On May 13, 1940, a 65-year-old man who had become Prime Minister of Britain just three days earlier began his speech in the House of Commons with a mixture of anxiety and hope. The whole of Europe was on fire and panic due to the war. A dark cloud was looming over Britain's hopes of securing a peaceful relationship with Hitler. It had only been three days since the outgoing Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned, admitting that his policy of appeasement towards Germany had failed.

Having gone through many political ups and downs in his life, and personally battling depression, he was a seasoned politician, former Defence Secretary Winston Churchill, who had become Prime Minister for the first time. He stood as the new Prime Minister in the House of Commons to prove not only that he was committed, but also that he had the means and ability to free Britain from this historic predicament.

And, he said, 'I have nothing to offer you here but blood and toil, tears and sweat.' The biggest test lies ahead of us. I want to ask you here – what should be our objective? I want to answer in one word – victory, victory. No matter what the price is, no matter how hard we have to work, no matter how long and dangerous the journey, it is ‘victory’. If we cannot achieve victory, we will not exist.’

The MPs listened with bated breath to the speech of the elderly Prime Minister, who has reached the highest position many times before and experienced many failures. Neither was this a sweet dream speech, nor a message of sympathy. It was just a picture of reality and a promise to fight for the sole purpose of victory as the Prime Minister. There was a commitment to fight for the country until a drop of blood remains, until a drop of tears remains. There was a clear message that there is no greater weapon than the collective determination and hard work of the leadership and citizens to overcome difficult situations.

Just as in the war-torn Britain, when Churchill's speech was heard, the citizens there would have confidence in the state, tears would gather in their eyes, and a faint smile would be seen on the face filled with pain at the prospect of a ray of hope, we too need similar leadership and speech . Like a country that has been at war for a long time, we are also very lax politically, socially and economically .

Yes, there have been many visible physical, economic, social and political advances . However, due to structural problems of the economy such as high prices, very few formal employment opportunities compared to the educated workforce, slow industrialization, a long-lax market economy and public spending, the concern of the common citizens about their lives and future is increasing day by day . In this, the anxiety of the citizens has increased as the society and the entire state appear helpless in the face of various anomalies and chaos seen in the society . Let us close our eyes and think for a moment, what kind of social news is regularly printed in our newspapers ? The increasing problems of our country, the sight of countries that were said to be far behind us moving forward on the path of progress, has forced us to ask many questions. Anger towards the characters who are considered responsible for it has increased. Such series of concerns about the present and the future have tired us.

But ironically, we have stopped giving speeches of hope and trust a long time ago. Even though we have made many speeches that the people want to hear, the Nepali people have rarely had the opportunity to hear speeches that fully recognize the reality of the country, a strategy for radical change in it, a determination to unite the common people around the same policy, and a sense of sacrifice. Speeches that focus on criticizing someone, portraying everyone but me as wrong, and proving that they have made the biggest sacrifice and that they are now the main victim of politics are popular among both leaders and activists. Both those who say and those who applaud are unaware, the common people are in a mirage of hearing speeches that solve the difficulties of their daily lives.

Even now, day and night, there is a strong group of people who are sarcastic about the inevitability of preparing timeless speeches in this country, and saying that we should not make speeches anymore. Here, there is a strong alliance between leaders who question the inevitability of preparing timeless speeches and those who consider such speeches meaningless. But the truth is that it is the leaders of the state or those who aspire to become leaders who can soothe the minds of the deranged citizens, and the means for this is through their epoch-making speeches, the collection of factual, intimate, and hope-inspiring words within the speeches.

Here, the knowledge tradition of our society can never be ignored. Oral tradition has a deep connection with our knowledge and civilization. It is clear from the development of the Vedas, Upanishads, Tripitaka, Sutras, folk tales, hymns, mantras, stories and myths, etc. that the Shruti tradition was the main means of transmitting our knowledge. Listening, learning by listening, telling, teaching by telling is our civilization. Now let us ask, what are we listening to today? What are we learning? What are we telling? What are we teaching? Does it provide a solution to our current problems? And, are we so stuck that we are unable to discuss our problems positively? We are not

ers. Not at all. Shruti is our proud tradition. But we are misusing this tradition in areas that do not benefit Nepalis such as doubt, hatred, and despair. We are spending unnecessary energy. There is a dire need for guardians here who can keep Nepal away from all these wrong practices and paths, understand Nepal and Nepalis as a whole, do not side with their own citizens, at least in speeches, and lead us towards certain national goals by overcoming our current economic, social, and political problems. Elections in a democracy are a golden opportunity to prove that you are such a character.

Now, let's discuss, what are the minimum topics that our leadership, who aspire to lead the country, should pay attention to when making such epoch-making speeches in the coming days? There are many topics, but the entire picture of the country, a roadmap of problems and solutions, a credible picture of the factual destination of the country's national interests, and a sense of sacrifice are the minimum requirements.

1. A humble speech that fits the entire country

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said that the most important quality in a leader is pronasis, i.e. practical wisdom. His teacher Plato even argued that good governance can only be achieved when a leader has philosophical thoughts. Our leaders' speeches should also clearly explain life, the world, society, our diversity, social, economic and political problems. Their speeches are practical. When forming their opinions on any subject, they should express a clear impression and assurance that they are based on facts and will always stay away from passion, passion, urge or prejudice.

