Why are the government, party and leadership unpopular?

Democracy is not just governance, it is good governance. But in the context of Nepal, it has been transformed into misrule. The scandals of corruption and misrule have not only overshadowed the achievements made in the fields of political, economic, social and development-building, but the democratic period itself has been tarnished.

For the past few years, some serious questions have been raised about the government and the mainstream political parties and the top leadership. Questions have been raised in one way or another about all the institutions and leadership of the society, including not only the political, but also the judicial, economic, administrative, intellectual, and media.

Mainstream parties and leadership are accusing each other of the political instability, misrule and corruption prevailing in the country. The intellectual community and the media have been widely criticizing the government, the mainstream parties and the leadership.

Civil society has also protested against Netaraj and in favor of civilized democratic system. Not only this, the monarchists and regressives have taken to the streets demanding the restoration of the monarchy, claiming that democracy and the constitution have failed. Right now, the streets are full of protests, the government and parties are indolent and the people are confused.

Such questions, debates and accusations are somewhat insistent, exaggerated and even sponsored. But they are not baseless. In all fields, including politics, there is a heated debate on mainstream or different, establishment or alternative, established or new. The mainstream and establishment side of all sectors are now the most defensive. Such questions and debates are serious challenges for

mainstream, establishment and so-called established ideas, parties, institutions and leadership. Has the government and the mainstream parties and leadership lost the trust of the people as per the prevailing debate? Are they unpopular or a failure? Not only for the future of the government and the party, but also for the future of democracy and the constitution, it is inevitable to objectively consider such complex questions and reach a concrete conclusion. 

Institutional decay and lack of accountability 

Democracy is a system, institution and process. If democratic institutions are functional, effective and responsive, the system will develop. Only if the method is developed, the system will be developed. Democracy is not just a system of government, it is a way of life. If the government, party and state bodies cannot assimilate it as a way of life, the question mark will be raised on democracy itself.

In the context of Nepal, democracy has decayed without institutional development. There is a democratic system, there is a constitution, there are parties, there are also three levels of government. But democratic, constitutional and public institutions are not functional and are not strong, competent and autonomous. Political instability and obscene power games from the union to the states have made a mockery of the constitution and parliamentary practice.

On the one hand, due to conflicting relations and conflicts between the executive, judiciary and legislature, delivery has not been possible, and on the other hand, institutional decay is taking place. The government, parliament, state agencies and parties were not held accountable. So people are losing their trust. 

The symbolic institution of a democratic republic is the president. But because the President, who is also the protector and guardian of the Constitution, has been making controversial decisions one after another, this institution has not been free from controversy. The presidential institution has been failing to fulfill the parental, dignified and fair role envisioned by the republican constitution.

On the one hand, the news that former Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun has been nominated as the vice president of Maoists, and on the other hand, former President Bidya Devi Bhandari is waiting to enter the active politics of UML, has raised a serious question mark on the legitimacy of the presidential institution. Therefore, for the protection of the republic, it is necessary to amend the constitution immediately so that former presidents and former vice presidents cannot be involved in party politics.

Constitutional bodies such as the Human Rights Commission, which guarantees human rights and the rule of law, the Election Commission, which conducts fair and fearless elections, and the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority, which controls corruption, are in institutional crisis. Such constitutional bodies have become like puppets of the government and the party due to unwanted party affiliation and appointment of controversial characters.

Autonomous, educational and academic institutions like schools, colleges and universities have also been made into recruiting centers by being highly partisan. Civil administration and security agencies are also partisan. None of the constitutional and academic institutions have been able to function autonomously according to democratic values ​​and the concept of the constitution.

It seems that the credibility of the media, which is considered as the fourth part of the state, which warns the government, party and state agencies, as well as the civil society and the intellectual community is also falling. What could be a greater misfortune for democracy? 

This year's Nobel Prize winners, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson, have expressed the opinion that the development of democratic institutions is indispensable to make democracy functional, effective and popular. The conclusion of their research on democracy and economic development is - 'In countries where political and economic institutions are strong, autonomous and functional, democracy has also been successful and economic development has also taken place in those countries. But in the countries where it has not happened, democracy has been in danger and there has been no economic development. Acemoglu and Robinson have concluded that democracy can only be justified by economic development while suggesting the development of liberal political and inclusive economic institutions. 

