Battle Royale in Congress camp

A famous Latin saying goes, Quem deus perdere vult, primus dementat. Its word for word English meaning is "whom the God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad". Perhaps this saying could be carefully thought about best illustrating and glaring example undoubtedly to be crowned to the Congress party for its current, sorry to describe madness. This is definitely a sheer folly exhibited by the two senior top hats of the party in their bid to destabilise their own party primarily and then the nation secondarily. The homicidal verbal war of words that have started emanating from the two competing rival camps not only bodes ill for the party concerned but for the entire nation as a whole. And the manner the dummy, henchmen and the hangers on from both the camps have made it a point to flare up the crisis definitely will push the entire nation to the fringe. The so called wise counsellors in the Bhattarai camp who perhaps possess no contribution for either the establishment or for the consolidation of the system now in place appear hell bent upon preparing the battle ground for their master to go in for a show of strength with that of the other political competitive camp. This phenomenon could be equally seen in the opposite camp, read the Girija camp, who too were busy in instigating up their master to face the battle royal whose consequences could be presupposed well in advance. It is this lot of the 'spongers and bootlicks' on both the camps who have been amassing wealth by seducing their masters when in power for their personal benefits. It is this set of migratory birds who have maligned the word democracy and have made the word even detestable in and among the common citizenry since the very first days of this system in the country. Unless this set is kicked out from the corridors of power the people will continue to challenge the suitability and the very viability of the system, albeit the current democratic way of life. Apart from this small clique, the nation must do away with the ministers who have become synonym to rampant corruption. The ministers whom the population has already dubbed as rotten-eggs must be severely and mercilessly penalised in public places so that the rest of the same breed gets proper lessons for their foul acts committed while being in power. The leniency of the state establishment seen in the recent years in bringing these set of corrupts to books have undoubtedly corrupted the entire system thus giving all and sundry to think that a democratic system is for the corrupts and that there is no place for the innocent and the duty bound and poverty stricken citizens.

There is yet another set which must keep itself out of the national politics and that too immediately. This set of old and stamina less person appear to have become a real burden for the nation whose influence in nation's politics is some way or the other waning. This is a fact that has been proved by events of the sorts that have gripped the congress in the recent days. The two old-boys of the congress must renounce politics if they wish to continue with their past earned prestige and popularity. Supremo Ganeshman was simply great who conceived this threat in advance and abdicated the congress politics for good. However, it is altogether a different matter that he too had extra ambitions from the state for his family members. The current fight-to-finish between Girija Prasad and Krishna Prasad, both being Brahmins, is the replay of the display that the national population has witnessed several times in the past and duly entertained. Thus there is nothing new in this calculatedly staged drama of the third class order. Rather their intermittent altercations have become pretty disgusting and ad nauseating even for their own party activists let alone the intelligentsia and the already bored Nepalese majority. It is time that they quit politics in the larger interest of their own party and the nation. Further continuance in party-politics will only cut joke of the democratic order. Enough is enough. Let the new generation, good or bad come to the scene of national politics.

Whichever way the current politics turns, the other rival would presumably repeat the same trick with full force and surely further destabilise the nation. Consider the hullabaloo of the congress prior to the last general elections in which the party sought votes from the voters stating that the coalition politics of the nation had taken its heavy toll and that if the congress bounced back to power in majority it would bring the heaven down to Nepal. However, the congress was voted in power but look the results. It is more disgusting than the coalition culture of the recent past. 

Undoubtedly, such chaotic politics facilitate alien forces to meddle in our affairs.

However, good advises that diminishes the feuds in and among the leaders and the parties must be listened to. Similarly, it is time that the donors and the champions of democratic order in the globe whose missions are well based in Kathmandu strongly impress upon the Nepalese leaders to shun differences so that the order continues unchallenged. We also urge the congress party to conclude the feud at the earliest and work for regaining their lost credibility. A word to the wise should be perhaps enough.
