Kudos to Mahesh

I was amazed to read the news report “Basnet moots idea of change of guard in CPN-UML” (THT, 26 March, Page 6) with regard to the performance of his party leadership. Mahesh Basnet has shown his guts to publicly suggest, at a time when the UML is all geared up to participate in the upcoming CA election, changing the guard of his mother party UML. He has mentioned that his party has already seen the leadership of Nepal and Khanal. Now, the time has come for UML, as he claimed, to go for CA polls under the leadership of K.P.Oli who, he thinks, is the most popular and liked UML leader.

I think the time has come for other major political parties’ youth leaders also to show such guts and start raising similar voices in order to give New Nepal a chance to see competent and dynamic leaders rather than putting forward the same old faces in the upcoming election. We have seen the irresponsible political acts of all the old leaders who deceived the people and completely failed to give true leadership to the country. They were completely engaged in self centered power politics undermining the peoples mandated tasks during the last five years.

The political, social and economic situation of the country has gone bad to worst during this transitional phase because of the irresponsible and insensible acts of these incompetent so called senior leaders. They even failed to form a consensus government of among the political parties and had to ask CJ to lead the election government. What a shame? This was the result of their self cantered power politics.  However, it is yet to se whether the CA election will be held in June.
