Madan Bhandari’s speech was sold on cassette. I know people bought and listened to his speech. Why doesn’t a person who claims to have killed such a talented leader and know his killer repeatedly come to the PM’s chair and investigate? Why doesn’t the President go to Jangar to find her own husband’s killer? To chant Madan Bhandari for the slogan and cheap popularity used only for soliciting votes or to expose the truth to the people?
I have also heard some of his speeches. He presented his arguments in simple language. He said, ‘Here in his house, while raising elephants, he needs a lot of grass, a lot of husk, a lot of feeding. But if you raised a goat, that goat would have enough grass. In this sense, if there was to be an elected president, he would have worked for 15-20 thousand rupees, the same salary as the prime minister. But this aristocratic style of living will not be enough for the palace now. That’s right, it seemed. Today, five years have passed since his wife, Bidyadevi Bhandari, took over the presidency from the king. But is President Bhandari’s lifestyle, expenses and pomp less than that of the king? No less There is more. President Bhandari has been dragged into controversy due to her service facilities and working style. The general public, both locals and foreigners, are fascinated by the tendency of the airport itself to come to a standstill when traveling by road and internationally. Late Madan Bhandari’s wife Vidya Bhandari, who raised her voice against the working style of the king yesterday, has already surpassed the working style of the king. She rides a car more expensive than the king rides, and rides a more luxurious helicopter than the king rides. It has become impossible for even writers to write against the wrongdoings of President Bhandari. Songs by some artists have been banned for defaming the president. The king rides a more luxurious helicopter. It has become impossible for even writers to write against the wrongdoings of President Bhandari.

Madan’s wife Vidya Devi Bhandari is the first woman president of the country. And the second citizen of the Republic of Nepal. With few exceptions, the UML has consistently participated in almost all governments formed after 2046 BS. Meanwhile, Madan Bhandari’s activist KP Sharma Oli is the country’s prime minister with a two-thirds majority. Oli has been a minister for almost two years since the assassination of Madan Bhandari. He has been the Deputy Prime Minister for about two years and the Prime Minister for about four years. It has been 5 years since Madan’s wife Vidya became the President. She has been a minister many times before. But not a single day has gone by that the people of the country have not heard about the investigation of the Dasdhunga massacre by Vidya, either formally or informally. He is the same KP Oli. Many road railings were broken. Many policemen rained bricks. Some innocent lives were lost during the same movement. The vision of that time, The UML spectacle of discussion and Surya may have been recorded in the street spectacle of the UML movement. Those who have free time are turned away. The party had also formed a separate commission of inquiry under Oli’s coordination and the alleged report was also prepared. But Oli, who led the investigation committee from burning tires at the time, did not even remember the report he had prepared while leading the government.
In the general election of 2048 BS, Madan Bhandari gave victory to the UML through his speech. In almost all the elections since 2051 BS, the UML (now the CPN (Maoist)) has garnered votes with the slogan of finding Madan Bhandari’s killer. The UML kept telling the people that the killer could not be found as it was necessary to run a minority government and a coalition government. Even if the common people believe. In the last general election, he got a two-thirds majority. With a two-thirds majority government, Bhandari has his own wife, the president, and his own disciple, KP Oli, as prime minister. Now the people had hoped that the communist government would investigate the assassination of its leader. But after becoming the Prime Minister, Oli remembered Dasdhunga but not Madan Bhandari. Instead of Madan Bhandari, he gave importance to the boat. He decided to run a boat from Triveni to Dasdhunga. He made a shameless move to name the boat after the ship. How many jealous people? There is also a limit to humiliation. At that time, many thought that the CPN-UML would turn the tide by conducting a judicial inquiry into the Dasdhunga massacre. The commission of inquiry formed by the party at the time was, after all, headed by him, who had ruled out a conspiracy.
By changing the subject in the name of operating a ship, the Prime Minister made the people laugh, mocked the soul of Baikunthavas of Madan Asrit. Neither Bhandari nor Oli could follow the path shown by Madan Bhandari to change the dilapidated condition of the people. UML has fired four posts from Manmohan Adhikari to Madhav Kumar Nepal, Jhala Nath Khanal and KP Oli by chanting slogans to bring out Madan Bhandari’s killer. Did these four prime ministers do justice to Madan Bhandari? Did his ideological revolution assimilate the idea of multi-party democracy of the people? But these are just empty slogans. UML only played the politics of power by playing Madan’s card. He became the first player to change the system of the country and take control of the power. But the UML did not move forward according to Madan’s thoughts, dreams and ideals, nor did it give any sign of change in Madanpath to the country and the people.
If the assassination of the leader is so secretive, how can the general public expect justice? If we are happy to reward the person who killed 17,000 people, including the army and police, and live happily, it cannot be said that such incidents will not happen again. If we cannot reveal the secrets of such incidents ourselves, we can also seek the help of international experts. There are many international bodies that have gained expertise in investigating mysterious events of a serious nature. They will bring the truth to the people. Such incidents will not happen again. And the Nepali people will feel relieved. If the government cannot conduct its own investigation, let it be handed over to an independent body. Only then will the truth be investigated. Even if it is late, the Nepali people will feel relief. Why was Amar Lama, the only witness to the murder, killed? Should the Maoists answer this? Amar Lama was injected while in jail Why did the UML reward the doctor who tried to kill him and make him a Member of Parliament and Minister again and again? Should President Bidhyadevj Bhandari and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli give the answer or not? Amar Lama was not only a driver but also a UML cadre. The killing of Amar Lama by the Maoists and the formation of an alliance between Prachanda and KP Oli cannot be considered a mere coincidence.
If such incidents continue to happen and the concerned bodies never find out, then why the police of our country? Why should an organization that is unaware of its main responsibility be taxed by the tax collected from the blood and sweat of the people? A separate special force is needed to investigate such major crimes. Who can work with freedom. Don’t smell of interference from anywhere. If politics interfered everywhere, the truth would never come out. Nirmala is like rape and murder and Krishna Prasad Adhikari of Gorkha is like that.
What is the purpose of a two-thirds government? Until the truth comes out, the Nepali people will not be able to experience justice. Justice is the right of the people. When the election comes, such issues are heard loudly. All these issues are resolved with the election results. Is it a failure of the government to watch a spectacle when a criminal who has been sentenced to life imprisonment for being cut and burnt alive is acquitted by the court?
How are the Nepali people looking, what kind of government is needed? What kind of government is suitable for the soil of Nepal? Now the country needs a government that suits the soil. Did you need an autocratic king like for the Panchayat period for some time? Is military rule okay? People have started to feel that. Democracy is not a bad system, but in our country, prostitution has come to dominate in the name of democracy. Democracy has not yet arrived in Nepal. Dissolving the Panchayat system in 2046 BS was a big mistake of King Birendra. Due to the same mistake, Nepal is heading towards the end.
