Fair Polls Enhance Freedom Of Choice

Politics is the domain of freedom. In this domain, Nepali leaders issue the manifesto of promises and people demand the fulfillment of their rights. The face of Nepalis glows cheerful either in festivals or in elections. But both appeal to different sides of human faculties. The thrill of festivals is sublime. It enriches cultural delight. But elections are an arena of power play. Its outcome affects everybody’s life. It is perilous when election manifestoes are devoid of any link to public policy and national resources. It foments public frustration and credibility gaps and erodes the efficacy of democracy to lighten the burden of people and lubricate civic culture.
