Madhav Nepal Would Be A Great Choice

In The News

Dahal dubs videotape scandal a ploy against peace process; claims Maoist military strength to be much higher NepalNews
'UML set to pick Nepal as coalition leader' CPN (UML) is set to choose Madhav Kumar Nepal as the leader of the next coalition that will form the government ...... "Madhav Kumar Nepal has the ability to bring together different parties. UML is going to pick him unanimously [as the leader of the next coalition]," said Bidhya Devi Bhandari, UML vice-chairperson. She added that two UML leaders - chairman Jhala Nath Khanal and K.P Sharma Oli - are eligible for the post of Prime Minister. ......... a government of national consensus would be formed under the UML's leadership. ....... Unified CPN (Maoist), is showing undemocratic behavior by obstructing the parliament.
Madheshi parties call for consensus govt A joint meeting of Madheshi Janadhikar Forum, Terai-Madhesh Loktantrik Party and Sadbhawana Party organised at Singha Durbar, Wednesday decided to stand by a government of national consensus that could address the needs of the people of Madhesh. ..... The parties will support a party which shows commitment towards fulfilling the agreement of February 28, 2008 with the Madheshi community, MJF vice chairman JP Gupta said. ...... The meeting was organised soon after MJF chairman Upendra Yadav returned form his foreign tour.
Envoys meet PM Dahal, Khanal PM Dahal expressed his commitment to peace process and national consensus, mentioning that he resigned from his post to protect civil supremacy.
PM Dahal holds fence-mending meeting with Khanal In his first political meeting after resignation as Prime Minister, Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal met CPN (UML) chairman Jhala Nath Khanal at the latter's residence in Chhauni Wednesday morning. ..... Khanal said formation of "national consensus government" and constitution-making process were discussed ..... "I found him somewhat agitated and at the same time he expressed his disappointment." ...... Dahal told reporters after the meeting that they agreed to continue the politics of cooperation and consensus not to let the peace process derail. ..... Khanal informed journalists quoting PM Dahal that obstruction in the House would continue until the President admits his mistake and revokes the decision against government action against the army chief. Khanal said that he informed the PM about threats issued by the Maoists in various districts including Ramechhap and Kailali.
Govt formation within deadline unlikely The humiliation of having to resign from the government still afresh in their minds, Maoist leaders and cadres have started taking vengeance against their NC and UML counterparts. ...... Maoists rank and file has been pressurising the party leadership to rather stay in opposition than erode their public image by not being able to implement their policies when in the government. ..... the party will not easily accept to lead the government again even if offered, let alone joining the government under other parties. ....... The NC has agreed to form new government under the leadership of UML. However, these two parties do not have enough seats in the parliament to get a majority. They will be able to form the government only if Madheshi Janadhikar Forum and a few fringe parties support them. ....... Having understood their importance well, the MJF chairman has already put forward conditions to the UML-NC alliance. ....... MJF has covertly expressed interest to lead the future coalition. “It’s a different matter if we get (the post of) Prime Minister, otherwise we don’t need to jeopardize our vote bank by the digressing from our ideological stance,” a close confidant of MJF chairman Yadav quoted the latter as saying. .......... MJF leaders have accused Congress and UML of not having a strong vision about solutions to problems faced by people in Madhesh. The ‘ideological stance’, MJF chairman is indicating is none other than its alliance with the Maoists which the MJF thinks has a better strategy to win the hearts of people in the Terai than NC and UML. ..... The NC and UML’s unofficial proposal to make Madhav Kumar Nepal, the new Prime Minister of Nepal is not likely to materialise simply because of inadequate support on their side. Given the circumstances, MJF chairman Upendra Yadav looks like the most probable candidate to lead the government. The strongest reason behind this is the latent support of the powerful players, Yadav has behind him. ...... speculation is that Indian establishment, which has undeclared but strong influences in the formation and dissolution of governments in Nepal, is also likely to support Yadav as the future Prime Minister
House session obstructed, postponed for Sunday
India stresses on consensus to end ongoing crisis in Nepal, denies hand in toppling Maoist-led govt

Yadav stresses for consensus among political parties Chairman of the Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum Upendra Yadav has called for consensus and cooperation among all political parties while forming the new government to give a way out of the current turmoil. Talking to media persons upon his arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Yadav said his party is not in a position to claim the leadership of new government. Yadav said his party will make efforts to build consensus among the parties, adding that his party will support whoever can gather majority to form government. MJF has called its parliamentary party meeting after Yadav’s arrival. The party is also scheduled to hold talks with other Terai based parties – Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party and Sadbhawana Party to bring out a common voice on Terai issues.
President Yadav's fate to be similar to Gyanendra if he doesn't rectify his move: Bhattarai He also claimed that there is less possibility of the new government being formed anytime soon because the Maoists have already intensified their street protest and struggle in the parliament against the President's move.

Prime Minister Upendra Yadav?

• Lesson For Maoists: Rule Of Law
• Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal

There were two victors in the April 10, 2008 elections: the Maoists, and the MJF. And the MJF is the only political party in the country with a track record of having successfully countered the Maoists.

