Some Nepali Congress workers of Jhapa district are making fun of the campaign against corruption launched by Shailaja Acharya and Minister Chakra Prasad Bastola.

Raising serious questions about Minister Chakra Prasad Bastola, they have sent a letter to Sanghu for publication. The letter contains names of Simanta Sharma, Ram Uprety,  Keshav Bimali and Sudhir Rajbanshi who are alleged to be involved in several corruption cases. It is said in the Nepalese context launching campaign against corruption by a incumbent minister is like a prostitute posing as a chaste wife to her husband. The letter also asked the minister, to answer the following questions first before he proceeds with the campaign.

How did your wife’s younger brother got the citizenship? Was it not a corruption? Isn’t it corruption when the regional meeting declared you as unfit for the election ticket, was it a morality on your part to claim the ticket?

Why do people take your latest wife as a commission agent? Was not your wife’s younger brother Dilip Sharma a commission agent while he was in Nepal? How many PAs have you in your home and office? Who is your PA? Is it Radhakant or Pramod or Anita or Mahendra or Bikram? If they are not, why do they call themselves as PA?
