Step 1: Form a non political government of technocrats to hold elections to a new constituent assembly. Amend all laws necessary to that effect. None of the political parties would participate in such a government.

Step 2: Give that assembly six months to come up with a new constitution.

Step 3: Turn that assembly into a parliament that would serve for three and a half more years.

Step 4: Within a year of the assembly coming into shape, hold elections for a new president. The president would be directly elected by all peoples of Nepal.

Step 5: Within a year of the assembly being turned into a parliament, hold elections for local bodies at the village/town/city level and at the state level to form state governments.

Upendra Mahato In Town


There was an event at Yak Friday evening. Upendra Mahato was in town with his family. He said this was his first vacation since before he launched his entrepreneurial career in 1989.

BP Koirala is the founder of the Nepali Congress. Upendra Mahato is the founder of the NRN Movement. What Laxmi Mittal is to Indians across the world Upendra Mahato is to the Nepalis across the world. To my saying that in my remarks Ratan Jha added, they even look alike.
