  The Himalayan Times 31 March 2022 Stop deceiving voters Starting an opinion with a negative connotation about our political parties and their leaders may not sound good and palatable, but I think, it is my responsibility, as a citizen journalist, to present the ground reality about the effect of false promises made by the them during the elections and complete failure of fulfilling such promises by their respective governments in the past. I have nothing against political parties having their own political principles and philosophies. However, the way they make rosy and false promises to their voters during the elections should now stop instead become sincere in putting forward relevant, realistic and doable political manifestos and implement them accordingly. Having said these, it remains to be seen how the major political parties put forward their political manifestos for the upcoming local level election which is just one and half months away. As compared to the previo...

  The Himalayan Times 24 March 2022 Ensure voting rights Following the promulgation of constitution in 2072 B.S, three tyres of elections were held to elect people’s representatives for the local, provincial and federal levels of governments under the federal structures. People had enthusiastically participated at all the election level with high hopes of seeing political stability in the country and ultimately a peaceful and prosperous country. Now, the people seem to be losing hope of seeing a stable government and prosperous nation after the almost two-thirds majority government of the then Nepal Communist Party could not complete its five-year term owing to its internal political feud and self-centred politics of the senior leaders. The second general elections of the local level governments are scheduled to take place on May 13 of this year. Major parties, especially the coalition partners of the Deuba-led government, have started looking around for options to get thei...

  The Himalayan Times 17 March 2022 Unhealthy criticism It is not unusual to see leaders of different political parties blaming each other to attract voters towards their side when the date for the local level elections starts approaching nearer. They leave no stone unturned to expose all the dark political activities of their rival leaders during their election campaigns. They do not care about their own moral responsibility to behave wisely and respect the election code of conduct. Rather, they start behaving as if only they are sincere, committed and nationalists, making false promises to the voters to make the nation prosperous and relieve them of their difficulties and hardships. The government has recently announced May 13 for the local level elections in a single phase as per the recommendation of the Election Commission (EC). The major political parties have started preparing their political strategies for it. The five-party coalition partners of the Deuba-led governm...

  The Himalayan Times 3March 2022 All praise for Deuba The long-time drama being played on Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), Nepal Compact has finally ended with the coalition government ratifying it with the presentation of a 12-point-interpretative declaration two days ago. The frequent House disruption by the UML and regular street protests of the fringe parties did not stop the Deuab-led government to move forward towards making the nation a semi-colonial state, as opined and claimed by fringe parties and some constitutional experts. The coming months and years will show the real impact of the MCC deal. PM Deuba seemed to have cleverly played his cards at the final moment by showing his trump-card to Prachanda and Madhav Nepal, threatening them to break up the coalition government should they object to the MCC deal in the House “Mahat all praise for Deuba” (THT, March 1. Page 2). It seemed that ratification of the MCC Nepal Compact by the House by any means was hi...
