RPP (Chand) and the RPP have merged. But in the hurry, Chand seems to have forgotten to take his name along with him. Rajeshwore Devkota, RPP (Chand)’s president, has said he and some friends would keep RPP (Chand) alive. Bad decision. What is there in the party whose very namesake has defected? Tattler suggests Devkota to form a new party - RPP (Devkota).

Tattler has begun to feel the absence of Finance Minister Mahesh Acharya. It’s been almost one month since our chief executive of Finance has gone to India for his wife’s treatment. Tattler has all praise for Acharya’s love for his wife. But it is also baffled whether he has nobody else to take care of his other half so that he can take care of the state’s affairs.

Home Minister Purna Bahadur Khadka and other Bhattarai supporters still seem smug about the country’s security concerns. And this, even when soon after the hijack incident, Maoists reels have killed more than a dozen police personnel in dring attacks. Tattler suggest Kahdka and the likes to make a proper tour of the insurgency hit districts to learn the truth. If not, they should keep their mouths shut.

Also, why is the government silent, even when all sorts of speculations are being made in the media regarding important national aspects? Speak up, not only to make boasts, but when queries of national interest are also being raised. Right?

High ranking police officials are seemingly falling into the trap created by vested interests who are using some sections of the media to create a rift among the top ranks of the security personnel. Last Saturday, a vernacular weekly printed a news saying how an AIG was planning to oust the present high profile IGP Achyut Kharel. Even PM Bhattarai’s private aide Amita Kapali’s name was dragged into the affair. Pray, what could be the trust between the PM’s Office, IGP and his senior collegues, if such news really is true?
