Prachanda has given his ultimatum to the king: Leave the palace by May 27th or else....
.... or else he will go public with the information that he holds no constitutional power (yet), but he has the supreme moral authority to circumvent all democratic processes and storm into the Royal palace, brandishing his trademark 'Hammer and Sickle' and declare Nepal a Republic. 
Prachanda screaming "Ayo Gurkhali" and charging forward into the palace, suddenly takes a very illegal connotation....
Judge, jury and executioner, that's what Prachanda wants to be. Only dictators are like that, haina ra.... ![]()
His second in command, Dr Babu Ram Bhattrai has already given him implicit approval by saying "You know, Kings used to be beheaded in the past". Isn't Bin Laden's second in command, also a "Dr" ?? Both of them are "Dr Evil" that is all we need to know!!
The Royal palace is no stranger to violence. Recent tragedy has seen the palace drenched in royal blood and we are only too familiar with Prachanda painting the country red, with the blood of 1000s of Nepaliz. Judging by his recent comments, his unquenchable thirst for blood hasn't be vanquished... not until he feasts on the Head Honcho himself ie. the king. ![]()
The symbolic significance of Narayanhiti palace in the heart of Kathmandu, can't be overstated. If it wasn't for the residents of No. 240 Darbar Marg, we would all be wearing Dhotis now.
Its not just global warming but as the political temperature in Nepal heats up abetted by friendly and hostile forces from India, wearing dhotis doesn't seem like such a bad idea after all. ![]()
Maybe, Prachanda has a valid point when he says, he wants to herald Nepal's new dawn by performing a bloody sacrificial rite in the palace.
Nepali tradition allows sacrificial slaughtering when embarking in any new endeavour. So far, only animals have served as gifts to gods, but for this auspicious occassion, and with the "secular" Moaists priests in control, I guess, its OK to have humans sacrificed. 
Its a shame, the monarchy is now a tiny flickering flame, waiting to be snubbed out. The king doesn't seem to have made any attempts to come out fighting like a cornered feral beast.
The King should have learnt from Hillary Clinton's resilence and tenacity as she makes her own last "futile" stand. Forget Rocky Balboa, I have no doubt in my mind, even Rocky Marciano is proud of Hillary.
'Girija his posse' are the true villians of Nepal for all the problems that Prachanda imported into Nepal, and we are not talking about just the Moaist ideology. ![]()
But for too long, the misguided journalists and aficionados of democracy have reprimanded the King and made him a scapegoat.
So to "appease" the new ruler of Nepal, should the King perform his final duty for his country and be the sacrificial goat ???
