Baburam Bhattarai's visit to India has been largely criticized by Nepalese. It's the current trending topic in Nepalese twittosphere. While some defend him , majority have been largely offended and disappointed by his move.
Former PM BRB, who is very active in twitter and facebook was heavily panned by his followers in his posts for his hypo-critic behavior. BRB went to New Delhi just after conducting mass rally in Kathmandu to pressurize opposition to draft constitution by consensus. Many sees this as a political lobbying. New Delhi is mecca for our Nepalis politicians after they fail as New Delhi has managed to keep high its influence in Nepali politics. And Dr. Bhattarai is definitely not the first one to do this.
So, why was Dr. Bhattarai called as hypocrite by Nepalese people including some from his own alliance?
Dr. Bhattarai and his comrades of Maoist submitted 40 demands memorandum related to "nationalism, democracy and livelihood" to then PM Sher Bhadaur Deuba. These included abolition of royal privileges, the promulgation of a new constitution by election , and the abrogation of the Mahakali treaty with India which regulated the distribution of water and electricity as well as the delineation of the border between the two countries, banning of Indian vehicles, movies, products in Nepal. Half of the demands were about India's expansionism in Nepal citing as threat to nationality. Sher bahadur Deuba failed to address these demands as most of it were unnecessary and absurd. This is what catalyzed the People's war as Maoist call it that claimed 13,000 lives.
So, after all this Dr.Bhattarai now is in New Delhi asking for political favour and criticizing about its opposition especially UML[biggest commies in Nepal]. If this is not hypocrisy than what is?
Imagine Bin Laden if alive asking for favours with Americans to help him through his political carreer as Taliban leader in Afghanistan. Imagine him giving an open invitation to American government to come and interfere in their internal matter.
Here are few tweets :
"Our comrades , who supposedly fought against "Indian expansionism" in Nepal now openly seeks India's meddling. Great Transformation."
"Washing Nepali politics' dirty linen in Yamuna Ghaat and wallowing in self pity can never yield anything , Comrade. Too sad"
