How do we get out of this hole?

I have the answers. They are as follows:

1. First, ask those legal experts who proudly write as makers of the Interim Constitution in their biodata or those advisors who were associated with the making of the Interim Constituion. If they could not anticipate a situation like the one we are facing now within two years of the Interim Constituion is in place, bring out the names of those so called experts, and blacklist them so that they will not repeat the same mistakes or new ones in the new constitution to be drafted.

2. Ask the UML and Madhesi Parties what they meant by neutrality. The Nepali people did not elect them to take this position in the CA. If the UML, as the third largest party in the CA, is playing the game of being "neutral", then they deserve to be punished by the people in the next election. When the UML leaders like Oli and Bamdev are taking a side, what is the meaning of being neutral in the CA? Is this not a tactic to prolong the life of the most incompetent government currently in place? The UML could boycott the election of the PM if they do not feel it has the choice they feel should have. By staying neutral in this case, they are holding the entire country to a ransom.

3. Take out the salary and benefits of those CA members who remain neutral in the PM election and I am sure they all will either come to vote or boycott.

4.Downsize the current caretaker government by keeping only 2-4 key portfolios. Most of the portfolios could be put under the Caretaker PM. Now that the NC has a candidate for the PM, the current government does not have the majority. This will facilitate the making of the new government with the election of the new PM.

There must not be any visit within and outside the country by any minister during the time of such a prolonged caretaker government. It does not make sense since most of the ministers are rendered useless by the prevailing situation.

5. Lastly, if the new constitution cannot be drafted and approved by the CA within the extended time period, the first heard that should roll be of the CA Speaker.

NO MORE extesnion of the CA. IF THE CA MEMBERS CANNOT come up with the new constitution, what is the use of paying them their salary and benefits.

I challenge to Maoists, will they take the unprecedented step of announcing that their members in CA will NOT take any salary and benefits at least for the one year extended period if the constitution is not drafted and approved by the end of the current CA term?

It all boils down to money be it the Nepali Congress, UML, Maoists and Madhesi Morcha or other fringe parties.

Who cares about the country and its people?? Shame on you all political parties. You never learn a lesson from the history. 

Just think of it for a minute:

Each of these parties have  hundreds of leaders and thousand of workers who basically do nothing but just party propoganda and at times do not hesitate to go into cut throat business to achieve their goals, be it an individual or partywise.

All of it means these thousands of people are non productive. In no way they help the economy of the country or much needed physical development process.

How can the country progress with these lazy bums who do nothing but talk..talk..and talk. No wonder they have pushed this beautiful and peaceful country of ours into chaos....

Shame on you all politicians!

Following steps could be the solutions to come out of the hole.

a) huddle all A and Bcategory leaders together and sent them to a boot camp (real bootcamp in desolate place with harsh weather and environment and very basic conditions of living) for several months, devoid them from all the extrenal connections completely and allow them to reflect on the mess they have created of the country, feed them with the real life story of the struggel of the real nepalese trying to keep the heads up from sinking and not the Kathmanduites who have consistent who cares attitude. 

b) Select people from all walks of life who are truely concerened about the national issues and allow them to come with achievable clear action plans to get the country back in track.

c) form a coalition of friends of Nepal ( FON) excluding immediate neighbors (despite being economic giants it is best to keep these two in distance) and allow FON to actively engage in the reconstruction, redevelopment and the implmentation of all action plans without any strings attached. .

d) fin an alternative to the party politics untill the country achieves certain degree of discipline and self sustainment. 

In order to answer your question, how we get OUT of this hole, Mr. Dixit, I suggest you start by trying to answer how we got INTO this hole in the first place.

In particular, try examining what role YOU (i.e. Nepal's media, not just your intelligent self of course) played in getting us this far.

Have you always been HONEST to the Nepali people? Have you let it 'slip' sometimes? Have you exaggerated some points and hidden others? Have you sacrificed any principles to take short-cuts? ...and so on.

If you go through this exercise seriously enough--and of course, honestly enough (presuming that's possible)--you should arrive at a pretty revealing list of what you've done right and wrong in the past half-dozen years or so. See if you can retrace your steps identifing where you went wrong, and PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. And that, Mr. Dixit, is the WAY OUT. Not only for you, for all of us.

By now you must have realized that your ranting and raving, moaning and groaning is not gonna change the politicians one bit. Which is why the only option you really have is to change yourself. And for that this reflective exercise should be very helpful.

But remember, it all depends on HOW HONEST YOU CAN BE WITH YOURSELF!

Ready for it?

Then, go.

...can we expect to see the first results of this exercise in next week's editorial? :-/

1.       Despite differences you need unity to build the Nation.

2.       If you solve your problem wisely by yourself you will upgrade your abilities to work for bigger platforms of the World including taking initiatives to bring some mega projects between China and India. If you try to learn from neighbors, learn their good things and not bad things like buying and selling of CA members. Moreover in most of the issues, best source of knowledge and experience is available in USA and JAPAN.      

3.       For the good of Nepal, now is the time to let Congress govern the Nation because it will help bring the relatively good Constitution (in comparison to other parties) and take local election on the floor.

4.       Madhesi Forum, UML - do not be greedy at the cost of National interest. Let Congress lead the Government. You are doing good by not supporting the Maoist though.

5.       For the Maoist, this is the golden opportunity to improve your image in the World�s knowledge if you support Congress and let them rule. If you go to power you will not be able to bring good Constitution. And always remember right things cannot be achieved by wrong doings.

6.       Local election is long due and this may be a relatively neutral time but this is not a right time. There are some issues where wisdom must prevail.  Issues will come: (a) why not to dissolve Constituent Assembly and let them go for election as well? - I think, CA should be given a time to work for the extended period of time. (b) There will be efforts to bring back Kingship which is not a right path to go. (c) State restructuring issue, Madhesh issue  will also come which should not be an issue at all. Nepal has already stabilized political structure. If it brings new one, it makes sense to pave the ways for economic corridor between China and India.  

7.       Right thing will be to let Congress lead the Government, all help them bring the Constitution and go for election after that.

8.       Kunda, you deserve to be a President, not the Prime Minister.
