तराईमा मधेस र थारुवान गरी दुई राज्य हुन सक्छन



तराईमा मधेस र थारुवान गरी दुई राज्य हुन सक्छन्

७५ िजल्ला कायम राख्दै चार भौगोिलक राज्य कोशी, गण्डकी, कर्णाली र तराई स्थापना गर्ने भनेर मैले भन्दै अाएको छु। तर नेपाली जनताले माअोवादी पार्टीलाई िदएको ठुलो मात्राको मत देख्दा त्यस बारे िवचार गर्नु पर्ने मैले बुझेको छु।

अब मेरो प्रस्ताव यस प्रकारको छ। ७५ िजल्ला कायम राख्ने र अाठ राज्यको स्थापना गर्ने: खसान, मगरात, तम्बुवान, तामाङ, नेवा, िकरात, थारुवान, र मधेस।

राप्ती नदीभन्दा पश्िचम मधेसी पार्टीहरूले बाँकेमा दुई सीट िजतेको देिखयो फोरमले। अाफ्नो मास बेस नै नभएको क्षेत्रमा पिन अाफ्नै नक्शा लाद्ने प्रयास शायद उपयुक्त नहोला। बरू राप्ती पुर्वका सबै तराई िजल्लाहरू िमलाएर एउटै समग्र मधेस राज्यको स्थापना बढी उपयुक्त होला िक?

मुख्य झगडा नक्शाको होइन, मुख्य झगडा शक्ित बाँडफाँडको हो। राष्ट्रपितको प्रत्यक्ष िनर्वाचन हुन्छ िक हुँदैन? उपल्लो सदनकालािग दलीय पुर्ण समानुपाितक िनर्वाचन हुन्छ िक हुँदैन? तल्लो सदनकालािग ७५ िजल्लालाई ७५ बहुसदस्यीय िनर्वाचन क्षेत्र (पाँच बुँदा, पाँच चुनाव) बनाइन्छ िक बनाइँदैन? नेपाल सेनामा मधेसी समुदायको समानुपाितक प्रितिनिधत्व हुन्छ िक हुँदैन? अडान िलनुपर्ने कुराहरू ती हुन्।

सरकारमा जाने िक नजाने

ंमधेस राज्यको स्थापना गर्न त दुई वर्ष लाग्छ। मधेस राज्यको स्थापना नभएसम्म सरकारमा नजाने अडान उिचत हुँदैन। सर्वदलीय सरकार बनाउने प्रयासमा तीन वटै मधेसी पार्टी सहभागी हुनु उिचत हुनेछ।

काँग्रेसले राष्ट्रपित खाला, माअोवादीले प्रधानमन्त्री पद खाला, एमालेले सभामुख, फोरमले उपसभामुख िलनुपर्ने हुन्छ। किरमा बेगमको नाम म िसफािरस गर्न चाहुँला।

तीन पहाडी पार्टी र तीन मधेसी पार्टी िमलेर सरकार बनाउँदामा हुन्छ िक? छ पार्टी सरकार। प्रत्येक पार्टीको अध्यक्दष सदस्य रहेको एउटा कर्िडनेशन किमिट बनाउनुपर्ने हुन्छ सरकार चलाउनकालािग। फोरमले गृह, रक्षा, अर्थ, िवदेश र अर्थ मध्ये एक िलनुपर्छ।

सडक तताउने राजनीित चुनाव अगािड हो। अब त संिवधान सभाको अंकगिणत तताउने बेला अाएको छ।

In The News

Forum in Maostan Nepali Times The Madhes has voted for Madhesis. For the first time, Madhesis, across party lines, are finding proportional political representation and the consequent access to power and opportunities. This is true not only for the eastern tarai, but also Banke, Nawalparasi, Kapilbastu and Rupandehi. .... A historical injustice is being corrected in a democratic framework. The Koiralas, Aryals, Acharyas, Amatyas, Nepals Dhunganas and Mallas fought in Madhes constituencies and bit dust. ....... Despite being discredited and isolated, facing physical insecurity, and playing dangerous games with multiple power centres over the past year, Upendra Yadav has bounced back. ....... The Tharus in the west and Rajbanshis in the east have voted Maoist. ..... There is back-channel effort underway to get the Maoists and the MJF to forget Lahan and Gaur and work together. ..... Sections in the MJF are thrilled at the idea of joining the government ..... The Maoist government, prodded by a conservative bureaucracy, will not find it easy to include Madhesis in proportionate numbers in state structures ...... The Maoist support base among Tarai janjatis means it will stick to its proposed federal model, the MJF will insist on ‘samagra Madhes’.The Maoists will have to push for some land reform to deliver to its constituency, the MJF and other Madhesi forces will become the vehicle for resistance and backlash. ..... The armed groups will keep quiet for a while, but may pounce as soon as they sense Madhesi parties are on the defensive. .... the Maoists would do well to counter possible identity chauvinism and militancy by reaching out to all Madhesi forces, and constantly engaging with them on common issues.