The process or situation in which a system or organization loses its purpose, effectiveness and public trust over time is called institutional decay. Due to the erosion of democratic institutions, democracy is in danger.

Political scientist Francis Fukuyama has made a detailed analysis in the book 'Political Order and Political Decay' about the institutional decay in developing countries due to political instability, corruption, misrule and unresponsive governance. Fukuyama has expressed the idea that such erosion can be controlled if the state is run in a transparent and accountable manner by developing democratic, strong and capable institutions. 

corruption, mismanagement and lack of delivery 

In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, as science and technology have developed at a rapid pace, the expectations of the people, especially the young generation and the middle class, towards the state and government are also increasing. Improvement, development, good governance, corruption control, education, health, employment, justice, equitable society are the natural expectations of the people. But the government and the party could not deliver as per the expectations.

During elections and when in opposition, parties and leaders trade dreams. But after coming to power, they don't deliver. Delivery is not a priority of any government or party. Therefore, questions have started to arise not only about the government, party and leadership, but also about democracy and the constitution. Be it opposition party or anti-government, monarchist or anti-democracy, there is a "remarkable" public participation in all the processions. But don't be confused, it's not because the people are against the democratic republic and the constitution, it's just that the people's anger against the government, parties and leaders has exploded on the streets. 

Indices on governance, corruption control and delivery are dismal. Although it is a sad conclusion that the government and the parties have failed to end the misrule and corruption rooted in the society and ensure good governance, this is the reality. Instead of controlling corruption and guaranteeing good governance as per the will of the people, new records of corruption and misgovernance have been set, creating great anger, dissatisfaction and disgust among the people towards the government and the party.

If we investigate and document the much talked about scandals of misrule and corruption like fake Bhutanese refugees, cooperative fraud, Lalita Niwas, Omni, Yeti, Security Press, Widewadi ship etc., then an epic is prepared. New or old, ruling or opposition parties are not immune to corruption, misrule and scandals.

In fact, governments, parties and leaders have become synonymous with corruption, misrule and scandals. Responsible leaders of the ruling and opposition parties are publicly alleging that middlemen, commissioners and corrupt people dominate the important decisions and appointments of the government related to economic matters. Democracy is not just governance, it is good governance. But in the context of Nepal, it has been transformed into misrule. Such scandals of corruption and misrule have not only overshadowed the achievements in the fields of political, economic, social and development-construction, but the democratic period itself has been tarnished.

failed and unpopular leadership 

After the establishment of democracy in 2046, Congress, UML and after the establishment of democratic republic in 2063, people's expectations were high towards Maoists. Due to the hope and trust of the people, Congress, UML, Maoists came to the government several times and Sher Bahadur Deuba, KP Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal also became the prime minister several times. Deuba has been prime minister five times.

is anxiously waiting to become Prime Minister for the sixth time. This is Oli's fourth term. But he seems to have maintained his desire to remain in the executive role by announcing that he will be active in politics for another 10-15 years. Dahal, who has been prime minister three times, is constantly throwing the elusive power trap to the Congress and sometimes to the UML with the aspiration of a fourth term.

It seems that politics is the 'musical chair' of Deuba, Oli and Prachanda's power game, a syndicate of three leaders. What could be a more ugly version of power and syndicate in the name of democratic and parliamentary practice? 

Congress, UML, Maoist and other parties and top leaders including Deuba, Oli and Dahal have failed because they have not been able to deliver despite getting opportunities time and time again. Such failures have made them unpopular. In this way, the people and the workers have looked for an alternative to the failed and unpopular leadership, which has failed to deliver even after getting the opportunity again and again. Until they get rid of such a leadership, there is no possibility of revival of that party. 

Rebellion against the oligarchy and the elite

It seems that the people are against the political ruling class, the political ruling class, the mainstream and the established, who have been capturing the state power for years and continuously and unlimitedly exploiting it. Likewise, strong negative comments have been created or made about mainstream newspapers, television, digital magazines, editors, analysts, columnists, journalists and publishers. In the context of journalism, Ravi Lamichhane's term '12 brothers' has become a much-discussed negative image of contemporary debate.

