Poor performance



Poor performance

The Oli led government has completed its three months honeymoon period with unconvinced and unimpressed performance. It was not able to perform to the satisfaction of the common people. Their daily lives have been very difficult due to acute shortage of fuel and essential goods. The government completely failed to curb the rampant corruption and black marketing taking place right under its nose as reported in (“Government has failed, says Jhalanath Khanal”, THT, 12 January, Page 3). The market prices of daily essential foods have skyrocketed due to government’s ineffective control mechanism in place. It is even heard and read that the government employees and political cadres are found to be heavily involved in black marketing (“Govt leaders, agitating parties into smuggling” THT, 12 January, Page 3.

Khanal has directly accused the Oli led government of failing to properly maintain law and order situation in the country. The government has not been able to sort out the political and constitutional problem with the agitating forces during the last three months and does not also seem serious in resolving it in near future looking at the irresponsible behaviour of government’s talk team members. It seems that the ruling parties are trying to weaken the ongoing Madhes unrest by prolonging the dialogue with Sanyukta Loktantric Madhes Morcha (SLMM) which could be harmful to both the country and its people. Responsible ministers and leaders are found to be talking about the demarcation of provinces in their own ways creating confusions and ambiguousness of government’s talk team’s role (“Pledge to keep Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari intact” THT, 12 January, Page 3).

However, it was encouraging to know from Prime Minister KP Oli that the Tarai problem is moving ahead towards solution (“Tarai problem heading towards solution: Oli” THT, 12 January, Page 2). If he and representatives of his talk team are serious in resolving the ongoing Tarai problem soon, they should not be trying to buy the time of SLMM talk team by not showing up in the scheduled meetings. It is known to everybody that until the Mashes unrest is resolved, smooth supply of fuel and other essential goods cannot be ensured causing further hardship to the people and economically pushing the country towards bankruptcy.

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously

  Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously The people are tired of politicians who make wonderful promises but have miserably failed to fulfill their rosy promises. As a result, they seem to be gradually losing their credibility by days. However, having said that, the level of political awareness among the majority number of the people is still low which has been the advantage for the politicians to lure them towards their irresponsible and dirty politics. In the recent past weeks, we saw thousands of innocent people out in the streets to cheer up the so-called senior leaders who have miserably failed to lead the nation. We can see now the senior leaders and their parties are busy in forming another coalition government following the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the unification of NCP a few days ago thus splitting the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist. It was, in fact, a huge legal blow to them. This situation has created another political chaos in the country which might in...
