It seems that politicians in our Shark region want to hang on to power until they drop dead. Our netas never retire until the day they leave Earth for hell. Our national top comedian, Konfused Pampered Oli does not want to resign even when he knows that he does not have the numbers to continue to lead the government. After all, a week more and you can dole out millions of rupees from the state treasury to you near and dear ones with utter disregard for the law. And you can transfer your chamchas to lucrative postings before the other guys show up and do their thing.

Our very own ‘Google Boy’ gets 10 million rupees for his foundation. It would have been better if we had approached the real ‘Google’ folks to make our golden child their brand ambassador or something instead of wasting our taxpayers’ money.

KP Oli has done his part. He came, he saw all the problems in this land and conquered our hearts with silly jokes and shared his dreams with us which will probably come true, not from the current leadership but from the next generation of leaders. We hope we will have good honest folks leading this country in the next 10 years when most of our current batches of thieves go to hell.

The United Mundrey Leaders (UML) and their partners didn’t do much for the country. We had the blockade and those who led the banda programmes are now partners in the so-called new coalition that is itching to take over the government and loot some more. Our Maoist ministers didn’t do much. I don’t know if they are for the people or they just want to continue to rip off the people like all other mantris who have sat on the kurchis.

Now, it’s the Maoist, our Morons and the Madhesi Morcha who plan to stick together like the 3M sticky pads for now so that they can share the ministries and make some moolah. After all, our political parties do come together only when they get to share the loot and for everything else, they just agree to disagree and waste billions of rupees on salaries and perks for our clowns. Dhir Shumsher uncle had 17 sons and the band of brothers enjoyed the loot. Now we have 17 corrupt traitors who lead our political parties and they continue to enjoy the loot. The players have changed but the greed remains the same.

So will things be different when our Emperor becomes our Prime Monster? Nope! According to the new ‘master plan’, our Emperor will become our man in Baluwatar for nine months and then King Deuba will take charge for another nine. I hope our Emperor does leave after his agreement and let Deuba loot some more. But Nepali politics is just another game among the pickpockets. We never know when they will patch up, break up or join hands with another team to just stay in power. 

Our morons are expected to get 12 ministries. Our Maoists will get eight and then we have the Madhesi Morcha and other fellow minnows that will get a few so that they too can enjoy the lollipop of power. And what does a new mantri do when he or she goes to the office on the first day? He/she will ask the Government Secretary to find ways to make some money because the mother party needs to make some dough and he/she needs to make some and then there are near and dear ones who need the chiya kharcha and sarkari jagir as well.

So, the first hundred days will not be spent studying the problems faced by the country and the people. Instead, there will be numerous brainstorming sessions on how to dole out contracts to con artists, lucrative postings for civil servants and grants to cadres. Yes, everyone gets a piece of the pie except the common folks!

Our political parties have signed so many agreements with each other that it’s hard to keep tab on all of it. They never sign agreements to develop the hydro-power, tourism and our agricultural sector. Instead, we import electricity from India at a higher price. And we continue to have load shedding even though our political parties continue to make a fool of themselves by promising us 10,000 MW of electricity in the next decade. 

We could make billions of dollars from tourism but our government is not interested to help our tourism entrepreneurs or build the needed infrastructure across the country. Every year landslides affect our major highways and yet our incompetent government is still not interested to provide adequate resources to minimise such obstructions.

Our political parties never sign agreements to stop bandas and vandalism of public property. Recently a school bus in the city was torched. We all know who did it except our government. I guess our police wallahs should be given the authority to at least protect the public from such incidents. Just killing a few dons will not help to get rid of all the social ills in this land.

Our police wallahs should not just act as mute spectators when savages burn down school buses and threaten the lives of our school children. Don’t just save your bullets to kill another Chari or Ghaitey. Use your bullets to protect this land from so-called political cadres who continue to traumatise our kids and make our lives miserable with their banda nataks and violence.
