3225888	有图 <p>The 2024 Lok Sabha election marked an important moment revealing significant undercurrents shaping the contours of Indian politics. While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) remained the single largest party, its underwhelming performance against the expectations in the run-up to polls surprised political observers. Naturally, much of the analysis thus far has been to understand the factors that shaped the verdict. This special issue interrogates what the 2024 election tells us beyond the outcome: the shifting salience of social identities; the role of digital media in voter mobilisation and message control; the growing partisan polarisation in Indian politics; intensifying anxieties about the legitimacy of several key institutions; and the concerns over the evolving character of Indian democracy. By shifting the analytical lens from electoral outcomes to broader political dynamics, we suggest that the 2024 Lok Sabha election may be remembered less for who won and more for what it signalled about India’s future.</p>Publisher Page> <img src="https://cprindia.org/wp-content/themes/cpr/images/icon-pdf.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Guest Editors’ Introduction: What Does the 2024 National Election Reveal About India? - CPR	查看 1150	政策研究中心 (CPR)	2025-01-01 00:00:00 2025-08-01 04:40:05	word

MNRF targets many skin concerns, from wrinkles and sagging to scars and enlarged pores. With minimal downtime, long-lasting results, and proven safety even for darker skin tones, it quickly becomes a go-to solution for those seeking smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.</p><p>Dr Shreya Bastakoti is a consultant dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon. She is also co-founder and CEO of Lavana Skin and Hair Clinic, Kathmandu. She specialises in lasers, injectables, dermatosurgery, and hair restoration. Bastakoti explains how MNRF works and how aftercare is essential to ensure the best results. </p><p>What is MNRF treatment?</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>MNRF stands for Microneedling Radiofrequency, an advanced, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation technique that combines the mechanical action of microneedling with the thermal energy of radiofrequency (RF). This synergistic approach targets the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin to trigger collagen remodelling, elastin production, and skin tightening.</p><p>How is MNRF different from traditional microneedling or laser treatments?</p><p>Microneedling with Radiofrequency (MNRF) is a more advanced skincare treatment than traditional microneedling or many laser-based procedures. While traditional microneedling relies solely on creating micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and natural healing, MNRF takes this a step further. It combines the benefits of microneedling with the delivery of controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy directly into the deeper layers of the skin. This dual-action approach triggers surface-level skin regeneration and promotes more intense collagen synthesis and deeper tissue remodelling. As a result, patients experience firmer, tighter, and more lifted skin compared to what traditional microneedling alone can offer.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p> Say goodbye to scars and wrinkles with MNRF	查看 2479	加德满都邮报	2025-07-30 00:00:00 2025-08-01 04:38:12	word
3225885	有图 <p>Mohit Suri’s ‘Saiyaara’ is a 2025 Hindi film that attempts to rekindle the charm of classic Bollywood love stories while dabbling in themes of trauma, artistic revival, and emotional resilience. With fresh faces Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda in the lead roles, the film is unmistakably a Suri signature: laden with heartbreak, heavy music scores, melancholic visuals, and the familiar angelic woman heals broken man trope. Despite its obvious cliches and narrative inconsistencies, ‘Saiyaara’ manages to charm thanks to genuine performances and emotional resonance, even if it remains flawed when examined closely.</p><p>The film begins on a dramatic note. Vaani (Aneet Padda), a young woman, is devastated at the court when her fiancé (Shaan Grover) abandons her. This moment triggers a fainting spell and establishes the underlying trauma that shapes her arc. Months later, the story reorients to Krish (Ahaan Pandey), a passionate singer engaged in a heated argument with a journalist over proper crediting in his band, Josh. </p><p>Krish, the real talent behind the group, is overshadowed by the guitarist—a classic case of nepotism. This early scene sets a tone of dissatisfaction and injustice, giving the audience a glimpse into Krish’s emotionally charged journey. Vaani is also seen simultaneously, as she was there for a job interview at the same media company.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>A fateful convergence of circumstances draws both leads into a creative challenge to deliver songs under a tight deadline. Krish stumbles upon Vaani’s diary, filled with poetry, and transforms her words into songs. The two strike a deal: He uses her lyrics in exchange for helping her land the interview she missed. This marks the beginning of a creative partnership that evolves into something more personal.