According to the news published by Kantipur on Sunday, the Tarun Dal, which is close to the Nepali Congress, has been given government grants of crores of rupees, that too without audit and in a transparent manner. Distributing state funds collected from people's taxes in this way to fraternal organizations of the party is an exercise in feudal accessism rather than democratic values. How will the country become stronger when the organization opened in the name of youth becomes a source-sucking dhamira?

According to the news published by Kantipur on Sunday, the Tarun Dal, which is close to the Nepali Congress, has been given government grants of crores of rupees, that too without audit and in a transparent manner. Distributing state funds collected from people's taxes in this way to fraternal organizations of the party is an exercise in feudal accessism rather than democratic values. How will the country become stronger when the organization opened in the name of youth becomes a source-sucking dhamira?

Organizations like Tarun Dal should have been the schools of youth leadership to shape the future of the country. However, today those same organizations have been transformed into companies that exploit public resources under the "umbrella protection" of political parties by being close to power. The trend of allocating budget in the name of development, extracting funds in the name of programs and keeping silent in the name of achievements has become the root of institutional corruption.

The real situation in the country is dire. Public debt has exceeded 25 billion. Industries, factories are collapsing in the name of privatization. Be it Bhrikuti Paper Factory or Hetaunda Textile Industry, from Janak Shiksha Material Center to Nepal Airlines, all have become victims of political manipulation. While the state-run manufacturing organizations are gradually moving towards merger, the government-backed organizations have received a shower of subsidies.