Are The Maoists Anti-Madhesi?



Maoist eager to work with MJF: Dr Bhattarai his party was ready to join hands with the one-time archrival of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) in forming a new coalition government. ..... his party would also like to work with other Terai based parties like Terai-Madhesh Loktantrik Party and Sadbhawana Party. ...... Bhattarai denied the foremost demand of the Terai parties for a single Madhes province in a federal Nepal. .... MJF has emerged as the biggest regional party

I am okay with either of the two maps above when it comes to federalism. But the real issue is not how you draw the map for federalism. The real issue is to make sure the one person, one vote principle is adhered to when it is time to decide on the power distribution between the center and the states. That will be the tricky part. The devil is in that detail.

The first map is a slight modification of the original Maoist map that had nine states. I have modified that to create a Khasan. But that first map goes for ethnic federalism. And I think that can get problematic. The second map goes for geographic federalism. I think the second map is better if you have rapid economic growth in mind for this poor country.

The question is, do you or do you not keep the 75 districts? I think it will be a bureaucratic nightmare to get rid of the 75 districts. That is a huge reason to stick to my proposal of four states, and 75 districts.

Almost half the people in the Terai are non Madhesi. Making all of Terai as one state should not be problematic. It would make great economic sense.

But then when the Maoists deny the idea of all of Terai as one state, and in the same breath go on to deny the idea of proportional representation of the Madhesis in the future Nepal Army, then you have to get suspicious of them. Those are anti-Madhesi sentiments. If you end up with a Pahadi army at the end of the peace process, that will not have been a peace process at all.

Madhesi Movement: Next Moves

As for the power distribution between the center and the states, I have talked about it here before.

पाँच बुँदा, पाँच चुनाव

My worst fear is that the Pahadis might create two states in the Terai and five or more states in the hills and then say each state should get 10 seats each in the Upper House. After that the Madhesh will be permanently colonized. Better a separate country than such a federalism.

The power distribution between the center and the states has to be based on the one person one vote principle.

Non Maoist Government Possible, All Party Government Advisable



The Maoists will end up with 240 out of 601 seats in the constituent assembly, looks like. That is nowhere close to a majority. If all the non Maoist forces were to come together, the Maoists will be the largest but a minority presence in the assembly.

Technically speaking a non Maoist government is still possible. Politically it might be desirable that all the other parties decided they are sick and tired of the muscle politics of the Maoists.

Morally it is not advisable. The largest party should have some say. But then after Rajiv Gandhi's Congress lost in 1989, it was still the largest party, but it did not get a majority, and so it stayed out.

Practically speaking what would be best would be to form an all party government with the largest party leading. That way the Maoists don't end up with all the plum portfolios. Maoists might get Defense, the NC might get Home, the UML might get Foreign, the MJF might get Finance.

Such an all party government will be a better way to check Maoist excesses than to sit outside and watch. Imagine how much worse the YCL will behave if the Maoists have both Home and Defense. Then they will behave worse at the polls two years from now. They might bring forth another Maoist sweep. Then what? You will wait four years?

The country gets declared a federal republic on day one. Then the assembly could vote to establish an executive presidency, or that could wait and for the time being we might end up with an executive prime minister and a ceremonial president.

If it is to be an all party government, the non Maoist parties get to argue, either the Maoists get the ceremonial presidency, or the executive prime ministership, but not both.

Best would be for the second largest party to get the ceremonial presidency. I recommend Chitralekha Yadav's name. She represents a few different marginalized groups. Then either Baburam or Prachanda get to be Prime Minister. The third largest party, the UML, gets the Speakership. The fourth largest party, the MJF, gets the Deputy Speakership.

Then the country can opt for an executive president in the new constitution.

If you try to form a non Maoist government, work on the new constitution will become hard. If you stay away from forming an all party government, that will be like giving the Maoists a blank check. Their behavior at the grassroots will get worse. So join and secure the Home Ministry for either the NC or the UML.

Ceremonial President: Chitralekha Yadav
Executive Prime Minister: Prachanda/Baburam
Speaker: Subash Nembang
Deputy Speaker: Karima Begam
Defense: Maoist
Home: NC
Foreign: UML
Finance: MJF

Form an all party steering committee. We don't want a Prime Minister like Girija making decisions on whim. All the party presidents are members.

Coalition Government, But Which Coalition Partners


If the NC and the UML stay away, all the rest will have to come together to cross the 50% mark. It might end up a Maoist and Madhesi Alliance government. Or it might end up a minority government by the Maoists propped up by the rest. The non Maoist parties might go for that to have a better shot at the parliamentary elections when they are held in about two years.

