Yet another "incompetent" Premier!

Let’s all agree that Prime Minister Lokendra Bahadur Chand is thoroughly a gentleman. He is indeed. Concurrently, let’s all agree that he is the worst prime minister the country ever had in its political history beginning 1950. That he is yet another "incompetent" prime minister, followed by Sher Bahadur Deuba, gets reflected from his disgusting performances ( in effect he hasn’t performed at all) all along these bygone three months plus. That he is a non-performer as he is being portrayed by the majority of the population also comes to the fore when one is reminded of the total failure of Chand and his terribly lame-duck government in even bringing to the leak the tasks that His Majesty the King had instructed the prime minister to accomplish. Neither he has been able to restore normalcy in the country nor he has been able to bring the Maoists to the table officially. He has even miserably failed in managing a meeting with the leaders of the major political parties who have been opposing the King for the latter’s October 4 move. All put together, Chand is a Himalayan failure and hence he possesses no moral authority to continue in the post currently he is in. The gruesome murder of Krishna Mohan Shrestha, the chief of the Armed Police Force, on Sunday early morning by a band of unknown killers describes the law and order situation in the country under the "dynamic leadership" of Prime Minister Chand. In a country where the personalities who themselves head the security organizations were not safe, to talk about the safety and security of the laymen should be a phantasm, to say the least.

Without wasting time, we would wish to suggest the incumbent prime minister to resign at the earliest on his own or else prepare himself to get sacked by the constitutional monarch and meet the fate what his predecessor had to embrace painfully.

It is time that the monarch too becomes serious and initiates conferences participated in by all those who have been opposing his political moves and invites suggestions from them and then acts accordingly. It is time that the national leaders and the King cooperate with each other in the larger interests of the nation. Failing to do so on time would definitely have its toll the form of which is unpredictable. But for the King, the first act he should do now is to sack Prime Minister Chand and bring in a set of others that could steer the nation in a much efficient manner. This he should do by inviting major political parties and seeks their genuine suggestions. We expect that the parties now in confrontational mood with the King would come forward in the larger interest of the nation and its disillusioned population. The King should also think that it is this set of prime minister Chand which summarily failed in meeting his five point directives given to them at time of the installation of this lame-duck set.

If Prime Minister Chand is wise and really a very modest personality, he should facilitate the entrance of some one who could steer the nation in this difficult juncture.