</p><p>Their collaboration, however, is not without friction. Krish’s impulsive and intense energy clashes with Vaani’s vulnerability and emotional caution. In one scene, Krish demands proper lyrics when they start working in a confined, dark space to simulate artistic immersion. Vaani, triggered by her past trauma, resists, leading to a powerful exchange about the authenticity of art. She argues that true music—songs that last across generations—cannot be forced or manufactured. Krish, initially dismissive, comes to understand her, and in a series of whimsical scenes, takes her out to various locations to reignite her creative spark. This light-hearted montage not only softens Krish’s brooding character but also lays the groundwork for a deeper emotional connection between the two.</p><p>As their bond grows, Vaani witnesses Krish’s turbulent relationship with his father, especially during a heartbreaking moment when a drunk and unconscious father is brought to Krish by the police. This experience makes Vaani see beyond Krish’s exterior and understand the pain that fuels his artistic ambitions. In return, she opens up about her own trauma, acknowledging how Krish has helped her heal and rediscover her voice.</p><p>Their professional collaboration soon gives way to romance, but not without complications. Vaani’s mother disapproves of Krish, fearing another heartbreak for her daughter. A particularly heavy-handed scene involves Vaani fainting again, after which her mother confronts Krish and questions his intentions. In an impulsive move, he proposes marriage, but Vaani, showing maturity and clarity, asks him to prioritise his now-reviving music career.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>At this point, the film introduces its most controversial and, arguably, weakest plot twist: Vaani is diagnosed with a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer’s. The condition is presented with little nuance: more a narrative convenience than a carefully handled portrayal of illness. Vaani begins to forget Krish, reverting emotionally to her past with her fiancé. </p><p>The condition conveniently flares up around dramatic encounters rather than realistically showcasing the day-to-day struggles of cognitive decline. The portrayal risks trivialising a very serious condition, using it as a tool for emotional manipulation rather than meaningful representation.</p><p>Krish accidentally discovers her diagnosis and, in the wake of her family’s emotional turmoil and conflicting opinions on care, Vaani is sent with Krish, ironically, the same man her mother initially deemed unworthy, to recover in a secluded location. The logic behind this decision is questionable. That Krish is entrusted with her care is an unsettling narrative leap. </p><p>One of the most frustrating plot developments is when Vaani disappears under Krish’s watch. Initially shown as getting lost due to her condition, it is later revealed she left of her own volition. This twist lacks credibility and undermines the seriousness of her illness. While Krish returns to his music, achieves stardom, and follows her old advice to pursue his dreams, it’s baffling that he never uses his fame to find her more aggressively. The narrative’s internal logic collapses here, making the climax feel rushed and unresolved.</p><p>Moreover, ‘Saiyaara’ stumbles in several other areas. For instance, the visual representation of Himachal Pradesh, used to evoke beauty and serenity, feels underwhelming and rushed. There’s little cinematographic justice done to the setting. The script repeatedly falls into clichéd Bollywood patterns: emotional fainting, over-simplified character arcs, and exaggerated family dynamics. The callback line ‘I still have a few moments left’ comes off as forced, a redundant attempt to create a signature line for the film that doesn’t quite land.</p> ‘Saiyaara’ is flawed but does most things right	查看 6128	加德满都邮报	2025-07-30 00:00:00 2025-08-01 04:38:12	word

3225883	有图 <p>Last year’s monsoon was devastating for Kavrepalanchok district’s Bethanchok Rural Municipality. Out of 78 people who died in floods and landslides in the district, 12 deaths were reported from Bethanchok alone. Due to the paucity of resources and aid, survivors are still forced to live in their crumbling homes; those whose houses were entirely swept away by the swollen Roshi River and landslides have not been able to rebuild. Meanwhile, quarrying mines—believed to be the primary cause of the devastation in the district—have already started operating. Given this, residents are now living with an impending double whammy of natural and human-induced disasters.