he claimed the visit had 'historical significance'. The irony, of course, is that the chief ideologue of the Maoist party who once called for expulsion of Indian companies from Nepal is now visiting India as prime minister and trying to woo Indian investors.

Travelling economy again, the prime minister will have economic issues at the top of his agenda. Nepali politics is too complicated even for the Indians, and they have found that overt interference can be counterproductive. India is worried about security issues, and there will have to be some give and take on that.

The prospect of $250m line of credit and 250MW of electricity import could be crucial in the short-term because Nepal has no Indian currency to fund burgeoning imports from India, and little electricity this winter.

1. who cares
"the chief ideologue of the Maoist party"

but today, some medias and some fools are portraying as if puspa is behind all the ills and bhatterai is behind all the goodies.

"The irony, of course, is that the chief ideologue of the Maoist party who once called for expulsion of Indian companies from Nepal is now visiting India as prime minister and trying to woo Indian investors."

this is the perfect time for the families of victimized to ask bhatterai, maoist "why were 17000 killed?"

Lee Kuan Yew was asked by Tom Plate ,during conversations for the book about him.
"Who were some great men you have met?"
Lee replies,"I would say the greatest was Deng Xiaoping. At his age,to admit that he was wrong ,that all these ideas,Maxism, Leninism,Maoism, they are just not working and have to be abandoned, you need a man to do that and to convince or override his Old Guard colleagues and say , now we go this different way."
Will Babu Ram ,sometime callede the Deng of Kathmandu step in Deng's shoes? He has to carry piggy back ,his chief abused by the Ultras as Raw agent, the Quisling to the Revolution 7 the killing , by the Gang of Five.

Baburam... your revolution has failed. You are a miserably failed person as well. You are gut less and spineless and a coward. Do you know why ? The same questions so many are dying to ask you - what will you say to 17000 who died for your stupid cause, you were for expeling Indian business from Nepal and now you are a beggar in India. You are nothing than a puppet, a stooge, a flunkie of your India Sahib, your masters. You are disgusting for not having any moral value. You make all Nepalis sick in their stomach. You can go to hell for what you are, a liar. a killer and a thief.
