The ups and downs in political power-practice affect not only a certain country, but the whole world. The Russia-Ukraine war that started in 2022 is affecting the politics of the world. Most of the countries are for or against the warring countries, while some are neutral. However, this war is affecting the world's political and economic sectors.

In the US, Donald Trump increased the "tariff" in trade relations with various countries after assuming the presidency. Thousands of people have been killed in the war between Israel and Palestine. The power struggle, wars, conflicts and violence happening all over the world are affecting not only those countries, but also the economy and politics of other countries in the world. It clearly shows that the purpose of politics is economic, political power-exercise. 

Naturally, the center of politics is power-exercise, but the people should be placed at the center of such power-exercise. A governance system that addresses the concerns, needs and interests of the people should be established and operated. Political ethics is necessary for running a political system in which the people are sovereign and paramount. But there has been a sharp erosion of political ethics in Nepali politics. As a result of unethical and irresponsible politics, the daily life of Nepalis is becoming more and more difficult.

Since the past, the Nepali people have made great sacrifices for the democratic political system. The leadership of the people made sacrifices against the extreme oppression of the autocratic Jahanian Ranatantra. A federal democratic republic was established by thousands of sacrifices against the extreme plunder, oppression and totalitarianism of the absolute royal monarchy.

Undoubtedly, the role of political parties and leadership is very important in establishing a democratic republican system. As a result, citizens can enjoy democratic rights to some extent. On the other hand, Nepali politics is growing in extreme disorder, immorality and lawlessness. The immoral politics under the guise of democracy is sure to push the country into more crisis. 

The main character of Nepali mainstream politics has become corruption, irregularity, fraud and smuggling. An example is the case of visit visa. The modest and gentlemanly nature of the home minister, Ramesh Lektar, has been involved in the case of illegal collection of visit visas. The resignation of the Home Minister is being demanded from the streets to the Parliament regarding this issue. The author is trying to show that he was not involved in the visit visa case despite the involvement of the staff. But this case is being done by an agency under the Ministry of Home Affairs. It is involved in the activity of setting up the agency of the ministry, which has the main responsibility of protecting the people, and sending them on visit visas. This is a great attack and crime against the people. 

The home minister should have resigned on moral grounds if he was aware of his responsibility and responsibility towards the citizens. However, he is avoiding the responsibility of such a serious crime and is trying to escape by blaming the staff. This is an example of political immorality. 

is driven by political ideals, principles, ideas and practices. When a party and leadership ignores the basic principles and ideas and falls in love with power, power and wealth, no principle of political ethics will work. They make the contributions and sacrifices made by the people for political transformation a ladder of selfishness, transform ideals and ideas into opportunities and turn people's dreams into frauds. He always calls for democracy in his speeches. But when they come to power, they become autocrats and totalitarians. They preach democracy to the people, they are the ones who try to destroy the democratic values. 

The basic character of Nepali politics is being transformed into irresponsibility and immorality. The scandal of political corruption in Jhapa Giribandhu Tistate's Sattapatta case and the involvement of UML president KP Oli came out. He neither had to answer the party nor explain to the citizens.

After sitting on the throne of state power and party power, they are able to trample on policies, methods and methods, what is the importance of the question of political ethics? Involvement of high level political leadership was found in Baluwatar Lalita residence land case. However, many people in state power and political power got a kind of absolution in this case as well. Be it the airport gold smuggling scandal or the Pokhara airport construction commission scandal, the Teramsk scam scandal, all scams, corruption and irregularities are linked to political parties and leadership. 

In all scandals, there is direct or indirect involvement of the party and its leadership in protecting or protecting the political leadership. It is unlikely that a political party that is doing such anti-people actions will be able to strengthen a responsible and accountable political system that addresses the hopes, expectations and desires of the people. 

There is a trend of establishing a political party with the slogan of good governance in the midst of rampant corruption, lawlessness and anarchy. The National Independent Party emerged with the slogan of good governance. Action was taken against Dhakakumar Shrestha, MP of the said party, after the audio of him asking for money to become a minister was released. This showed that the RSVP had a stance towards good governance. But when the list of co-operative fraud cases came out through the passport and citizenship scandal of the party chairman Ravi Lamichhane, the party could not come up with a solid concept about corruption and irregularities. Finally, when raising questions against corruption and irregularities, it came to the point where moral questions were raised towards the party itself. 

According to a survey by Transparency International, Nepal is a highly corrupt country. In the survey conducted among 180 countries in the world, Nepal is ranked 107th, which means that Nepal is recognized as one of the most corrupt countries. So much corruption was not done by the political leadership alone. Extreme corruption is the result of collusion between political leadership and employees.

If we look at this result, the state has failed to establish good governance. It is not possible to establish good governance in the country with this failed political leadership and bureaucracy. How can political parties and leadership raise the question of political ethics until such a situation occurs? 

In 2023, Scotland's first female minister, Nicole Surgeoner, retired from politics after 27 years. She left her post heartily, realizing that a new leader was needed to solve the country's deep political crisis. It was also interpreted as his political ethics.

Just last week, when the people were suffering due to the increase in the price of rice in Japan, the Minister of Agriculture, Taku Ito, commented that he never had to buy rice, but got it from a supporter. Taku resigned on moral grounds because of the insensitive remark that the minister had consumed rice for free when the people had to buy rice at a high price. These are some examples of political ethics. 

Even in Nepal, the then Law Minister Sher Bahadur Tamang, who was formed from UML in 2075, resigned on the basis of ethics because of his negative comments about Nepali female students who went to study in Bangladesh. However, when the political party, leadership and state structure fall into the clutches of corruption, irregularity and interest groups, there is a danger that they will end the existence of the person who politicizes ideals, principles and ideas or values ​​and ethics.

Vinda Pandey and Ushakiran Timsina were suspended when they raised the question of taking land from a businessman for establishing the party office of UML. The then education minister Vidya Bhattarai, who was trying to improve education, was forced to step down by creating an environment where she could not work. However, Oli, who dissolved the sovereign parliament twice, was not touched by the question of political ethics. 

A country without minimum political ethics in the main leadership cannot make economic and social progress, this is one of the reasons why Nepal remains poor, weak and backward. Basically, the result of political irresponsibility and lack of ethics can be seen in all components of the state power. If there is no accountability and sense of responsibility, people will not get justice. Civil servants get salary for serving the state.

Employees are also responsible and stakeholders of economic-social progress. The upper management of the employees is motivated by selfishness rather than responsibility. The intention of the responsible administrator to run a political race to prevent a 'cooling' period on the Civil Bill is clear. Having tasted power and authority from the past, they have a strong interest in playing a role in creating this state of the country, and not letting the opportunity that they have now come to pass. This has made it clear that the selfishness of high-level employees is of a moral character. 

also shows the shadow of political morality in the court. On June 10, 2077, 6 youths were brutally massacred in Rukum's Soti because of inter-caste love affair. Be it the report of the Parliamentary Inquiry Committee or other independent studies, they have concluded that the caste system was the main cause of the genocide. In the verdict of the Rukum District Court, caste was also blamed for the genocide. But in the judgment of the Surkhet High Court, the murder was not based on caste, and the judgment was motivated by selfishness.

Former minister and Congress leader Mohammad Aftab Alam, who killed the victims of the Rautahat district bomb blast incident in 2064, has been acquitted by the High Court. These incidents have increased the danger of losing people's faith in the judiciary. Naturally, it seems that the court is not immune from political power.
