You can’t only blame Batas for recent scandals; politicians and bureaucrats are also responsible

After winning the House of Representatives election in 2017, lawmaker Rabindra Adhikari wanted to help his friend, Ananda Raj Batas of the Batas Organization and concocted a plan to run a hotel in dharamshala that would ideally house the pilgrims who reached Pashupatinath.

In an interview, Batas said he would not have considered the plan to run the hotel at the Pashupati dharamsala if Adhikari had not told him so.
