It is widely proven how
social media is playing such a vital role in today’s world. In the recent
Indian election, Narendra Modi’s biggest strategy was to use the best of the
social network and media. Everyday people all over India and outside India were
flooded with messages on their Twitter, Whatsapp, Viber, Facebook or any other
local IM apps. It surely has saved a lot of campaign cost and the messages were
pretty effective as it was very personal. For people who think facebook and
twitters are for selfies, this is something they need to learn.
One of the catchiest
thing of the election was the tagline Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) was using, “
Iss Barr Modi Sarkar”. It somehow became the young crowd’s favorite, 150
million first time voters ( ironically the target group for Congress India). The
BJP has defeated Congress I with such humongous difference that suddenly the
world is asking how and what next.
Born in a grocer
family, Modi is the third among four children who had worked at a tea stall
from the age of 6. A follower of Vivekanda and highly inspired by the lifestyle
of Sadhu’s in India, Modi has branded himself as a very different breed of
political leaders. His biggest political turn was when he shifted the Tata Nano
Motors’ plant fromWest Bengal to Gujrat and boasted the economy and became one
of the strongest PM candidates from BJP. A political leader who sleeps 3 hours
a day and is a workaholic might change the face of the country in a better and
effective way.
Indian Media is telecasting
24/7 what Modi is doing, where is he going, who is he meeting. Obviously since
he is going to be the 15th Prime Minister of India and now what he
had promised in last couple of months, will be fulfilled on not. On the other
side, our very own PM Mr. Sushil Koirala has reached his 100 day without doing
anything as a PM. Maybe personally he had acquired something that we are not
aware of, but if we see the track record, nothing substantial we can see in his
100 days.
When there is a big
controversy going on, with the visit of the PM of Pakistan Mian Nawaz Sarif
attending the oath taking ceremony of Mr. Modi on Monday, the not invited PM of
Nepal is eager to leave for Delhi. I am glad that in 100 days this is the first
good decision that Sushil Baa has taken. Maybe if he gives his attendance at
Delhi, Modi Sarkar might give us the closest sea link or India decided to make
all the arrangements for the Hydro Power and even buy it from us when we start
producing. I don’t even mind if they have a similar understanding as India and
Bhutan has.
Anyway, we got to wait
and watch what the Modi Sarkar will do with its targeted group, that is the
youth and the middle class, which the Congress has ignored in its agenda until the
elections. Modi has promised a safer city for women and a better economical
support to the marginal, it is easier said than done, hope that Modi Sarkar is
a good surprise for Nepali people ( I don’t care what happens to the
government, I just want a better policy for the people) because “ Hami le jatti furti lagayepani….Bharat ma
pani parda, Nepal ma Chata odnu parcha”

Well, at this point, we have to wait and see if Modi delivers.
One correction to your writing though.Sushil da being PM is the head of gov. of Nepal. Therefore, he is invited.
Times Of India --Nirmala Sitharaman, from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said all heads of government from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) "have been given invitations to be present at Modi's swearing in."

Alas, if only Sushil Koirala had the same energy and drive as Modi! Besides the silver beard and a supposedly humble lifestyle, Narendra bhai and Sushil da don't have too much else in common ;) Koirala can put a crowd to sleep in the same five minutes that Modi can rouse them. Not so much because of his speech defect but his lack of passion and vision that fail to inspire even the most die-hard among his supporters . Not to mention his perpetually low personal energy levels. If there is one thing Koirala gains from visiting India, I hope it is energy - hydro but more importantly good old fashioned sugar and carb energy :)

Vivant.....i missed on writing this point you have mentioned.....thank you.....Modi is a differeny breed of politician India has seen and I guess Nepal also badly need such visionary.....hope he is man of his words and commitments
My opinion :
India needs to get really really serious about controlling its population growth. Having abundant internet access to such a huge mass of its population is not bad though.

