Political experts are raising alarms over the potential rebellion as the government faces mounting criticism for ignoring the public concerns. Political instability, frequent changes in leadership, and deceiving citizens have pushed the citizens to the brink, now reaching a critical point. Few political strategists have recommended that political entities consider it before the situation worsens.
When politicians fail to address the needs of the public and even worsen the situation, the primary victim of public frustration aims at political parties. Still, politicians ignore the dissatisfaction of citizens and dismiss the widespread rumors. Meanwhile, most analysts are aware of the untimely outcomes of public frustrations.
During a recent festival celebration, Gaura Parva, Prime Minister Kp Sharma Oli, and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba faced protests from angry youths, disallowing them to deliver their full speech which underscores the public’s discontent with their leadership. Three youths were arrested for chanting slogans against them and released from custody.
In response to the unrest, Oli highlighted the political unrest in Bangladesh and dismissed the probability of a similar situation in Nepal. Some experts, however, believe that ignoring the concerns of people has more possibilities for the same situation in Nepal too. Prime Minister Kp Sharma Oli acknowledges the situation emphasizing the requirement of political parties and government to work efficiently.
Chandra Dev Bhatta, an author with a deep interest in politics, criticizes the government for failing to improve people's lives. “ A person who has to go abroad for employment to support one’s family often develops frustration towards the system of the country. “ Bhatta explains.
Keshav dahal, a political analyst and novelist, warns the public frustration could lead to mass immigration, long term protests and rebellion too.
Rajesh Gautam, a political historian, notes that many people from different sectors are confused and dissatisfied. He suggests that the initial step toward improvement is to identify the issues and only by implementing so , can the country begin to address other underlying problems. Ignoring these issues could lead to further dissatisfaction and hinder progress.
Experts emphasise that instead of dismissing the public's concerns, politicians need to acknowledge and address these issues to abort upcoming problems. Failing to do so could possibly worsen the situation and contribute to even greater instability.
