Politics and expletives

Politics in Nepal has been attracting people from those quarters devoid of any form of modesty.

When the video of a current serving minister spewing expletives went viral a few days ago, it could be said that it reflects the degenerative direction of the nation’s politics. For it seems to be attracting people with the worst etiquette. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue or a gaffe; it was impropriety at its finest. It was clear that such expletives were unbecoming of a person holding the rank of a minister, but not quite surprising for it seems that politics in Nepal has been attracting people from those quarters devoid of any form of modesty, in word or deed.