There is no compromising the rule of law. The Maoists do not get to enage in muscle power. They do not get to engage in a rein of terror.

In The News

Video shows Dahal admitting real strength of PLA not more than 8,000; sharing plans to control army and capture state NepalNews the video which the channel claimed was from January 2, 2008 when the Maoists were an important constituent of the Girija Prasad Koirala led interim government ....... "We were (PLA's strength) somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000. If we had reported the correct figure of the PLA, then it would then have been reduced to around 4,000."......... "But our party's leadership decided to report PLA strength as 35,000, and thanks to it the PLA's strength is now 20,000 at least," he said smilingly, evoking peels of laughter around him.........."So our strength has actually increased. You and I know the truth, but why should we tell it to others." ...... apart from the PLA, which he said is now already a "regular army", the party has also formed YCL comprising thousands of youths despite various difficulties and "who now add to our strength". ....... The Maoist chairman also revealed that a significant share of the money that will go to "our martyrs" in villages throughout the country and the PLA in cantonments will be used by the party to prepare for revolt and ultimately capture the state. ...... "You all know that if we have enough money in our hands we can prepare a good battle plan. So, the party needs a good amount of money for the revolt," he said...... though the party may appear to have again reached a compromise (with the state and political parties), "but if you look deeply then you will know how seriously the party is preparing for the ultimate revolt". ..... Claiming that PLA combatants are "politically aware", he said even a small number of their entry into NA is enough to establish complete Maoist control over the army.

ग्रीन कार्ड भनेको भिसा जस्तो हो

उपेन्द्र यादव विदेश मन्त्री भएको बेलामा मधेसी पार्टीहरूले एक भएर अमेरिकाकालागि नेपाली राजदुत भनेर सुकदेव साहको नाम सिफारिस गरे। सुकदेव साहको नाम पहाडीहरूलाई बाँदरको हातमा नरिवल भएको छ। मान्छेलाई disqualified भन्न भएन। सुकदेव साहभन्दा qualified मान्छे नेपालमा छँदै छैन। अनि कोहीलाई के सुर्ता ज्वाईलाई खानैको सुर्ता भने जस्तो सुकदेव साहसँग त ग्रीन कार्ड छ भनेर they have started running up and down the street, बाहुनले च्याउ खाअोस् न स्वाद पाअोस् भने जस्तो।

सुकदेव साहसँग ग्रीन कार्ड छ कि छैन मलाई थाहा छैन। पहिले पनि थाहा थिएन, अहिले पनि थाहा छैन। यदि छ भने मलाई पनि चाहियो। ग्रीन कार्ड नभएको मान्छे अमेरिका अाउन भिसा चाहिन्छ। ग्रीन कार्ड छ भने भिसा चाहिँदैन। त्यो त राम्रो कुरा हो।

मेरो पनि थियो ग्रीन कार्ड। नेपालको क्रान्तिमा full time लाग्दा त्यो ग्रीन कार्ड renew गराउनुपर्ने, बिर्सियो। अब फेरि लिनपर्नेछ। अप्रिल क्रान्ति अगाडि त मेरो नाकमा चश्मा पनि थिएन। मेरो नाकमाथि चश्मा अप्रिल क्रान्तिले राखेको हो।

मधेसीलाई भारतीय भन्ने पहाडीहरूको पुरानो बानी हो। अब मधेसीलाई अमेरीकन पनि भन्दिने? के हो यो? नया फेशन हो?

सुकदेव साहसँग नेपाली नागिरकता छ। बरू त्यो नागरिकतापत्र वहाँले कसरी पाउनुभो, मलाई जिग्यासा लागेको छ। नेपाल भनेको त मधेसीलाई हत्तपत्त नागरिकतापत्र नदिने देश।

कोही मधेसी भारत, अथवा अमेरिका, अथवा बेलायतको राजदुत हुनु त ठुलो कुरो हो। It is called breaking a glass ceiling। नेपालको वाशिँगटनमा रहेको दुतावासमा एउटा पियन पनि मधेसी छैन। अनि ह्वात्त राजदुत नै मधेसी भएदिएपछि त पहाडीहरूलाई अापत पर्यो।

अाज कोही मधेसी अमेरिकामा राजदुत भयो भने भोलि देशको प्रधानमन्त्री होला, पर्सि कोही Commander In Chief बन्ला भन्ने डर लागिहाल्यो पहाडीहरूलाई।

सुकदेव साह qualified मान्छे हो। सुकदेव साह नेपाली नागिरक हो। सुकदेव साह नेपालको विदेश मन्त्रीले पत्याएको मान्छे हो। त्योभन्दा बढी के चाहियो राजदुत बन्न?

पुरे देशको प्यारालाइज कर दो
िगिरजाको कुर्सी से हटा दो, सेरेमोिनयल बना दो
अगर सडक पर िफर से उतडनी पडी तो
चुनावी जंग
िवजयकी सुगन्ध अा रही है
समानता अौर अिधकार पर्याप्त नहीं हैं, हमें तो शक्ित चािहए
माघे क्रान्ित
डटे रहो
शान्ित वार्ता क्या, िवजय घोषणा करो
मधेश जल रही है
