Badshah Kurmi, Forest and Environment Minister of Lumbini Province has finally resigned. The police had to investigate Badshah in the case of kidnapping, suspicious death and usurpation of the property of Nirmala Kurmi, a single woman from Banke. The struggle for justice for Nirmala Kurmi continues from Nepalgunj to Kathmandu.

Ignoring all these backgrounds, he was appointed as a minister. However, his resignation has given a clear message that power struggle does not always work in politics. Although the reasons are different, Deepak Manange, who has a controversial background, also resigned as the Forest Minister of Gandaki Province on August 17. Manange became a minister many times by taking advantage of the province's difficult mathematics. The resignation cases of Kurmi and Manange have established the fact that people with criminal backgrounds are not always the same. At this time, it can be expected that there will be a situation where those holding various positions in other provinces and federal structures will have to leave their positions.

Lumbini Chief Minister Chetnarayan Acharya appointed Badshah Kurmi as a minister on July 9. The UML and the Congress alliance rewarded the minister by giving them a ministerial post for facilitating legal proceedings against those who were found guilty of five different crimes, including kidnapping, hostage-taking and fraud. After Kurmi was made a minister, there was public criticism of the Congress over the criteria for selecting ministers. However, most of them remained silent from the top leadership of the Congress, while some even defended them. This raised the suspicion that legal action against Badshah and the ongoing movement for Nirmala's justice would be suppressed. Resignation is the action against him no The Congress and the alliance have been forced to accept that he is not a suitable person to be a minister.

The investigations conducted by various mechanisms of the police revealed the fact of Badshah Kurmi's 'criminal involvement' in the Nirmala Kurmi case, but he was getting immunity under the guise of power. His party Congress also played a role in blocking the investigation. If he resigns, it is not certain that the investigation against him will be completed and the case will reach the court. The need for coercive programs remains the same until the judicial process is completed.

Badshah is just a character. There are still accused and controversial ministers in the union and states. Saroj Thapa, also known as Rose Rana, from a gangster background, is a minister in the Lumbini region. Meenkrishna Maharjan, who was made a minister in Wagmati, has no different background. Even if such people become MPs or ministers, they are criticized by the public, but the party does not seem to have much influence. His party, the Congress, does not even feel the need to publicly answer why he has to be made an MP and a minister. People's voices are trying to be brought to a situation where 'crows are crowing, pina is drying'. This trend needs to end. When

parties consider any action justified for power, the conflicted person gets an opportunity. For example, since 2078, Deepak Manange has been minister 6 times in Gandaki province. When the main parties do not understand the dignity of the public opinion, such people get opportunities. Characters like Deepak Manange, Badshah Kurmi, Saroj Thapa or Meenkrishna Maharjan were certainly not given opportunities and political protection parties for free. It is unfortunate that the country and the system have to pay the price for the benefits that the particular leader got. This is making politics more and more distorted.

When the accused and controversial person became MP and minister, our political system had to bear the brunt of it. But the situation of the emperor having to resign has made him realize that the voice of the citizen has meaning. Such achievements show the 'silver circle' in democracy. If this circle is to be widened further, we should dare to call back the other accused and disputed persons who have been appointed as ministers. At the same time, we should be aware that such people do not get an opportunity while selecting ministers in the future. This is not the responsibility of such and such a party, it should be a common decision.
