The 'military' mid-term elections have been completed with great intensity. In what political background was the election held? This question is raised only in context at this time. Intellectuals and thinkers who influence the election by making political comments on social media have become irrelevant.

How was the election held? It should have been clear to everyone. There were no reports of 'rigging' from any of the polling stations in the country. No booth was looted. There was no disturbance anywhere. The officials and employees of the Election Commission proved themselves to be 'devoted to their duties'. Voters who stood in line to vote were happy to see the 'efficiency' of the Election Commission. In response to the many doubts, suspicions and apprehensions of the so-called intellectual class, the election was 'clean' and 'fair'. Till the time these lines were written, no party has alleged 'rigging' in the election. The conscious Nepali people were aware and conscious about the background of the election. It was seen that the voters understood the language and signals of the election held under the special protection of the Nepali Army well.

The conscious Nepali people were aware and conscious of the background of the elections. It was seen that the voters understood the language and signals of the elections held under the special protection of the Nepali Army well. It is true that the Election Commission, which was trying to hold the elections, and the Supreme Court, which interpreted constitutional issues, greatly supported the election government led by Sushila Karki. The writ petitions filed in the Supreme Court regarding the elections were shelved. Gagan Thapa's attempt to 'establish' himself as the President of the Nepali Congress through a 'special session' was successful. Thapa received the 'official' recognition of the Congress from the Election Commission. Under his leadership, the Congress moved towards a 'victory' campaign. Unfortunately, his campaign proved to be suicidal for the Congress. 

Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki had to work very hard to hold the elections. Prime Minister Karki's specialty was to 'run' the government by sometimes associating his son with the heroes and villains of the Gen-G movement, sometimes by getting angry, sometimes by making fun of them. Some ministers left Prime Minister Karki midway and went to contest the elections. The elections were held with the support of the ministers who remained with the Prime Minister. This was Prime Minister Karki's 'victory'.

The elections were successfully held. For this, the members of the government led by Prime Minister Karki, the officials of the Election Commission, influential officials of the Nepali Army, officials and soldiers of the Nepal Police must be congratulated. The Nepali Army, which has always shown itself to be unaffected and aloof from politics, showed great understanding. The fact that the generals of the Nepali Army are politically skilled was shown by the then Chief of Army Staff Rukmangad Katuwal after the Maoist People's War.

The Nepali people do not get very excited during elections. They consider elections as their weapon. The people have considered elections as a time of change. They have understood that in a democracy, the ballot box is the only effective weapon of the people. Active participation in elections introduces the 'mature' conscience of the Nepali people. This is a matter of satisfaction.

If a consensus had been sought on the point of holding a general convention after the announcement of the elections to be held under unusual circumstances, the Congress would not have had to suffer such a humiliating defeat. The results of the elections have come. The people have rung the bell of the National Independent Party with great enthusiasm. Balendra, who left the leadership of Kathmandu Metropolitan City and reached the leadership level of the National Independent Party as a senior leader, has entered parliamentary politics by defeating Nepal Communist Party Chairman KP Oli in his own constituency. As soon as he entered the election, he freed his surname from the thin 'S' and elevated it to a thick 'S'. He has used the thick 'S' to establish his identity and identity among the people of the hilly regions of Nepal. This does not matter much to him in Madhesh. Ever since he was presented as the 'candidate' for the Prime Minister, he has become the 'favorite' of the people of Madhesh. Whether he is called 'Shah' or 'Sah', his popularity among the people of Madhesh has increased dramatically. 

The peaceful rebellion against corruption and misrule in the country by Gen-G fell into the hands of anarchic and anti-social elements, and the peace and security situation in the country was disrupted. The Congress-UML government led by Nepal Communist Party (UML) Chairman and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli completely failed to control the destructive situation in the country. Finally, after Prime Minister Oli submitted his resignation, the Nepali Army rescued him from the Prime Minister's residence in Baluwatar to save his life and took him to the military barracks in Hetauda.

