What Is Gachhedar Thinking?
http://demrepubnepal.blogspot.com/2009/06/what-is-gachhedar-thinking.html

The guy managed to engineer a vertical split in the MJF flouting all
norms of parliamentary democracy. Madhav Nepal could not even have
appointed people from his own party into the government before his
party decided, but he went ahead and appointed Gachhedar against
Gachhedar's party's official stand which at that point was to take
part in the government in a way that both Yadav and Gachhedar get
powerful ministries.

At best he now has about 25 MPs. And he is asking for five ministries
including Home. A unified MJF could have got five ministries, Home
included. But by now Gachhedar has become a joke. Girija Koirala and
Madhav Nepal used him and discarded him.

The party is still not officially split. There still is time. He and
Upendra Yadav should meet in person and sort out their differences.
But since all the plum portfolios have already been taken by the NC
and the UML, the MJF has only one option left: stay outside the
government, support it from the outside. Gachhedar now gets to resign
because he can't be the only MJF person in the government.

Now is an opportunity to engage in party building activities. If the
UML-NC government does not deliver, in a few months it might be time
for a Maoist-MJF government with support from many small parties. At
that point the MJF can get DPM and Foreign Affairs for Yadav and Home
for Gachhedar. Right now is not a good time for the MJF to get into
government.

This is what is going to happen. The NC and the UML are going to drag
their feet on two mega issues:

* Security Sector Reform.
* Federalism.

Then the Maoists and the MJF are not going to have any option left
except pull them out of power. A Maoist-MJF-TMDP-SP government is
going to become possible.

* Maoists 229
* MJF 54
* TMDP 21
* SP 9
* Total 313

Gachhedar overplayed his hand. Now he needs to wake up to the reality
and start making sense.

Perhaps the TMDP and the SP should also support this government from
the outside. It is only a matter of a few short months. They have not
been consulted on portfolio division either.

Upendra Yadav's Leadership Style: Much Is Lacking

Upendra Yadav must work on his leadership style. He does not consult
enough. He should, as the leader of the party, be constantly
consulting with all of his MPs and all members of his central
committee on all issues big and small. That is on top of holding
regular meetings of the parliamentary party and the central committee,
and their various committees. And he should stay in daily touch with
the top five or 10 leaders in the party. When in person is not
possible, he should do it by phone. If he cultivates this style, it
will be rare when the party president's viewpoint is different from
majority opinion inside the party. He should also consult with the
district leaders of his party on a monthly basis. He should invite
them over to Kathmandu regularly. He should go visit them in their
district offices.