</p><p>Bethanchok has three registered quarries and one crusher. But mining operators often disregard standard excavation practices. Earlier this month, there was a dry landslide at the Ganeshsthan Mineral Plant site in the rural municipality due to improper excavation. According to locals, the operators crushed the hillsides from below rather than from top to down, disregarding standard excavation practices. Though the landslide didn’t result in any human loss or property damage, the plant site is right next to a school, a health post, a ward office and houses, putting the entire community in danger. Moreover, the dust and debris from the mine still feed into the river, increasing the risk of flood even this year.</p><p>Bethanchok is just an example. Unregulated quarrying and dangerous excavation are headaches for many settlements across the country. Just last year, in the Kalakhola area of Baglung Municipality-13, unregulated mining at the Kaligandaki river left an entire under-construction industrial village and nearby settlements at risk. Nepal’s legal standards mandate that crusher plants and quarries be at least 500 metres away from rivers, roads and bridges, and two kilometres from schools, hospitals, religious and cultural sites and densely populated areas. </p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>However, lax enforcement of mining guidelines has only emboldened these industries. Even the efforts of local people and representatives to control and enforce compliance, like issuing written instructions and demanding adherence to national guidelines, have fallen short. As seen in Bethanchok, mine operators often go for cut-from-below approaches, which are cheaper and require fewer people. Such unethical mining practices warrant stringent punishment for violators and cross-examination in mines across the country. Unfortunately, most of these industries, which political leaders and local representatives own, have political backing and often escape punishment. </p><p>There is a lack of intervention from all levels of government. The federal government can (and should) shut down mining and quarrying industries in settlements and areas officially declared as high-risk zones. As vital is curtailing the operations of those working without proper environmental or geographical assessments. To prevent future devastation from the crusher industries, the country’s disaster management body, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, can also play a pivotal role in coordination with local officials. If it deploys experts to monitor how quarrying practices have put communities at risk and how rivers have changed their course over time due to the flow of debris and dust, many risks can be mitigated. </p><p>Uncontrolled anthropogenic activities have triggered many disasters and environmental damage in the country in recent years. Without urgent actions, this monsoon could deepen the woes of people who have already been traumatised by previous monsoons. Authorities and mine operators must ensure that mining activities never come at the cost of the environment or precious lives.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p> Mind the mines	查看 4293	加德满都邮报	2025-07-30 00:00:00 2025-08-01 04:38:12	word
3225882	有图 <p>Nepal has achieved significant poverty reduction over the past decades, alongside notable advancements in infrastructure, education, health and digital connectivity.</p><p>The next step is to transition from foundational development toward sustainable, inclusive and transformative growth. This requires creating jobs, especially for youth and women, modernising agriculture, improving urban infrastructure, enhancing service delivery and building resilience in a country highly vulnerable to natural disasters and climate risk.</p><p>Nepal’s young workforce, projected to reach 22 million by 2030, is crucial for driving growth, making job creation that reduces poverty and supports national development increasingly urgent. However, many still seek opportunities abroad, relying on remittances that sustain households but without strengthening the domestic economy. It is time to rewrite this story.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>Nepal"s young workforce and emerging private sector offer a springboard for progress. By investing in job creation, strengthening the private sector, and fostering partnerships between government and private enterprise, Nepal can turn its demographic dividend into a true engine of growth. The goal is not just to reduce the outflow of talent, but to create an economy where Nepalis can stay, contribute and thrive.</p><p>The job creation conundrum </p><p>Today, 82 percent of Nepal’s workforce is in informal employment—one of the highest rates in the region and globally. Behind this statistic lies a challenge: Limited opportunities and structural barriers that inhibit progress.</p><p>Real exports have flattened, manufacturing has shrunk, tourism remains underdeveloped, and hydropower, despite its promise, hasn’t delivered on its full potential. Weak infrastructure, regulatory bottlenecks, limited connectivity and digital literacy gaps further constrain Nepal’s competitiveness.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>The human capital story is equally sobering. A child born in Nepal today is expected to achieve only half of their potential productivity due to gaps in education, nutrition and job readiness. Women face even steeper barriers, with labour force participation at 27.6 percent and limited access to quality jobs and skills development.