Kathmandu. Getting rich is not the main thing, how did you become rich? That’s the main thing. Those who used to blow slippers yesterday are now living a luxurious life in luxurious bungalows, with royal grandeur. Those who said yesterday that ‘I have nothing, in the name of property, a house built on two annas and only two hundred and twenty-five lakh rupees in the bank’ have been burnt. Those who show land in the name of property are taking loans by mortgaging land worth billions of rupees in cooperatives and banks. Moreover, those who say that they have no property, have the same 18-19 tolas of gold left behind by their ancestral grandfathers in the name of ancestral property, go to Thailand and Singapore for treatment. Some of them are like saying ‘leaders in Nepal, home in Singapore, dinner in London, lunch in Dallas’. Today, seeing the rich ministers of the RSP again, they have to cry.

In this way, everyone in this cabinet seems to be rich. Some people have social media, some have a job, and some have ancestral property. It may not matter that this time it is the richest and richest cabinet in the government that has been formed so far. Shouldn’t this be enough to confirm the source of income of those who have bank balances of millions of rupees? That may be your question. Yes, it should. Where did the former prime ministers come from when they showed 5 tolas and 10 tolas of gold to say that they are poor? It’s natural to think so. On the other hand, amassing wealth is not a crime, and it does not mean that politicians should be poor. The point is that the assets earned must be legitimate. And it is also the responsibility of those responsible for running the state to prove the source of wealth.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that those who want to investigate the property of others have to prove the source of income of their property. If the source of income is verified, then it will be according to the law. But it is true that those who entered politics yesterday with slippers will not have to earn a lot by doing corruption. There is no need to ask for commission to earn money, there is no corruption. Therefore, it is okay if we are jealous that we do not indulge in corruption, if we do not ask for commission. Otherwise, the cry of the fool is like saying that the elephant has come, the elephant has come. (Video)
