The then Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai rode a 'Mustang Max' car produced in Nepal. His ministers used cars worth one and a half to two crores.

After all, what is the meaning of only the Prime Minister riding a 'Mustang Max' car? That is an example of ministers exploiting government assets rather than their duties. At that time, Prime Minister Bhattarai should have made a policy and got it passed by the parliament - that government property cannot be misused. Now no one will allow this policy to pass, because everyone has been enjoying the people's taxes. The saddest thing is that when ministers go to weddings, fasts or feasts, they wear flag-carrying cars, followed by security guards, this is completely wrong. Can you take the minister's car to go to public work? Not only ministers but all those in government positions are misusing government assets in this way.

In the Republic of Nepal, it is surprising to see the President, Prime Minister, Ministers walking around with sirens playing, causing traffic jams for hours. Republic did not just come to the country, republic had to come in the thinking of the leader. In the current situation, it seems that only the leader has changed. Shouldn't leaders and people be together? Why is the distance between the leaders and the people increasing? Security personnel who yesterday ran after the King/Maharaj now have to run after the leader. What is the difference between yesterday and today? The ruler is different, everything else is the same. Yesterday, one could not speak or write about the King/Maharaja, it could even be considered treason. Even now, there is a situation where there is a danger of writing dissatisfaction about leaders on social media. The difference between yesterday and today?

How long can a poor country like ours support such a leader? The tax paid by the people is not enough for the leader, who will give the salary to the employees? The service facilities provided to the President, Prime Minister, Ministers, MPs, civil servants should be cut. The pay scale of lower grade employees should be increased, and only then will equality come. Now there is about two-thirds of the government. At this juncture, the Prime Minister had to cut all government spending. For that, a policy had to be made and passed by the parliament. The reason why the country went into chaos is because of the increase in government spending. However, such serious matters do not get a place. Who is the leader who raises such issues? Because he also does not want to be out of power. In the Republic of Nepal, if people talk about such issues, it becomes anti-republican. Oil from abroad, cars from abroad, spare parts from abroad. And for every minister, from the vehicle, oil, driver to maintenance expenses from the government fund. Giving all the facilities only for a certain person but losing relief to the people? Government property has been misused from every sector, who will stop it?