I would urge the Madhesi Alliance to not fall for that logic. Joining the government would be the best way to:
  1. Ensure a Madhesh state.
  2. Hold respectful peace talks with the armed Madhesi groups.
  3. Do good work on the constitution.
  4. Send the message out to the Madhesi masses that power is possible.
  5. Do work on census and citizenship.

Interview With Baburam Bhattarai Kantipur Dr Baburam Bhattarai has emerged as the real leader of this country after the Constituent Assembly (CA) polls. ..... He thinks the Maoists have now taken upon their shoulders a greater responsibility, that of restructuring the country and steering it onto the track of economic prosperity. ...... He argues that the CPN (Maoist) has changed the country’s ground realities. ...... All the political parties that have participated in the CA polls will join the government. ..... Our intention is to establish a presidential system. ...... We must reach a political consensus because the constitution would need to be amended to set up a presidential system. ...... The first sitting of the CA will declare this country a federal republic. ........ other political commitments such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, rehabilitation of displaced persons and revamping and integration of the security forces. ...... The media and the elite missed the picture. As a result, the CA results surprised many. ........ we have achieved more than what we expected to. ....... I personally visited 22 districts and assessed the situation three weeks before the CA polls. I could foresee a massive wave rising in our support. Unfortunately, the media saw things the opposite way. ....... It may take at least 10-15 years ..... We cannot think of rapid economic growth sans political stability. ..... During this interim period, it would be difficult to think of economic prosperity. We can only think of economic growth in the post-CA period. ...... we need external support for technology and skills. We need foreign investments ....... China eliminated the feudal system during Mao’s regime. It established a solid foundation for economic growth. ....... When you inject new technology after the foundation for economic growth has been established, you can achieve such development. We don’t have such a foundation now. Once we restructure the state and involve the private sector, it will be possible to achieve rapid economic growth. ....... We can’t think of developing this country in the absence of domestic and foreign investments. ....... we recognize the legitimacy of management and the participation of labor in management. ...... We don’t want to encourage assembly industries. Business activities should raise productivity and generate employment. ...... The state will play the role of facilitator. The state cannot intervene in business activities. It will encourage investors to raise productivity and generate employment opportunities. ...... We have to, at all costs, restructure the bureaucracy and the judiciary as they have always been tools of the monarchy. ....... We want to reform the bureaucracy and other sectors in a democratic manner. ...... The strength of the security forces after the two are combined would be roughly over 100,000. ...... Now the CPN (Maoist) has established itself as a communist party. We welcome committed communist cadres of the CPN-UML to our party. ....... The king has to quit Narayanhiti Palace immediately after we declare Nepal a republic.

Maoists leading in PR count also; UML stands second NepalNews garnering 37.42 percent votes. ..... the Maoists have got 732648 votes while the CPN (UML) stands second with 546368 votes (27.9 percent). The Nepali Congress is trailing behind the UML with 525942 votes (26.86 percent). ..... Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF), which has emerged as a major regional party in Terai with 22 seats under the first-past-the-post election, has managed to get 86903 votes (4.44 percent) while Rastriaya Pratantra Party (RPP) has got 66165 PR votes (3.38 percent). ..... the parties will need about 31,000 votes for a single seat.
NA ready to obey orders of elected govt The army representative in Joint Monitoring Coordination Committee (JMCC) Shiva Pradhan is learnt to have said so during the meeting of the JMCC held Tuesday in the capital.
NC mulling over whether to stay in the government or not instead of the party remaining in the government, it would from now on give more preference to help draft a "democratic constitution" and take the ongoing peace process into its "logical conclusion". ...... said that the party suffered a humiliating defeat in Morang as the "people voted mainly on the basis of ethnicity". ... Though its traditional stronghold, NC emerged victorious in only one of the nine constituencies up for grabs in Morang. The rest were shared by CPN-Maoist and MJF.
NC gen secy-duo Nidhi, Yadav win election from Dhanusha giving a sense of relief to the party that has seen many of its senior leaders fall flat in the election fray. ....

