The held elections is a great success for Nepal and the Nepalese people. It is a key to the development of peace in the country. Now, as the election has passed more successfully than expected, Nepalese will certainly hope from the political leaders to develop New Nepal. The new constitution to be emended must be able to allocate all citizens, north to south, east to west, Himalayas Hills to Terai plains. Thereafter, the country needs a political revolution after this political evolution. The political revolution has eliminated monarchy. Similarly, the political revolution must eliminate the tag - Poor Country Nepal. Nepal must leap forward towards development leaving away political instability.

Since the political leader of Nepal got enough support from the people, they should now be responsible for the people of Nepal. Education and employment are the two major issue that Nepal government must put on its first priority. The parties should cooperate with each other for the development of peace and prosperity of Nepal. Good luck to all Nepalese.

It is a historic event. People of Nepal have rejected corrupt politicians and "pariwaarbaad". Hope it will give impetus to new politics. Similar, clean sweep is needed in the government. It is almost impossible to build a new Nepal on the foundation of corruption, bhaai-bhatijaabaad, and "chaakari, chukli, chaaplusi, and jaal, jhel, kapat". More responsible and accountable system has to be in place. A new Nepal could not be built just by whitewashing and patching up. A new mentality of responsiveness, accountabilty, efficiency, respect for democracy, nationalism first, etc. are to be developed. Nepalese should feel ownership of Nepal. Thank you.

This is great news that Nepal has very successfully accomplished CA Election after 9 years. Since Maoist being on the top of vote from Nepali the major responsibility lie on them to build new Republic Nepal Constitution. The first major Challenge is how Maoist be able to unified the voice and experience of other party like Congress and Communist, since they are unexpectedly on very minority. Second challenge lies on managing and addressing Madhesh issues that agreed by the interim government including Maoist them self. This emerges as major challenge since Madhesi party being in majority in their province. Third challenge and way out for sustainable peace in Nepal is establishing good governance system and economic empowerment for employment generation particularly for youth fleeing abroad. Lastly managing Maoist revolutionary army now under UN monitoring in cantonment is major challenge for establishing sustainable peace in Nepal.! Lets hope never ending PEACE will be there in Nepal.
