Nov 29,Kathmandu: Promoting relatives and relatives in politics rather than political ability and contribution is not new in Nepali political culture.
In this year's House of Representatives(HoR) and State Assembly elections, many who won tickets based on access have been defeated, while some unexpected characters have emerged. Convicted in the Tikapur incident, ex-MP Resham Chaudhary's wife Ranjita Shrestha and father Lalbir Chaudhary will meet in Parliament.
Father-in-law, the daughter-in-law, a candidate from Civil Liberation Party, has won the election by getting unprecedented votes from Kailali and Bardia. Gangaram and Kiran Chaudhary of the Chaudhary family have been awarded the title of MP.
CPN-Maoist Center Chairman Dahal who has decided to contest elections from Chitwan-3 and reached Gorkha overnight has come to a complete halt in his journey to Parliament without his Daughter-In-Law.
\But the younger son-in-law Jeevan Acharya has been removed by the voters. He is the husband of Acharya's daughter Ganga, who was elected member of the provincial assembly from Morang area no.-6 'A'.
Bargaining with the Maoist Center to make former Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai's daughter Manushi Yami Bhattarai an MP has finally failed. The voters of Kathmandu 7 have rejected the politics of inheritance.
Bidya Bhattarai, the cousin of the late UML leader Rabindra Adhikari has been sent to parliament for the second time by the voters of Pokhara- 2. Although Vidya was active in politics during his student life.
The cycle of nepotism and nepotism does not stop there. Prime Minister and Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba have won from Dadeldhura for the seventh time, while his wife Arju Rana is a proportional candidate for the member of the HoR.
Home Minister Balkrishna Khand was defeated as a member of the HoR from Rupandehi-3, but his wife Manju Khan's MP position is safe. Education Minister Devendra Poudel was elected to the HoR from Baglung-2. Paudel's wife Balawati Sharma Paudel is at the forefront of proportional candidacy.
The names of Gyanu Basnet and Narayani Sharma, sisters of Maoist center leaders Shakti Basnet and Janardhan Sharma respectively, are reserved in the proportional list for members of the HoR.
Similarly, Janata Samajwadi Party leader Ashok Kumar Rai became a candidate for the HoR from Sunsari-1, and his wife Sushila Shrestha is a proportional candidate. Maoist Center leader Barshman Pun was elected as a member of the HoR from Rolpa, while his wife Onsari Gharti was defeated from Kathmandu-2.
UML Candidate Raghuveer Mahaseth Dhanusha Constituency. He has lost from 4 to the member of the HoR. His wife Julikumari Mahato, the candidate from Dhanusha-3 has won. Similarly, the name of Meenakshi Thakur, daughter of Mahanth Thakur, president of the Democratic Socialist Party of Nepal, is in the proportional list
. Elderly leader Thakur has been won by the voters from Mahottari 3. The name of Menaka Kumari Pokharel, sister of UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel, who was defeated in the direct election, is in the proportional quota list.
Among the three Koiralas Shekhar, Sashank, and Sujata of the last generation who grew up in the legacy of three brothers Matrikaprasad, Bishweshwar Prasad, and Girijaprasad Koiralas who became the Prime Minister, only Shekhar and Sashank have been opened to Parliament. Contemporary politics, criticized by the hypnosis of blood relations rather than faith, could not find salvation in this election either.
