Mr Koirala does not need any more pretext for declaring Nepal a republic. A king who should have set an example for the whole citizen is stealing electricity. Shame on folks who support such a blood-sucking king!

If King G's stealing of electricty is an excuse for declaring republic, well....I remember reading Mr. Prachanda stealing a businessman's vehicle!! Girija Prasad Koirala did not come into power through a legitimate mandate. He came into power becasue the country went through an upheavel. He, along with all other part leaders promised to hold a constituent assebly election, which they do not seem capable of doing.
Republic system or any system for that matter is no solution... as long we have these hideous clowns like Madhav, Sher, Girija, and Prachanda (its a long list).... we are doomed.
