Saving the Achievement of Gen Z Movement

The new Sushila Karki government is struggling to gain direction even after a month in office. The youth-led Gen Z rebellion, despite being hugely successful in bringing a new political atmosphere, has now been accused of division, with various groups of Gen Z pulling the government in multiple directions. The new generation displayed unprecedented unity and bravery, with more than two dozen people giving their lives for a corruption-free society. But the youths are now split on political representation and power-sharing. But the discord among youth members began when Prime Minister Karki attempted to add some youthful representation from the Gen Z movement to her cabinet. Reports suggested four names, Ramji Ram, Ganapati Lal Shrestha, Bablu Gupta, and Tashi Lhazom; all of them having some credentials will be included in the cabinet. These nominations, however, brought an uproar. Senior Gen Z activist Miraj Dhungana questioned their authenticity, wondering who among them represented the movement and who had authorized them to be nominated. His statement reflected a growing belief among most Gen Z members that bureaucrats and politicians who are disconnected from the revolution have hijacked their movement. This has put PM Karki in an awkward situation.