</p><p>At the same time, rapid urbanisation is reshaping the country. Cities like Kathmandu could become hubs of opportunity, driving investment and job creation. However, unplanned growth and underdeveloped infrastructure limit their potential. Strategic planning and investment in urban infrastructure are essential to harness the full promise of urbanisation. </p><p>With the right investments and reforms, Nepal can unlock job-creating growth across sectors. Here’s how:</p><p>Build human capital:Equip Nepalis, especially women and young people, with the education and skills to lead in a modern economy. Expanding access to quality education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship can bridge the skills gap, boost productivity and unleash innovation at scale.</p><p>Empower the private sector: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which make up 90 percent of industrial firms and employ more than half the workforce, are the backbone of Nepal’s economy. Strengthening their foundation and improving the business environment means catalysing job creation, investment and long-term economic resilience.</p><p>Focus on strategic sectors: From the majestic Himalayas to vast hydropower potential and a growing digital economy, Nepal holds untapped sources of sustainable growth. Targeted investment in tourism, energy, and digital services can spark new and green jobs, provided environmental and social safeguards stay central to development.</p><p>Strengthen local capacity: Even the most ambitious plans will fall short without effective implementation. Investing in local governance, improving service delivery, and building institutions that turn policy into real-world results will ensure that progress reaches people and places that need it most.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>A new roadmap for impact</p><p>Maximising these opportunities will require bold and decisive actions. At the World Bank Group (WBG), creating more and better jobs is central to our mission. Our new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) focuses on job-creating growth, resilience to natural disasters and aligns with the Nepali government"s 16th Plan.</p><p>The CPF prioritises four areas for sustainable, inclusive development: Improving the business environment to boost competitiveness and investment, advancing urban development and tourism to create jobs, expanding digital connectivity to drive innovation and competitiveness, and strengthening disaster resilience to safeguard lives and infrastructure against climate risks.</p><p>Unlocking Nepal’s economic potential relies on a strong foundation, with the private sector playing a leading role. The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the World Bank will drive private sector solutions and capital inflows to support job creation and key sectors such as clean air and tourism. Achieving this requires reforms, supported by World Bank policies and IFC advisory efforts, to enable private enterprise growth and investment, backed by WBG guarantees where needed.</p><p>Each of the World Bank Group institutions brings instruments and expertise to support Nepal’s economic transformation. The World Bank aims to make available $1.9 billion through development policy financing, performance-based operations, programmatic approaches, investment project financing and analytical and advisory services. IFC plans to invest $750 million in Nepal, focusing on MSME on-lending (including women), hospitality, energy, transport and infrastructure. It aims to expand its pipeline through advisory services that provide technical expertise and strategic guidance to government and businesses to attract private investment, one WBG collaboration and innovative financing, contingent on reforms to enable private capital and greater private sector participation. MIGA has already provided a guarantee for a hydropower project in the country. Nepal can further leverage guarantees to attract foreign direct investment in key infrastructure sectors. </p><p>Nepal is on the precipice of a new era of progress, with a young, dynamic population; a private sector with immense growth potential; and a government committed to reform. The moment to act is now. The World Bank Group stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Nepal to seize this opportunity, unlocking its vast potential, empowering its people, and charting a path toward enduring prosperity and resilience.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p> Towards job-creating growth in Nepal	查看 7693	加德满都邮报	2025-07-30 00:00:00 2025-08-01 04:38:12	word
