Gombu Sherpa, Member of Parliament of Koshi State Assembly, is now known as 'Gitange Honorable' within the Parliament. Elected from Solukhumbu 1(1) on behalf of the Maoist center, Sherpa does not only question the power in favor of public sentiment in parliament, but often sings songs in organic songs.

"I was dissatisfied with the government's activities and hummed a line of song," MP Sherpa said, "My voice is not good, but the rhythm is fine."

Sherpa used to hum songs from school. In 2053, Sherpa UMLA joined the nearby Aneraswawiyu. Became Maoist after 2058. He was a "whole timer" of the Maoists and was imprisoned for 11 months in 2059.

Sherpa, who was elected from Solukhumbu State Assembly Constituency No. 1(1), is known by the locals as 'Karjyang'. In the 2079 election, Sherpa confirmed his popularity by defeating CPN-UML candidate and former state minister Uttam Kumar Basnet by a margin of 1,637 votes.

He often takes special time in the regular meetings of the state assembly. Sometimes, using the zero time, they speak in favor of the people and their problems. But his style is not 'papery' like that of an ordinary MP, he makes his point through song - in a sort of folk-singer style, in the form of an MP.

In Tuesday's provincial assembly meeting, Sherpa satirized the protest against undeclared loadshedding through a song -

Why is the government burying its mouth in the drain

Do you take bribes and commit atrocities

Where did you go? I can't do a

like this, I can't bear it anymore . This presentation style of

Sherpa is becoming applaudable even in the House. It has also made the ruling party uncomfortable. His songs resonate with truth and people's pain along with satire.

During the visit visa scandal involving the federal government's home minister, Ramesh Lekhtar, Sherpa protested through a song in the state assembly meeting on May 23.

His speech with this song went viral as a video clip. Millions of viewers watched and shared on social media. In subsequent parliamentary speeches, he has been continuing the style of song and speech.

Because of that, many MPs have even started making fun of him as 'honorable Gitange'. When he stands up to speak, some dignitaries say, 'What song will Mr. Gomwu sing today?' He satirized through the song against the Chief Minister Hikmat Kumar Karki and Tourism Minister Sadanand Mandal taking unnecessary budget in their constituencies.

It was Sherpa's allegation that Chief Minister Karki had repeatedly allocated 11 lakhs to a pond in Gaura Dah.

On that basis, he sang a famous folk song during his speech -

Our love sat in the bazaar of Gauradah

How can we forget, mind is blown away

Mind is blown away...

Parliamentarians from the ruling party and the opposition laughed out loud after hearing this song.

His sarcasm was straightforward — he claimed that it was wrong to pour the budget in the name of development on the basis of political access. He had details of spending Rs 11 crore on a pond in Gauradah within three financial years. He also added the fact that the chairman of that pond protection committee is Deepak Karki, a member of the Constituent Assembly and the brother of Chief Minister Karki.

Sherpa's style is clear—he speaks not by writing but by singing. He brings songs to the speech and turns the voice of the people in the parliament into a song. His songs speak out against inequality of power, suffering of poor people and misuse of political access.

His 'resistance through song' has now become a distinctive scene of the Koshi state assembly. Perhaps Sherpa is becoming recognized as a rare character in the parliamentary history of Nepal who sings and addresses the parliament.

Sherpa, who got involved in politics after giving up the opportunity to climb the mountains for free, says, "Our politics is becoming sad. We have to make it pure.'
