#NepoKid trend exposes lavish lifestyles of politicians’ children, sparks debate on accountability

KATHMANDU, Sep 6: A new social media trend, #NepoKid, is gaining momentum among Gen Z users and young Nepalis at home and abroad, as they shine a spotlight on the luxurious lifestyles of children of political leaders. Frustrated by perceived government inaction against corruption, campaigners argue that these displays of wealth reflect gains made through graft and misuse of public resources as ordinary Nepalis struggle with poverty and economic challenges.
