Nepalese politics seems to be preparing to cook another khichadi. But this year, it seems that this khichadi was started cooking not only from the kitchen of Satta, but from the 'safe' of the same kitchen.

Congress General Minister Gagan Thapa, who is a member of the government's executive committee, is now commenting harshly on the government. This is not an 'opposition voice', it is a voice of discontent from within the government. The words he spoke are not ordinary, they came in a way to convey the message that the power structure is rotten.

'The minister who went from Congress to the government could not give good performance,' he said, 'the middlemen have access to the Prime Minister's bedroom.'

His statement not only illustrated the plight of the governance system, but also gave an indication of the political mode Gagan himself is going to stand on. In politics, when members of the government themselves begin to express their displeasure publicly, it is either a bell of impending crisis or a foreshadowing of the new equation to come.

But as much as Khichdi is brewing, the more serious thing is that this government has only disappointed the people. Today people's homes are burning with high prices. Access to education is prone to further privatization. Healthcare has turned into a profitable business. But within the gate of power, the ministries are doing the drama of bhagabanda and appointments on the basis of brokering.

Gagan's expression 'intermediary up to the bedroom' makes it clear - even around the Prime Minister, 'close network' is ruling rather than 'democratic commitment'. This is not only a blow, but also a question of the legitimacy and morality of the government.

Leaders are reveling in the power of power, but the people's faith in suffering is eroding. The youth of the country are sweating abroad. Elderly parents are suffering from lack of medicine. Young people are stuck in the hope of employment. But the ministers are ignoring all this. As Ramita watches.

People's question is - Is Gagan Thapa's voice an attempt at true reform or a preparation for a new power game? However, the leadership that the people want is one who stays in power and 'reforms within', and not just stays away and 'blames others'.