The elections have completely changed the political landscape of Nepal. The size of the Nepali Congress Party, which laid the foundation of democracy in Nepal, has shrunk due to its own reasons. Judging by the geography and size of the elections held, the Nepali Congress has not distanced itself from the Nepali people. However, the party's public opinion has shrunk due to the unnecessary enthusiasm of the party's enthusiastic leaders at the decision-making level. If there had been no cooperation between the newcomers in parliamentary politics, the National Independent Party and Balen, the traditional character of the Nepali government would not have collapsed. The unnecessary arrogance and ideological deviation of the new and old leaders of the Congress, who are obsessed with the idea that they alone are capable of ruling, have tarnished the party's reputation by forming unprincipled alliances with parties of the opposite political pole. The reputation of the Congress has suddenly fallen after leaders like Gagan Thapa called a special convention on the eve of the elections to advance their ambitions. If a consensus had been sought on the point of holding a general convention after the announcement of the elections to be held under unusual circumstances, the Congress would not have had to suffer such a humiliating defeat.

It was the Congress's mistake to support UML Chairman KP Oli for the post of head of government. Why did the Congress withdraw its support to Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'? The reasons for that are not yet clear. Clarity is needed in open politics. However, the party, which has become thoughtless in the pursuit of power, has never been able to have clear ideas in recent times and has not been able to compete with the opposition. The leaders of the Congress have started competing with themselves. Whether they are new or old, no one seemed to be concerned about making the Congress party strong and organized. Congressmen had hoped that General Secretary Gagan Thapa would modernize the party. However, he pursued his own interests. He tried to gain the respect of his own leaders and allies by calling a 'special convention' on the eve of the elections. People in politics aspire to reach the top of power. However, if that aspiration expands unnecessarily, it will lead to destruction. 

There is no doubt that the Congress has lost its status by becoming the support of Prime Minister KP Oli. After that support was broken, the Congress has lost its destination at the present time. Most of the leaders of the party, which has become the carrier of democratic socialist ideas in Nepali politics, are now carrying capitalist dreams. Their eyes are not fixed on the growing unrest and chaos in the country. The Nepali rural society, which is the party's vote bank, is constantly suffering from poverty. Not only the Congress, but no other party has been able to assimilate this.

Of course, lack of credibility in the governance system is the biggest disaster for the people. It is not an exaggeration to say that what we are experiencing today has increased the crisis of trust between our political parties and the people.  The younger generation tried to draw the attention of the leaders to the miserable condition of the country through the Gen-G rebellion. The situation in the country is dire. There is no work in the country. Foreign work cannot always be trusted. The fields known to grow food in the country and spread out in all directions are being plotted. The people's government has given protection to those who take advantage by showing foreign laddus to the working young hands. After not getting work in their own country, Nepalis used to work abroad to support their families. Nepali boys used to go to Lahore, roam around Calcutta, seek Bombay, and go to Britain. In other words, foreign employment was nothing new for Nepalis. 

A large number of people are going abroad for foreign employment from all countries of the world - India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, and the Philippines. Nepal is no exception. Sadly, we are considering going for foreign employment as a big issue. Neither the government is concerned about this, nor are those seeking foreign employment paying attention. The government's work is limited to opening the office at ten in the morning and closing it at five in the evening. This is our level of consciousness and development. 

Of course, lack of credibility in the governance system is the biggest disaster for the people. It is not an exaggeration to say this - what we have to endure today has increased the crisis of trust between our political parties and the people. We have a duly formed government, with prime ministers and ministers who are seasoned with age and experience. However, their credibility has never been established in the eyes of the people. There is a practice of making different rules for the convenience of every official in the country. No one wants to remove that practice of making rules. Even a general change has not been brought about in the social belief that breaking a custom that has been going on since the time of our ancestors is a sign of weakness. The stereotyped mentality has taken root in the country. Neither the President nor the Prime Minister has dared to break this belief so far.