If critical and analytical material published and disseminated by mainstream publishing and broadcasting organizations is against them, the trend of discrediting them through social media is increasing by directly rejecting them by accusing them of '12 brothers'. Not only this, the unfortunate trend of character assassination of the court and the judge itself is increasing if the court's verdict is unfavorable. Questions are being raised on the intellectual community, civil society, and even human rights activists. There is no such class, level, section and community in the society, about which questions do not arise. 

In the local elections of 2079, Balen Shah, Harak Sampang, Gopi Hamal and other independent candidates were elected. Similarly, in the House of Representatives elections of 2079, the people voted for the National Independent Party against the unpopular and status quo leadership of the Congress, UML, and Maoists. In fact, these developments were a search for an alternative, a ballot revolt of the people against the aristocracy, elites and aristocracy. Even in the mainstream party, public support is seen against the incumbent leadership and in favor of other and alternative leadership.

It is natural that such a 'critical' public opinion is created due to the development of critical consciousness in the people. But the mainstream parties and the top leadership have not been able to accept this reality. Therefore, the elites of all sectors including political, judicial, administrative, intellectual, civil society and media world should seriously introspect and reform themselves and transform themselves. If not, there is no possibility of restoring public confidence. 

But the president of the party, which was established by chanting the mantra of good governance and corruption control, was arrested on the charge of co-operative fraud, and the RSVP is dying at the same speed as it was uplifted. Balen, Hark, Gopi have also become synonymous with controversy, non-transparency and undemocratic character, creating public aversion to the new and so-called 'alternative'. But the failure of so-called new and alternative parties, characters and trends is not and cannot be the success or approval of mainstream parties and leadership. If the mainstream parties and leadership do not accept this reality, there will be another crash in the near future.

social network negative gifts and nbsp;

, Digital Plagal, and social network have been exploiting all such distortions and social networks such as Facebook, X, Takgal, Tickets, Tickets. In such cases, alternative media appears to play effective role than the mainstream media. The development of the

Information Technology, Digital Media and Social Water has been installed by information, knowledge and analysis of social schools, and the original change has changed in the dimension of public interests. The general public and the people in the people abroad seems to have been in alternate media and social network. Alternative media and social network has not only evaluated citizen journalism, also empowering civil rights and voices. & Nbsp; Easicians who have been encouraged to do the scary-BREak but are encouraging the apalisim, extremitism, recresidentialism, and alternative media, alternative media, including Uleno. Especially I have been able to describe Miss Cypalim, disorder, disorder, disorder, disorder, disgrace, the execution. Based on the state, ideal and statistics of Storm, ideas, policies, are not debated, too exaggerated and unhealthy charges. It seems that the misleading involation of the same revolutionary condemns and condemns loudly. Disappointments of despair have gone up to digital Platform and social network. The misconceptions that exaggerate, inconsistently, and poisonous provoga is increasing and nbsp;

attacks on mainstream, mid-valid and liberal values ​​and the popular 'and' hero 'tendencies have also said. Ampatient tendency of donations is growing that donor dives of any thoughts, principles, parties, or character. In the process of propaganda, which says that untruths can be established as true, another new state of Boyors are rising. Story-BREA Media literacy spread misleading and false notations in our spreads of deceptive and false information is abused as an wealth of the political interests. Artificial Intelligence, Fake News, Fake, Algrithis, Algriver is more curtains. Therefore, the governor of the deadlife and deadly wave of paragraphism created through social media has been a major challenge today.

conclusion  The two major parties of the Story Parliament of the Story Parliament has also been created by more despair in the people after not to give a message of hope by relatively. How many verses are this disappointment of democracy and constitution? May appear in the near future. But the faith of the government and party and the party and the party's conflict is certain that the designation of their future and justification. In Fukuya, the idea of ​​Arising, and Ravinson, conclusions and suggestions are extremely unnecessary for Nepal. And the government, party and leadership will assume that reality?