3225881	有图 <p>Buddha never undertook a journey to preach his teachings in the Himalayas. Born in Nepal, he attained enlightenment in Bodh Gaya and first met his disciple in Sarnath, Varanasi, India. However, people didn’t appreciate his newfound enlightenment until other Southeast Asian countries and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) recognised him. His teachings subsequently travelled back to India and its neighbouring countries like Nepal and Bhutan. </p><p>People’s acceptance of any religion was possible only when rulers patronised and popularised it. This has happened to major religions worldwide as rulers adopted them either as faith or as elements of legitimacy. The latter trend seems more explicit, with rulers integrating religion into constitutions and legal documents to regulate society and polity. </p><p>Much of Nepali civilisational heritage hinges on the Kathmandu Valley, where Buddhism is believed to have come to Nepal much before the Lichhavi period. It is also said that Buddhism developed its access to China through Southeast Asia and part of Central Asia. But India was the centre of learning, including educational institutions and Buddhist shrines. The Buddhist monks and travellers who took months and years to visit such institutions and took back information regarding India and Nepal were the most significant connecting links between the Indian subcontinent and China via Tibet. Later, due to the domination of other religious and cultural patronage provided by the succeeding generations of rulers in China, India, and Nepal, Tibet remained an exclusive zone, retaining Buddhism as the sole religion. </p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>In China, Buddhism was gradually absorbed by other religious groups after “the state came to control”, making Buddhism a Chinese faith alongside Daoism and Confucianism. As Kanti Bajpai writes, “That Buddhism had more or less collapsed in India by this time only helped in the Sinification of the religion: the land of its origin had ceased to be an inspiration”. </p><p>Religion and politics were intermingled in Tibet, as the Dalai Lama was the leader of both. Following China’s declaration of Tibet as an Autonomous Region in 1950, the long-held Dalai Lama tradition was disturbed as the new communist rulers of China started shaping Tibetan heritage in line with the communist order. Such ruptures culminated in the Dalai Lama’s flight in 1959 and changed the nature and dynamics of Sino-Indian relations, with Tibet becoming the main factor for mutual animosity and even border conflicts. </p><p>Tibet and Buddhism have now become the principal agenda of “diplomacy” (for India) and “statecraft” (for China). Nirupama Rao, a former foreign secretary and scholar of India, has succinctly described this aspect in her recent article published in <i>The Hindu</i> on July 23, 2025. In <i>China, India and the Conflict over Buddhism</i>, she states that higher altitude conflict is “reshaping Asia’s future” and “at its heart is not oil, trade, or weapons but faith”. </p><p>Taking Buddhism as a new mantra for enhancing diplomatic reach by enabling as many tourists as possible to promote tourism trade, most countries with sizable Buddhist populations have adopted Buddhism as a reliable diplomatic tool. And Nepal, the birthplace of Buddha with a rich Buddhist cultural tradition, seems to follow others despite its limitations in becoming competitive in this game of soft power. </p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>The asylum granted to the Dalai Lama by India since his flight from Tibet and the surging border tensions arising from the unravelling developments have strained bilateral relations. There have been recurrent border conflicts in Ladakh, Sikkim, Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh regions, the resolution of which is not possible without settling the border issue. </p><p>The question of the new Dalai Lama has dominated politics in the Himalayas because of the discordant stands taken by the Dalai Lama and China. China has declared that it has the sole authority to declare the successor of the current Dalai Lama, who is already 90, while the latter claims that as the spiritual head, he will decide who will be the next Dalai Lama. India and other Western powers have thrown their weight behind the Dalai Lama living in India. </p><p>The current issue seems likely to divide the Tibetans in general. In Nepal, too, a few thousand Tibetans have been living as former refugees, but many of them have now become Nepali citizens. Yet, their allegiance to the exiled Dalai Lama continues despite Chinese annoyance at their loyalty. Once, Tibetan activists known as Khampas carried out their anti-Chinese activities in some northern districts abutting Tibet. Later, the Nepali army undertook an anti-Khampa mission following the relaxation in the Sino-US relationship. Since then, Nepal has had to monitor the movement of some Tibetans who used Nepal as a conduit for their entry into India, Europe and the US, though without producing any major friction in Nepal-China relations.