Nepal going Red

Maoists continue their winning streak across the country, leaving Nepali Congress and CPN, the two major partners of the ruling coalition, far behind.

The nation is colored in RED.

Prachanda, 53, who led a decade-long insurgency in the country to overthrow the monarchy, defeated his closest rival Rajendra Kumar K.C of the Nepali Congress in Kathmandu.

Prachanda’s Nepal

The country is on the verge of an epoch-making change and is entering a new era of communism. A ground breaking victory means a lot for Mr. Prachanda, whose real name is Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

He has gained enough verdict to turn the nation fate upside down.

Prachanda strongly believes that his path will established a peaceful, classless/corruptness society, replace the wealthy bourgeoisie with the working class and reshape the entire social and political system. He hails The Shining Path’s ideology with a new name “The Prachanda Path”.

The 10 years of brutal blood-soaked insurgency has ravaged the economy and left the most of the key development work stall. There are huge challenges ahead. Our eyes notice enough indication that the country economic is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

It is unclear that the raise of Maoist will ushered a new set of worries or new waves of joys.

The world is eager to see whether Prachanda Path will turn Nepal a friendly nation?

The wind of change have begun!

The elections are the first in nine years and come almost exactly two years after King Gyanendra was forced to end his royal dictatorship. The election of a 601-seat Constituent Assembly to write a new constitution has been touted as a beginning of New Nepal. It is a matter of concern that more than 2 million Nepalese are outside their homeland. The election commission has failed to reach Non resident Nepalese. NRN missed a great opportunity to exercise the rights to be a part of this historic event.

Nepalis for voting.

The abolishment of the 269-year-old Shah dynasty is likely to happen on the very first day of Assembly. But, There are fear, uncertainty and doubt among Nepalese. Maoist are still backed up with their armed militia. Their word and deed reflect an awkward balancing act. The Maoist Supremo, known by his nom de guerre, Prachanda — says his party will “capture” the state. The other commander in chief, Babu Ram, makes notorious remarks.

Prachanda and other several key figure in leading political party leader — have given an unequivocal call for monarchy to go.

Nepalis ready to vote

The popularity of the Maoist party is being tested at the ballot for the first time in this election. Over the next 10 days, More than 250 constituencies result are expected. Around 10 constituencies polling has been postponed. They are about to re-sheduled after close negotiation with the political parties.

Lets wait for couple of more weeks. We will see clear sign of Maoist and rest of the parties popularity and support from the people.

Different Nepal

Nepal’s in verge of different revolution. We will get chance to do what few modern nations have done: refashion entire constitution. Create new Nepal.

The day, All Nepalese waiting for a long time.

The election game’s lasted for several years. Came through one system to another; Gone through notorious warfare to tragics ends.

The days has come!. The people got to decide whats good and bad.

Everyone with the spirit has to choose right or wrong.

The regime that came and gone for several years, left grave impact; The political system that rooted the landscape, left holes & hollows but The experiment is still open.

The spirit tells the new system has to come, The new leader has to raise, The new party has to emerge. The new Nepal deserve new rays of hope.

The new dawn on the horizon.

Time is great. Lets keep our hope alive.
