Three Hydro Deals

मैले साँचै नै बुझन खोजेको कुरा जल सम्पदाबारे

भारतीय कम्पनीले $1.04 billion को लागतमा ९०० मेगावाट बिद्युत उत्पादन गर्छ भने र चिनिया कम्पनीले $1.6 billion को लागतमा ७५० मेगावाट बिद्युत उत्पादन गर्छ भने भारतीय कम्पनीको काम राम्रो देखियो। र भारतले यसरी अग्रसरता नदेखाए सम्म बिश्व बाजार को पुंजी नेपाल आउने वाला छैन। भारतको अन्ध विरोध गर्नेहरु नेपाललाई गरीब नै बनाई राख्न चाहने हरु हुन।

१००% पुंजी लगाएर १००% काम गर्ने कम्पनीले के पाउने? कति पाउनु जायज हो? विश्वमा अरु ठाउँमा त्यो अवस्थामा के हुने गरेको छ? अरु ठाउँमा नदी भएको देशले ३०% बिजुली मुफ्तमा पाएको छ कि? भन्न सक्नुपर्यो।

यसरी २-४ महिनाको फ़रक़मा ९०० मेगावाट को दुइ दुइ वटा deal ल्याइ दिने मोदी ----- यो त हर हर मोदी नै भन्नुपर्ने मान्छे रै छ, वामदेवलाई चेतना भया। यो गतिमा अगाडि बढ्ने हो भने १०-२० वर्ष भित्र ४०,००० मेगावाट बिजुली उत्पादन भइ सक्छ।

एक खरब रुपया सानो amount होइन। त्यत्रो लगानी भित्र्याउनेलाई आदर गर्न सिक्ने हो।

Modi Is For Consensual Constitution Making

Nepal statute must be through consensus: Modi
"Delay in writing the Constitution will not be in Nepal’s interest" ..... the parties should try to write the new statute through consensus and not on the basis of numerical majority. ..... the new statute should reflect the aspirations of Madhesis, Pahades, and the Maoists and other people in the country. ....... While the ruling parties want to opt for voting in the Constituent Assembly where they have more than two-thirds majority with the help of other smaller parties, the UCPN (Maoist) and the Madhesi parties have insisted “consensus only” approach. ........ his remarks is likely to please the Maoist and Madhesi leaders. ....... The Madhesi party leaders who were miffed that the Indian PM assiduously avoided mentioning Madhes in his remarks to Nepal’s Parliament would be very happy with the public display of support for them.