</p><p>At a time when international politics has become unruly and chaotic, issues that arise from religious and sectarian conflicts may also trigger disputes. Nevertheless, relations between China, India, Nepal and Bhutan are not determined by any particular religion. The simmering India-China conflict has arisen due to several factors, the most important being the border-related problems originating from the time of the British Raj in India. Since China didn’t sign the Simla agreement in 1914, which tried to delineate the India-Tibet border based on the McMahon formula, both countries have engaged in short border wars occasionally. The latest conflict in Ladakh is also the byproduct of such divergent lines of thinking of the two sides. </p><p>The role of political religion in international relations is increasingly becoming an intractable subject. In the name of religion, countries are being polarised into hostile camps, and terrorist groups are created in determining identity and existence with concomitant conflicts. Yet, compared to other regions where unending conflicts surge in the name of religion and ethnicity, the Himalayan region is still quiet and peaceful. And Nepal seems to be in an advantageous position because of its manageable level of relations with both neighbours, China and India. Sometimes, such relations appear to be transactional, and sometimes become cordial depending on the power elite’s perceptions and objective understanding of the issues shaping relations.</p> Religion in geopolitics	查看 7009	加德满都邮报	2025-07-30 00:00:00 2025-08-01 04:38:12	word
3225880	有图 <p>The Congress-UML coalition, which has completed a year in office, has failed to deliver on one after another promise it made during the formation of the KP Sharma Oli-led government in July last year. The two parties joined hands based on a seven-point agreement that outlined the major objectives of the to-be-formed government. In the agreement, they pledged to control corruption, improve governance, accelerate development activities, and ensure political stability. They also promised to focus on amending the constitution and enacting related laws in order to ensure political stability. On the economic front, the coalition vowed to end the prolonged economic slowdown, create a reliable business environment, and boost economic activities.</p><p>The alliance of the two largest parties made a lofty promise of amending the constitution to lay the ground for political stability. But, in reality, it has failed even to amend laws for day-to-day governance. The two parties, which announced plans to expand the Oli government into a national consensus coalition, failed to win the confidence of even the Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal (RJP-Nepal), which had given the trust vote to Oli. The party recently withdrew its support to the government accusing Oli of trying to formulate laws by adding dubious provisions in land-related laws.</p><p>Failing to retain Upendra Yadav’s RJP-Nepal in the coalition has serious consequences. The coalition, which has an overwhelming majority in the House of Representatives, is in minority in the National Assembly without the party’s support. Again, the government’s failure to endorse the land-related ordinance is an example of its short-sightedness. It brought the land bill through Parliament, in the process further annoying JSP-Nepal. Also, alarmed by some provisions in the bill, even some lawmakers and senior leaders of the Congress such as general secretary Bishwa Prakash Sharma have registered amendment proposals to the bill.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>A number of decisions made by this government make a mockery of Oli’s commitment to good governance. Prime Minister Oli and Energy Minister Deepak Khadka have been continuously protecting the industrialists who have defaulted on years-old electricity bills worth billions of rupees, suggesting the government’s pledge on good governance is nothing more than lip service. Reports claiming that many ministers in the Oli Cabinet are neck-deep in corruption are hard to deny either. While then minister Raj Kumar Gupta resigned earlier this month over bribery charges, another minister Balaram Adhikari is still holding the position despite being accused in the same case.</p><p>Separately, the latest case of intra-party feud in the Congress in Bagmati province has sparked concern of instability in the provincial government. Many fear the dispute may push Bagmati into a condition similar to that of Koshi two years ago when the province saw the making and breaking of multiple governments. In Bagmati, a majority of lawmakers passed a no-confidence motion in the party committee against incumbent Chief Minister Bahadur Singh Lama. However, he is resorting to every tactic in the book to cling in power. Lawmakers Maya Shrestha and Mina Parajuli on Tuesday mysteriously changed their anti-Lama stand and came around to supporting him. As if on cue, Lama appointed three new ministers, including Shrestha, on Wednesday. </p><p>To justify the need for two largest parties to join hands to form a coalition government, Congress and UML leaders last year argued that the country was in an extraordinary situation that called for extraordinary measures to ensure stability and economic revival. But a year into office, the coalition is increasingly losing its relevance by failing to deliver on the promises it made. Signs of in-party discords like the most recent one in Bagmati province will only add to its dysfunction.</p> Alliance without action	查看 4169	加德满都邮报	2025-07-30 00:00:00 2025-08-01 04:38:12	word
