Ram Baran Yadav: Kasturi Mriga



The old adage is that the Kasturi Mriga runs far and wide seeking the source of the scent emanating from its own body. But the Kasturi Mriga does not know.

Ram Baran Yadav is the source of the political gridlock in Nepal. He consults far and wide as to the reason for the gridlock. He is the reason.

Ram Baran Yadav: Musk Deer.

The President, The Prime Minister
Baburam Bhattarai Will Conduct Elections
Ram Baran Yadav Is Not An Executive President
And opposition partiesNepali Congress (NC) and CPN-UML—want elections under their leadership. They have demanded that Bhattarai must quit for consensus, conveniently overlooking the fact that any consensus will require Maoist agreement and the Maoists will not agree on any candidate other than their own. They do not have the legislative means—such as CA—or legal case to throw out the government. Neither have they enough public support to do it from the street. ....... Ironically, several parties and pundits that otherwise claim to be democratic—like NC and UML, and their supporters—have become political expedientists rejecting the rule of law for a shortcut. ....... Here is how the President can make such a case to minimize controversy. First, he should tell the prime minister that it is his personal responsibility—as the country’s chief executive—to forge consensus to resolve the political and constitutional crisis. He should stop defusing that responsibility among leaders of two dozen parties. ...... Under IC, the President must act through the prime minister, his main point of contact with the government and people. It applies to the resolution of the current crisis as well. But it seems he is letting the prime minister off the hook by engaging more with other leaders.
