Sky-high Aspirations After Elections In Nepal Need Best Talent In Country To Deliver: Ranjit Rae

3 months ago 40


Sky-high aspirations after elections in Nepal need best talent in country to deliver: former Ambassador to Nepal, Ranjit Rae, to Karan Thapar for The Wire. ......................................... One of India’s most highly regarded former Ambassadors to Nepal has called the performance of Balendra Shah and his Rashtriya Swatantra Party in Nepal’s recently held elections “an astounding victory”, the scale of which has taken everyone by surprise. He says Balendra Shah in his person bridged the traditional divide in Nepal between the hills and the plains. He presented himself in the Terai as the son of the soil, often speaking in Maithili, and, of course, was very familiar to the hills because he has served as a remarkably successful Mayor of Kathmandu. However, with his huge majority expectations are sky-high. The RSP has committed itself to creating 1.2 million jobs, doubling national income and starting a health insurance for all. Ambassador Rae says the RSP has “very competent leaders” which he called the best talent available in the country. They will need this to deliver on their commitments. Ambassador Rae says: “The Rashtriya Swatantra Party has a bunch of very competent leaders. Well-educated, they have excelled in their own fields. So I think the best talent available in the country is going to be deployed to achieve these economic objectives.” In the interview, Ambassador Rae speaks at length about what he believes will be Balendra Shah’s attitude to India and the Narendra Modi government as well as how he will handle relations with China and USA. Ambassador Rae also speaks about how the Modi government should respond to the new government in Nepal. He suggests that one area of immediate assistance could be to help Nepal, if necessary, evacuate its citizens from the Gulf region. If you want to understand the new government and the challenges it faces in Nepal as well as the sort of relations it will seek to forge with India, China and USA this is an interview I recommend.