A leader in a military might have a good vision for the development. we tried and trusted all the political freaky leaders and every times our expectation is scattered and we civilians are in a complete pain. Correct me if I am wrong. :)

1. Will Modi increase the subsidy to farmers or not ?
India has record harvest for last two years he may not incrrese the subsidy--Nepali farmers are relatively sfe Many Indian farmers are committing suicide because they cant pay bank loan--Modi may Increase the subsidy to those--Nepal be careful Increase in subsidy means their agricultural products will be cheaper than Nepali agricultural products
In such case , what to do ?
Nepal government should match the subsidy provided to Indian farmers to Nepali farmers so that our product will be competitive--But is our government ready?
2. There will be lots pf incentive to Industries to India so chances of more industry start up-
In such case
Positive effect to Nepal
1,. There will be high demand for energy so hydro power investment will be lucrative-Chance of FDI in Nepal will be higher--but is government is doing its HW for such scenario ?
2. More jobs created in India means less Indians to Gulf countries--chances for Nepali workers
3. Indians will be richer--means some increase in Indian tourist in Nepal.--business opportunity
4.Hopefully those industries will also use cheap Nepali labors--Increase demand for non skilled workers
Bad effective
1. lots of Nepali Industries need to compete with Indian industries--very difficult to survive --they need either subsidy or higher tariff for Indian goods (India will complain) how Nepal will react- Is govet doing its HW? 2. Lots of New products in India means lot more import--problem with trade balance?
To escape from all those situation what nepal need to do
Invest in Hydropower in transmission line every year 100 billion Nepali Rs--start building it in five years time we have lots of hydro power
Provide all Nepalese 300 units (300KWH/ hr ) of electricity for 400 rs . If they do this cooking food in electricity will be cheaper than in gas so import of Indian gas will be reduced dramatically. At present I think government is subsidizing almost 900 Rs per gas cylinder instead produce electricity and subsidized Nepali product (electricity).
Government need to act fast
start different project that will produce 6000Mw of electricity in 5 yrs subsidized that electricity and provide them for Nepalis. all Nepalis will use electricity instead of gas Nepal can invest 100 billion rs per yr (government,ppl,bank and foreign aid)
Local ppl who woked in hydro power construction can be paid half (if they agree) and half of their salary can be converted into their investment.or equivqlent of free elctricity when the project is complete. Or they cam consider it loan to government which government will pay later on with interest. This is when they need money
That is what I think, and i think its the only way out for Nepal Nepal will never be out of its misery otherwise. conservative thinking wont work.traditional way of thinking failed. need to think new model of development-are we flexible enough?

_______ , Your response to my thread is commendable....being conservaltive and dependable never works in the long run.....Nepali govt needs to know their strength and negotiate with it..... But unfortunately Sushil Baa looks pretty lost already

