The majority won by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the election is not just a victory for one party, it is a ‘rebellion’ by the Nepali people against the traditional political ‘syndicate’ of decades. For Gen-G like me, this is a moment where we have realized that ‘it is possible’ for the first time. But with this victory, the challenges ahead and our vigilance have increased even more.

The people have chosen an alternative after getting tired of the big talk and small actions of the so-called ‘big’ parties that we have been hearing since childhood. This majority is not blind devotion to any person or party, but rather it is extreme disillusionment with the old forces that are not working and great hope for the new. This victory of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has made it clear that now the Nepali people need proof of results, not a package of assurances.

As encouraging as it is to get a majority, sustaining it and winning the people’s trust is equally challenging. Now there is no room left to make excuses like ‘we were not allowed to work’ or ‘the coalition stopped us’. The people have given a complete ‘mandate’. What will Nepal be like now? Will corruption files really be opened? Will it be possible to go to government offices without a ‘source-force’? Will the state create an environment for the youth to do something in Nepal? The answers to these questions should be seen in practice in the next five years.

Our generation no longer needs gossip, but technology and transparency. We want a Nepal where –

1. Education and skills: There should be educational centers that teach skills that the market demands, not universities that just hand out ‘certificates’.

2. Entrepreneurship: Youth who want to open a new ‘startup’ should not have to kill their dreams due to the hassle of government processes.

3. Transparency: Every decision of the state and budget expenditure should be visible to the common citizen through digital means.

4. ‘Meritocracy’: Those with ability should be valued, not those with access.

History is witness that whenever a party gets a clear majority, it has seen a frenzy of power. I have a clear request to the newly elected representatives of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Take this majority not as arrogance, but as a serious responsibility. 

We are the generation that saw the monarchy fall in the country, saw the constitution being made, and witnessed the so-called big movements. However, even after the system changed, the situation never changed. Our elders practiced the politics of 'sacrifice', but now we want the politics of 'development'. Yesterday's parties continued to play with the future of today's generation by selling the history of imprisonment and struggle. This majority of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has given a strong message to the 'traders of history'. Now politics cannot be run by taking interest from history, politics is possible only by investing in the future.

We, the youth of 'Gen-G', have no concern with the long speeches and theoretical debates of the old parties. We are only concerned with 'delivery'. We want to avoid queuing up to get a passport, dying in a hospital without a bed when sick, and not having to serve a leader even for a small task. This vote received by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is a 'check for change', which should now be paid by the bank of good governance.

The biggest obstacle to Nepal's development is policy-level corruption and bureaucratic laxity. This is the biggest test for the new government. The people no longer want to hear the answer 'we are trying'. We want to see how the major corruption cases that have been pending for years are concluded.

Until 'digitization' is fully implemented in the state machinery, it is impossible to uproot the roots of corruption. As the RSSP said in its election agenda, every government process should now be online. The era of carrying files should end and the rule of middlemen should be abolished through the use of technology.

The saddest reality today is the queue of youth seen at the Tribhuvan International Airport. The villages of Nepal are empty, only the elderly are left in the cities. Our generation has chosen the path of the Gulf and Western countries without seeing a future in Nepal. The success of the new government will be measured not only by economic indicators, but by the ‘number of Nepalis returning to the airport’.

The Nepal we want is such, where when a youth goes to the government office with his idea, he is given ‘environment’, not ‘grants’. The revolution in agriculture should not be seen only in slogans, but in ensuring fertilizers, seeds and markets. In this era of information technology, there is a possibility of making Nepal a ‘global tech hub’, but for that, clarity in the state’s vision is necessary.

Winning is not a big deal, changing the lives of the people by winning is a big deal. I urge the newly elected representatives of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to take this majority not as arrogance, but as a responsibility. We still fear that the taste of power will lead you too to the path of the old parties. Therefore, we do not just praise, we will become 'watchdogs' and closely monitor your every step.

We have not forgotten the history that power corrupts people and unlimited power can corrupt infinitely. We have an example of how yesterday's revolutionaries have become 'new feudals' today. Therefore, we have a warning to the new power. We have carried you to Singha Durbar on our shoulders, if you kick the feelings of the people, we will take you to the streets.

Our generation is not only active on social media, we are aware. We understand policy corruption, we understand conflict of interest and we cannot tolerate misuse of people's taxes. Therefore, 'good' people should be selected in every appointment, not 'our own' people.