In the speeches of such leaders, how much progress has the democratic practice that began in 2046 BS been able to make in the field of social and economic justice? How much has it not been able to make and what are the reasons for that? A roadmap for diagnosis should be presented on that basis. Only such a comprehensive picture draws the possibility of a path of reform. Only such clarity creates the legitimacy of the difficult path of administrative reform. Only in the speeches of leaders filled with all those aspects, the entire country fits in, the common citizens fit in. The foundation of a strong nation is strengthened. Sustainable goals gain legitimacy through state empowerment. A sense of trust and sacrifice is awakened in the citizens. When politics focuses on civil justice, socio-economic development accelerates and over time, all-round development becomes possible.

The leader's speech not only addresses the problems of community schools with fewer students than school buildings or teachers, but also includes the problems of institutional schools that were opened with the sacred purpose of providing education to the community but are worried about how to recover their investment due to the decrease in students. While the state is practicing the concept of a socialist economy that creates employment, everyone who has started a business with the determination to do something in this country but has not been able to achieve the expected success can be assured that they will not face further complex problems and that the state is always ready to be the vehicle for their upliftment and progress.

From the youth who decided to leave the country because they could not bear the intolerant behavior in society due to their surname, economic or social role and decided to work alone in a foreign land, to the youth who wake up every morning and go to campus every day despite knowing that their father admitted them to the campus only to find a good son-in-law and that they would marry me off before I finished my studies, this is a blueprint to address the pain of our children. From the youth who were deprived of the opportunity to read, write and learn by working in the fields or working as wage laborers at school age to contribute to the family's income, but who are now stuck in the hope that if they had some skills in their hands, they could have lived a better life, to the skilled youth who have spent lakhs and studied, who are tired of having to find work as someone they know, to the talented youth who are eager to lead the state, society and the private sector.

From the millions of parents who have dedicated their entire lives to politics and social service, and who have not even realized how their children have grown up, to the hardworking people who have no source of income from the second day they left their jobs, who have made an incomparable contribution to the economic, social and political development of this country in the era of political transition, there should be a clear roadmap for the state's responsibility towards the generation that has made an incomparable contribution to the economic, social and political development of this country in the era of political transition. Let such many national problems be presented in such a unified manner that on that evening, one voice echoes in more than 5.6 million households in Nepal that 'Today, the leader spoke for us, spoke for the country.'

The leader's speech is full of confidence. But the only basis of his confidence is the democratic confidence that the owner, i.e. the citizens, will have the full support of the country because he has carried the entire national problem. He is always polite to the citizens. I have come here to serve voluntarily and I will do this service only as long as the citizens want me to. Expressing gratitude to the citizens and apologizing to the citizens even when they have small problems should be his specialty. And what do we citizens need?

2. Clear 'economic' goals and strategic framework

The people are no longer ready to listen to borrowed words. The economic situation is no longer in a position to think about the long term future or to give the concession that this will happen. The people have only one understanding, that without economic growth, not only can there be no concrete improvement in any sector, but they are also determined that there will be no fundamental change in Nepal's identity in the international world. Just as US presidential candidate Bill Clinton, recognizing the problems of the national economy, planned to revive the sluggish US economy due to the Gulf War and other reasons with his campaign slogan ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid π’, we too need similar economic slogans. We need a courageous leader like Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who added ‘Namics’ to his name and created ‘Abe-Namics’.

So it’s time to talk in numbers. In fact, the 21st century itself is the century of numbers. Even in our daily lives, we talk in numbers about everything around us. Here, it’s not what is written on Facebook, but how many likes and comments it gets. If we look at the countries that have made economic progress since 1950, they have been able to achieve rapid economic development only by developing 15-20 percent new economic growth areas. यदि यसैलाई आधार मान्ने हो भने हाल ६१ खर्ब आसपास रहेको हाम्रो अर्थतन्त्रलाई ४ वर्षभित्र १०० खर्बको अर्थतन्त्रमा पुर्‍याउनुपर्ने हुन्छ ।

यसको ठोस उत्तरबिना नागरिकको मृगतृष्णा मेटिनेवाला छैन । हाम्रा नेताहरूको भाषणमा त्यसको मार्गचित्र प्रस्तुत हुनुपर्छ । जब आर्थिक लक्ष्य निर्धारण हुन्छ, त्यसलाई हासिल गर्न कस्तो कस्तो भौतिक, सामाजिक, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, कृषि, रोजगारी आदि सँगै कस्तो परराष्ट्र नीति र सम्बन्ध राख्नेसम्मका रणनीति, विकासको मोडल मूर्त रूपमा निर्धारण हुन्छन् । अनि मात्रै साँचो अर्थको राष्ट्रिय बहस सुरु हुन्छ । हाम्रा नेताहरू अर्थतन्त्रलाई केन्द्रबिन्दुमा राखेर गर्ने भाषणले नै जन्माउनेछ, आधुनिक लोकतान्त्रिक युगको युगान्तकारी भाषण ।