काठमाडौं-प्रसारण लाइन निर्माणमा उत्पन्न स्थानीय अवरोध हटाउन सरकारले सुरक्षाकर्मी परिचालन गर्ने भएको छ। मुआब्जालगायत विषय उठाएर झन्डै एक दशकदेखि प्रसारण लाइन निर्माण अवरुद्ध हुँदै आएपछि सरकारले सुरक्षाकर्मी लगाएर भए पनि काम बढाउन खोजेको हो।
स्थानीय, राजनीतिक दलका नेता–कार्यकर्ताद्वारा अवरोध उत्पन्न गरिएपछि एकाधबाहेक अधिकांश प्रसारण लाइनको काम अघि नबढेको विद्युत प्राधिकरणले जनाएको छ। यसमा थानकोट–भक्तपुर, खिम्ती–ढल्केबर, हेटौंडा–भरतपुर, भरतपुर–बर्दघाटलगायत प्रमुख छन्। स्थानीय मात्र नभई कतिपय ठाउँमा सरकारी निकाय (वन र वातावरण मन्त्रालय तथा मातहतका निकाय) बाटै अवरोध हुँदै आएको छ।
‘अवरोध उत्पन्न गरिएका क्षेत्रमा सुरक्षाकर्मी परिचालन गरेरै भए पनि काम अघि बढाउन लागेका छौं,' ऊर्जामन्त्री राधाकुमारी ज्ञवालीले बिहीबार नागरिकसँग भनिन्, ‘गृह मन्त्रालयसँग समन्वय गरी अवरुद्ध आयोजनाका काम अघि बढाइनेछ।' प्रसारण लाइनको अवरोधले उत्पादित बिजुलीसमेत खेर जाने अवस्था आएको उनले बताइन्। ऊर्जा मन्त्रालयले तीन वर्षमा लोडसेडिङ अन्त्य गर्न गठन गरेको कार्यदलले आयोजना निर्माण र यसमा उत्पन्न अवरोध हटाउन आवश्यक संयन्त्र परिचालन गर्नुपर्ने सुझावसहितको प्रारम्भिक प्रतिवेदन बुधबार मन्त्रीसमक्ष पेस गरेको थियो। मन्त्रीले स्थानीयका आवश्यक माग पूरा गरेर पनि अवरोध हुने क्षेत्रमा सेना तथा प्रहरी नै परिचालन गर्ने विषय थप्न कार्यदललाई निर्देशन दिएको मन्त्रालयका एक अधिकारीले बताए।
मन्त्रालयले गत वैशाख २४ गते कार्यदल गठन गर्दै लोडसेडिङ घटाउन तत्काल गर्नुपर्ने कामबारे विभिन्न क्षेत्रको अध्ययन गरी २१ दिनभित्र सिफरिससहितको प्रतिवेदन बुझाउन निर्देशन दिएको थियो। विद्युत प्राधिकरणका सञ्चालक इन्दिरा श्रेष्ठको संयोजकत्वमा बनेको १० सदस्यीय कार्यदलले मन्त्रीलाई उक्त प्रतिवेदन पेस गरेको हो। प्रतिवेदनअनुसार लोडसेडिङ न्यून गर्न पहिलो काम आन्तरिक तथा अन्तरदेशीय प्रसारण लाइन निर्माण तथा विस्तार गर्नुपर्ने औंल्याइएको छ। प्रसारण प्रणाली नभएकाले बिजुली भएर पनि वितरण गर्न नसक्दा लोडसेडिङको समस्या बढेको प्रतिवेदनमा उल्लेख छ। कार्यदलले अन्तिम प्रतिवेदन बुझाउने समय बुधबारदेखि ७ दिन थपी बढी समस्याग्रस्त क्षेत्रमा सुरक्षा परिचालन गर्ने लगायतका केही बुँदा थप्न निर्देशन दिइएको मन्त्रीलाई उद्धृ गर्दै एक अधिकारीले बताए। ‘स्थानीयको सहयोगविना कुनै आयोजना बनाउन सकिँदैन, उनीहरूको माग पहिलो प्राथमिकतामा राख्नुपर्छ,' मन्त्री ज्ञवालीले भनिन्, ‘स्थानीय माग प्राथमिकतासाथ सम्बोधन गर्दा–गर्दै आयोजना नै असफल गर्ने गरी अवरोध भए सुरक्षाकर्मी परिचालन गरिनेछ।'
‘सुरक्षाकर्मीले समस्याग्रस्त क्षेत्रमा जनता र आयोजना दुवैको सुरक्षा गर्छ, जलविद्युत आयोजना होस् वा प्रसारण लाइन कुनैमा अब लगानीकर्तालाई हतोत्साहित बनाउने वातावरण बन्नु हुँदैन,' उनले थपिन्।
कटैया–कुशहा १३२ केभी प्रसारण लाइन भारततर्फको ३ किलोमिटर क्षेत्रमा कन्डक्टर (तार) फेर्न भारतले लामो समयदेखि स्वीकृत दिएको थिएन। तर, नरेन्द्र मोदी प्रधानमन्त्री भइसकेपछि उक्त क्षेत्रमा लाइन मर्मत गर्न स्वीकृति दिइएको मन्त्रालयले जनाएको छ। त्यस्तै खिम्ती–ढल्केबार २२० केभी लाइनमा रोकिएका ६ टावर बनाउन सुरक्षा परिचालन गरेर पनि अगाडि बढाउन प्राधिकरणलाई निर्देशन दिइएको छ।