Maoists poised to take power in Nepal International Herald Tribune, France voters had chosen to remove most of their veteran politicians from office and seek a radical break with the past. ..... a Maoist landslide, which would defy predictions ... Another party new to electoral politics, an ethnic Madhesi party from the southern plains, which also emerged from armed rebellion demanding greater autonomy, picked up 15 seats. ..... they have no intention of hindering private investment or nationalizing property ..... a young, desperately poor country that had not had elections in nine years
Maoists take big lead in Nepal elections Los Angeles Times Defying nearly everyone's expectations but their own ..... The partial results have confounded analysts, most of whom had predicted before last Thursday's vote that the Maoists would come in third. But without any proper polling data available ...... Many observers still believe that the Maoists, who laid down their arms in November 2006 after a decade of bloody guerrilla war, will find it hard to land an outright majority in the new 601-member constituent Assembly. ...... Throughout the campaign, confident claims by the Maoists' leader, who goes by the nom de guerre Prachanda, that his party would sweep the election were dismissed by commentators as mere bravado. ..... Explanations are flying as to why the Maoists have performed so well....... "People were simply fed up with these parties," said C.K. Lal, a columnist for the Nepali Times. "They lost touch on the ground. The Maoists promised a new kind of politics. The older parties were portrayed as corrupt, people indulging in deal politics, the elite sitting in a room, forming a deal and thrusting it upon the people. The Maoists said, 'No, what we do we'll do in the open.' " ..... during its 10-year-long "People's War," the group was internationally condemned for its vicious campaign of killings, torture and kidnappings. ..... a parade of dignitaries from the United Nations, European Union, India and other countries called on the Maoist leader to congratulate him ...... The Maoists are on record as wanting to establish a presidential system in Nepal, with Prachanda as president. ...... no longer supports nationalization of Nepal's industries and accepts the idea of foreign investment.

MK Nepal loses in Rautahat, too NepalNews defeated by Maoist candidate Devendra Patel
EC says repolling will be held in 106 centers
Dr. Shashank remains the sole torch-bearer of Koirala clan in CA polls Dr. Shashank Koirala, the youngest son of late NC leader BP Koirala, has won from Nawalparasi-1 constituency.

89:28:23 Nepali Times the mainstream parties as well as the newly-formed Madhesi parties haven't done well at all ..... but said it could be because his party hadn't "gone to the people". ..... Nepal said his party will not take part in the new government. ...... Baburam Bhattarai told the Kathmandu Post in an interview published on Monday that his party would lead the next government, but ministerial portfolio would be distributed among the other parties based on their showing in the lections.

CPN-M's winning streak continues NepalNews Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) has emerged as a strong political force in Terai, winning 17 seats. ...... the Maoists are leading in five constituencies, including three in Rautahat district, while the NC, UML and MJF are leading in four constituencies each. ...... counting of proportional votes has also begun in 110 constituencies where results of direct election have been declared
Repolling concludes in Saptari, Chitwan and Sarlahi Saptari constituency 1, Chitwan constituency-5 and Sarlahi constituency-5. .... The voter turnout is said to be encouraging
'Most wanted criminal' wins election as independent candidate Baban Singh alias Mr. John, the prime suspect of the serial blasts in Kathmandu last September that killed three persons and left dozens others injured was declared winner in Rautahat-1, securing 9201 votes. He defeated his nearest rival, Ajay Gupta of Sadbhawana Party, by a margin of 2613 votes. ..... Baban, who was never seen in the public during election campaigning, used gimmicks that were probability never seen or heard before. His wife, daughters and some relatives did the campaigning for him, mostly asking the voters to give him a chance to correct himself and save him from being hanged to death for his crimes. ...... Posters showed him with folded hands, apparently pleading for 'mercy', with a noose lurching around his neck. "Hamara Ke Bachali" (Save Me) read the slogan on the poster. ...... He didn't show up in the victory rally after wining the election, fearing arrest.

Mahara for cooperation among parties after polls
Shock and awe Prashant Jha The Maoist landslide is a wake-up call to the Kathmandu media. Many thought the former rebels would be a distant third, with 15-20 seats in FPTP. Some argued that the Maoists would do better than the capital's conventional wisdom suggested, giving them about 30-40 seats. ...... To be fair, this has taken even the Maoists by surprise. Why did all of us get it so wrong? ..... the Kathmandu opinion-formers have been insular and disconnected from what is happening in the rest of the country ...... The Maoists had run a parallel state for ten years. They have the best organisation, and the most committed cadre which has been hard at work. ....... a possibility of the Deuba faction emerging stronger. ..... Lila Koirala in Janakpur, Mahesh Acharya and Shekhar Koirala in Morang, and Chakra Prasad Bastola in Jhapa voted out ...... The UML, particularly its top leadership, has been routed. ....... The Tarai results are only slowly trickling in, and it is difficult to interpret the Madhesi mandate so soon. The Maoists have done well in the pahadi pockets of Tarai. Smart selection of candidates, getting caste calculations right, and engaging constantly with the Dalit votebank has helped the rebels win some Madhesi seats as well. But the Madhesi parties, especially the MJF has taken the largest share. Brand recognition of the 'Forum', a relatively better organisation than TMLP and SP, established faces, support of Yadavs and Tharus in many constituencies in eastern Tarai helped Upendra Yadav's men. ..... With all three Madhesi parties already winning 20 seats, it is likely they will end up with more than 50-60 seats once the PR tally starts coming in. ..... India is in panic mode. From a policy high of seeing successful elections on the evening of April 10, New Delhi was 'depressed' the next day. Completely taken aback, the diplomats are in a tizzy. ...... Baburam Bhattarai, possibly in the running for the next PM
