Random yappin

Politics

I had a ride indrive ma yesterday. He jus randomly asked me ki who am i gonna vote for vanera.

He didn't lemme answer "ghanti ta hola hai dai vanyo" I said " khoi dai I'm not sure, aba fptp ko chai independent candidate lai garxu, party ta hernai parxa".

Pretty sure that was the only thing i said tyo moment ma. I started gettin judged ekdam naramro way ma. I've been thinkin bout it for so long, I've gone through mandates party haru ko, ani pretty much they align with our national policies, planned policies haru. I'm still not sure kun party lai vote garney vanera, but by no means it indicates I'm politically illiterate.

So yea let's get back to it. I'm not here to flaunt ma knowledge or anything but he said " dai hajur ley vote nagarey ni farak pardaina hami haru ley uslai jitai halxam ni" I liked that arrogant voice of his. I said " Rsp ley majority lyayo vaney hajur ko hope k xa?''

He mentioned things like balen ley desh ko economy change garxa, production oriented economy lera aauxa. Ani me bein me i agree to pretty much everythin to whatever others say ani i question em at the last.

So i asked him, Hamro country remittance ma yetro dependent xa , kasari yesto xito change aaula ta balen kei palo ma??

He replied, "Balen ho dai, usley saab kura pura garxa" he was really hopeful to how Balens gonna change everything. Not sure if its gonna happen but all i could see was blind loyalty towards balen and somehow RSP.

I asked him where he is from ani he said he was from Chitwan, so i jus blurted absentmindedly "teso vaye vote halna gaisinxa!"

After an awkward silence he said "jadina hola dai, voter card nai xaina ma sanga. Pathao, Indrive gardai din haru janxan" ani he said how hard it is to survive in Kathmandu without workin even a single day but at the end he again mentioned " Dai balen aayesi yesto huna dinna" I could see blind loyalty, i feel like thats how I'd call it.

So yea the ride ended.

He utterly shocked me when he offered me not to pay for the ride but to make sure i vote for RSP. I could see desperation for a change.

I paid him a fair amount and walked off. It amazed me how selfless he was when it came to RSP and Balen, I don't think it was a loyalty towards any single individual but it was a desperate call for help against corruption, Weak transparency mechanism,, Red tape and procedural delays, elite capture, pork barelism, deep state, etc

Well here's the irony part, I'm still unsure who am i gonna vote for.