अर्धमन्त्री रामशरण महतले समेत आयोजना तथा प्रसारण प्रणालीका क्षेत्रमा अवरोध गर्ने शैली निषेध गर्ने कार्यक्रम ल्याउन अपरिहार्य रहेको बताए। ‘यो क्षेत्रमा हुने बन्द, हडताल तथा अन्य अवरोधका कार्यक्रम जारी रहे आयोजना बन्न नसक्ने र लोडसेडिङ घटाउने सरकारको योजनासमेत असफल हुनेछ,' उनले भने। अनावश्यक अवरोध हटाएर लगानीमैत्री वातावरण बनाए लक्ष्यअनुसार वैदेशिक लगानी आउने र ठूला प्रसारण लाइन बन्न सक्ने उनले प्रस्ट्याए।
प्रसारण लाइन नहुँदा विगत दुई वर्षदेखि १ सय ४४ मेगावाटको कालीगण्डकी ‘ए', ७० मेगावाटको मध्यमर्स्याङ्दी र ६९ मेगावाटको मर्स्याङ्दीबाट करिब ५० मेगावाट बिजुली खेर जाने गरेको छ। उक्त आयोजनाबाट उत्पादित बिजुली भरतपुरसम्म ल्याएर पूर्व पठाउने लाइन टि्रप (प्याक) भइसकेका छन्। सबै लाइन १३२ केभीका भएकाले लोड बढी भएर तार चुँडिने अवस्था उत्पन्न हुनुभन्दा विद्युतगृहबाट प्राधिकरणले उत्पादन कटौती गर्ने प्राधिकरणको भार प्रेषण केन्द्रका कर्मचारी बताउँछन्।
कार्यदलले बिजुली संकट न्यून गर्न आन्तरिक र अन्तरदेशीय प्रसारण लाइन द्रुत गतिमा निर्माण गर्नुपर्ने र त्यसपछि अन्य विकल्पमा जान सकिने पनि औंल्याएको छ। कार्यदलका सदस्य नारायण चौंलागाइले विद्युत संकट कम गर्न आवश्यक प्रसारण लाइन बनाउने र सहरी क्षेत्रमा सौर्य ऊर्जा विस्तार गर्ने योजना बढी प्राथमिकतामा राखिएको बताए। ‘सहरी क्षेत्रमा सौर्य ऊर्जा विकास गर्न सरकारले अनुदानका कार्यक्रम र अन्य वैकल्पिक ऊर्जाका स्रोतसमेत प्रयोगमा ल्याउनुपर्ने पक्ष प्रतिवेदनमा समेटिएको छ,' उनले भने।
मुआब्जा विवादले एक दशकदेखि खिम्ती–ढल्केबर (डबल सर्किट), २२० केभी हेटौंडा–भरतपुर, भरतपुर–बर्दघाट प्रसारण लाइन प्रभावित भएका छन्। यसैगरी १३२ केभी थानकोट–हरिसिद्धी–भक्तपुर लाइन हरिसिद्धिमा उत्पन्न मुआब्जा विवादले १४ वर्षदेखि अलपत्र परेको छ। स्थानीय मात्रै होइन कतिपय वन क्षेत्रमा सरकारी निकायले नै अवरोध गर्दै आएका छन्।
तामाकोसीबाट काठमाडौं बिजुली ल्याउन बनाउने भनिएको सिंगटी–लामोसाँघु २२० केभी लाइनको सिन्धुपाल्चोकमा बन्ने सबस्टेसनबारे पनि स्थानीय राजनीतिक दल बाँडिएको प्राधिकरणका कर्मचारी बताउँछन्। हेटौंडा–कुलेखानी–मातातिर्थ (काठमाडौं) १३२ केभी (डबल सर्किट) लाइन तान्ने काम विगत ४ वर्षदेखि रोकिएको छ। यस्ता संवेदनशील क्षेत्रमा सरकारले सुरक्षा परिचालन गर्ने निर्णयले यस्ता क्षेत्रमा काम गर्न सहज हुने प्राधिकरणका कर्मचारीको तर्क छ।

अप्ठ्यारोमा पार्ने बिरोध गर्ने राजनीति दलसंग आबद्द नभएका जनताको काम हैन | सबै दलले आफ्ना भेडा बाख्रालाई ( कार्यकर्ता ) यस्ताकाम नगर्न आदेस र आदेशको कार्वानयन गरे सेना को प्रयोग गर्नु पर्ने कुनै आवस्यकता देइखिदैन | हाम्रो देशमा हरेक कुरा लाइ राजनीतिकरण गर्ने र सित्तैमा आउने भएकोले कमाइको मेलो बनाउने चलन अनि ब्यबस्थापन र योजना बिग्य पनि तुरिलाउरे परेका हुनाले हो |
