Er. Balen Shah on Politics of Nepal: Key points by Rapper/Engineer Balen Shah for Change
After the announcement of the candidate for Kathmandu Mayor, Balen Shah says during the podcast On Air With Sanjay:
There is money when I sing, there is money when I design, there is money when I supervise, there is money when I do construction, and there is money when I do an endorsement. Not for the money. And I’m already doing music for the name, people are listening to the song.
What is it for? I was taught as a child not to need a position to serve, to work, than to be taught by my teachers, but I was not taught that you can’t see incompetents in that position, but now I feel it!.
Well, I don’t need a position to work, I am still working, but I can’t see an unworthy person sitting in that position, that too is a sin. It is a mistake to keep silent even after seeing that.
Why did I have to suffer so much to be kept there or a good person? I didn’t even have to worry about it. If there was a mayor like us who could do all the work of keeping good people there, then why did I have to go?
In Kathmandu, if Balen Shah wins:
- In tomorrow’s parliamentary and state elections, many Balen Shahs will be ready to fight and win.
- Many will leave the party, not enter. This will lead to new polarization in society.
From 2047 BS to 2079 BS, the same abusive allegations will come to an end. - The arrogance of the leader who thinks that the Nepali people are only party workers and enslaves the people will end.
- The power of an independent citizen will be tested for the first time.
- From now on, the party will field candidates on the basis of merit rather than money, family, kinship, capitalism, etc.
- The youth will be engaged in the development of qualifications rather than being a part of the party and the country will take the right path.
- So this is a sign of change in Balen’s candidacy. Let’s not let it go out, let’s wake up. This is a kind of revolution.
Mission, Vision and Strategy of Balen Shah:
One of the reasons for the failed education system in our country is not being able to make others understand due to our attitude and non-practical Nature.
We need No vehicle zones and cycle lanes. Each ward needs a sports club for which funding should be done so that sport gets developed and children don’t get involved in other bad habits.
Waste management needs to start by segregating dry and wet. More than 600 metric tons of waste are collected from Kathmandu every day which could be used to generate electricity, Fertilizer and fuels.
While doing the reconstruction works of historical monuments in Kathmandu, proper study needs to be done so that originality and archaeological value are not lost.
If we could celebrate days like Kukur Tihar on a Global level and do branding of this festival, Nepal could receive huge recognition in the world.
Preservation of Temples, Stupas, Dhunge Dhara, Rajkulo, Ponds, and promotion of Indrajatra on every level.Introduction of Call centres for proper service of Health and Infrastructure ambulances.
Discussion regarding Train and Metro in Kathmandu is done but we need to think of proper transportation management first. Development of Primary health care centres in every ward etc.
