Babbles: News of the newsmen

By Babbler

One among the three online news portal’s journalist is learnt to have bribed by the PM’s Office to suppress the report on railway track construction bidding even before acquiring land to construct the track.

An online portal, known to be the Khabar Dabali, has reported this interesting report that a deal worth five million rupees was made with the journalist to suppress the report against the construct of the railway track.

Guru Bhattarai, after a setting fixed by PM’s advisors Bishnu Rimal and Surya Thapa, had agreed to provide five million rupees against suppressing the news. The journalist, closed to the ruling party, received 1.5 million rupees in advance. When the very news portal continuously published one after another report on corruption deal, the deal has been exposed.

The journalist received money but didn’t share the amount with the owner. When the report of irregularities started to appear series-wise, the secret deal was exposed.

Wow! Interesting! Perhaps this is called “zero tolerance on corruption”!

The Indian envoy

Indian ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra called on communist leaders Pushpakamal Dahal and Madhav Nepal last week.

It is said that earlier he had met to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli following a request by the later. Oli had requested to make a telephone connection with Indian PM Narendra Modi just to congratulate him on the occasion of the Indian independence day on 15 August. Envoy Kwatra managed a direct telephone conversation between Oli and Modi on 15 August. PM Oli has taken the event as an ice-break on the deadlock of bilateral talks between Nepal and India.

Kwatra felt that after meeting with Oli, Dahal and Nepal could suspect on whether Oli is backed by Delhi again, to make clear about his intention, the envoy is learnt to have met Dahal and Nepal immediately after he met with Oli.

Kwatra so far gave the message to the two leaders that Delhi is not with Oli anymore!

What did Madhav Nepal receive?

It seems, now, the chairmen duo have agreed to move forward together following the report submitted by the six-member task force in the party. According to the report, Oli will run the government and Dahal will run the party. Oli should not tender resignation from any of the posts.

Then what left for Nepal? Just some ministers in the new cabinet and two chief ministers in provinces? Nepal, in fact, is deceived from the task force report. Furthermore, if Dahal will permanently aside with Oli, he can secure the party chairman’s post by cornering Nepal from his desire to become the party chairman.

After all, Oli has secured victory, Dahal has also gained but for Nepal, just a loss!
