Even now they are walking around in the seat of power.
What you should know
People are looking for a political leadership. However, instead of taking a break from politics, 73-year-old KP Sharma Oli changed the constitution of the party in his favor on Sunday to continue his active politics.
Prime Minister Oli, who will be the Prime Minister for the fourth time, did not want to appreciate the sentiments of the people. He has tried to ensure his future political journey by revising the 70-year-old age limit for party leadership and not more than two terms in the executive position. 81-year-old Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba is waiting to become the Prime Minister after 10 months.
According to the agreement between Congress and UML, Oli and Deuba will be prime ministers alternately. If for some reason distrust in the two-party alliance increases, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the leader of the main opposition party Maoist, who is considered as the 'waiting prime minister', is eager to become the prime minister for the fourth time after completing 70 years. How many times was the prime minister? Deuba wants no one to break his record.
How are you trying to break the record of Oli-Deuba, while Dahal is at stake to hold the record of being the prime minister for the most number of times among communist leaders. The generation born between 1997 and 2012 is known as 'Gen G'. Those born in 1997 are now 28 years old. When they were born, Sher Bahadur Deuba had become the Prime Minister. Oli had also become a minister. Maoist Chairman Dahal had started an armed war by swearing to change people's lives. Even now, they are the ones who are in the chair of power.

28 years later, their lifestyles have changed . There was a change in their lives and their families. There was a sudden change in the lifestyle of the leader and the lifestyle of the family members. However, the lifestyle of common people is the same . Obligation to go abroad for employment. A situation has arisen where all the assets have to be sold for education and health. Whenever there is a war or an accident in any corner of the world, the news of the death of a Nepali comes. The only reason for that is not being able to provide employment opportunities within the country.
Similarly, it has been practiced to give slogans of zero tolerance to corruption, but far from controlling corruption, protecting the corrupt, and running the government for the interests of a handful of middlemen . Rather than sending qualified people to the courts, constitutional commissions, ambassadors or professional organizations, the leader sends people close to him from political affiliation. Questions have been repeatedly raised about activities such as abusing the proportional election system given by the constitution. However, the leaders who should have taken the opportunity do not care about such questions raised by the people . They argue that people grow old not by age, but by thoughts, saying that there is no place for rest in politics, and they are busy with ways to stay in office.
Democracy, full democracy, the country is in a federal democratic republic system . The arrangement is perfect . However, certain leaders have taken control of this system. Political parties and ideas are important in democracy. However, almost all parties have undemocratic behavior in their internal life . One leader has kept the party under his control . No one can stay in UML by dividing their votes with Oli . There is a practice of voting in Congress.
But, whatever is right/wrong, the party council dominates the decision . Those who questioned Maoist Chairman Dahal, who has been in the leadership of the party for four decades, have been sidelined one after another. The Madhesh-centric parties that emerged as regional parties after these three parties have also learned this . Mahant Thakur and Upendra Yadav have been in the leadership of the party for 18-20 years. To remain in the leadership, Rajendra Mahato has repeatedly split the party . From Dahal to Yadav, they have undermined the democratic system by creating an environment in which they are elected president every time.
Discontent has arisen among the common people due to the position and power obsession of certain leaders who have been in the leadership for a long time but have not been able to lead the country to progress. The Rashtriya Swatantra Party and the Janmat Party, which emerged from the last election by taking advantage of the same displeasure, could not make a positive impact. The outpouring of all these frustrations was somehow seen on the social media . The questions about the leaders and the stream of negative comments coming under the news of the leaders were revealing the things that were lost in the minds of the youth.
However, the government decided to close the social network last Thursday (August 18). In the name of non-registration, the government closed two dozen social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Messenger. Analyst and anti-corruption activist Dipesh Ghimire says that the growing discontent has been fueled by the ban on social media. With the decision of the government, the "Gen G" generation started to grow. They used the banned social media through different techniques. Called to oppose the government's move. They prepared to hit the road by messaging each other. They have been opposing corruption for a long time .
Added to the protest against corruption is the protest against shutting down the social media. "Zen-ji was already raising questions about the lifestyle and luxury of the leader and his children," says Ghimire. This move by the government triggered . The youth took to the streets.' There are many examples in the world where the movement started against corruption took power. What is Jen-G saying? It is important to understand their feelings," he said, "generational change in leadership has become necessary. There should be no delay in controlling corruption, punishing the corrupt and creating opportunities for enterprise and employment in the country.
former administrator Rameshwar Khanal says that although there was a movement after the social media was closed, it was basically dissatisfaction with the behavior of the leaders. "Government's random And wrong decisions result . Not being able to provide good governance is also the reason for the anger of the youth," he said. They are safe under the guise of power . The situation as if the law is only for those outside of power and power has also increased the anger.
He commented that the government should take a decision after analyzing the public opinion and imposing a decision. The young generation is looking for change. Generational change in leadership? The same people have been running the government for years,'' he said, 'it is necessary to address it in time.' Generational change in leadership is necessary . It is important for the leaders to understand.' If the 'Zen-G' movement flares up, the situation of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will not take long to repeat, he said.
