Even in the times of kings and Rana rulers, some would steal the people’s money. But they feared the gods even if they intimidated the people. But lately, especially since the abolition of the monarchy, they have been free to indulge without restraint. It seems like a final feast, a national event, running uninterrupted! There is unprecedented unity in gobbling up the people’s money and the state’s scarce resources. There are no party differences in this; there is camaraderie and friendliness. Who dares to stop it or hinder it?
