From Monday, the discussion of Nani Maiyan Dahal has started again. Nani Maiyan's name will inevitably appear in the Kathmandu election if a nameless character against the government wins the popular vote. But this year he died because of his discussion.

Nani Maiyan, who gained popularity overnight by securing 65,777 votes in the 2038 National Panchayat Member Election from an anonymous background, passed away on Monday at the age of 92. "Nanimaiyan is an expression of the rebel political reaction," says Narayan Dhakal, a former member of the House of Representatives and writer who saw Nanimaiyan's talismanic rise and subsequent anonymous life, "He is an example that the people can satirize the government and elect whoever they want and they can defeat the person in power." She was the deputy president in the election. But that did not give him a political identity. After the 2036 plebiscite, when Nani Maiyan ran for the national panchayat elections conducted by the king in 2038, few people knew him . Nani Maiyan won the election by bringing 36,000 more than Jogmehar Shrestha, a popular leader at that time, and suddenly her name was heard all over the country.

'He got votes because he was supported by the anti-panchayats,' says Dhakal, a resident of Mulpani, Mavali village of Nanimaiyan, 'His style of being able to put his heart in the vernacular of the village without being afraid and also in the front of the table became very famous at that time.' Mavali used to come with the village . Therefore, Nani Maiyan had a good relationship with Dhakal and his damali youths . "We were preparing for an underground organization against the panchayat." We were making a plan to expand public awareness in the village by establishing a library,' says Dhakal, 'When he became a member of the National Panchayat, he arranged for us to set up a library, it was a great help to us at that time.'

'Because of his strong temper, he could not join politics, later in the election in 2043, his public opinion was confiscated,' says Dhakal, 'after that he did not enter politics again, his name remained in the memory.' When Nanimaiyan was a member of the Rashtriya Panchayat, Dhakal remembers that he also moved and arranged land in Ramhiti to solve the problem of refugees living in Buddh.

According to Dhakal, Nani Maiyan was married at a young age. After the death of her husband at a young age before the birth of her children, she spent her life as a lifelong widow. Later, in the 2043 election, Nani Maiyan got only 4300 votes. "He had won the independent elections during the Panchayat era but never opposed the multi-party system," said Dhakal.
