Wasted words

The PM would be advised not to speak if he doesn’t have anything of substance to say.

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli loves giving long speeches. From the halls of the prime minister’s official residence at Baluwatar to party gatherings at various parts of the country, he addresses at least one gathering a day. On Saturday, Oli reached Gokarna Forest Resort to address an event hours after arrival from his five-day Thailand visit. On Sunday, he addressed a big delegation from far-western districts who sought the prime minister’s budgetary support to run Khaptad Engineering Campus in Doti. On Monday, he gave a long speech at an event titled Himalayan Dialogue at Everest Hotel, Baneshwar. Then, the following day, he reached Janakpur to deliver a speech at the Madhesh Provincial Assembly. He also addressed a mass gathering in Siraha district headquarters on the same day–and so on and so forth. He had addressed assemblies in Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces recently.
