I think most educated Nepalese people were excited about the new Bibeksheel party when it was formed. But now more than a year later they have vastly under performed compared to the hype that was created in the beginning.

They don't have charismatic leader. Their delivery of speech isn't that great. Campaigning on auto rickshaw wasn't a great idea and the mascot "dog" was dumb. May be they are doing great job with social and volunteer work but if they want to come into mainstream politics they have to do better job of recruitment and networking. I hate to say this but what Baburam Bhattarai is doing right now is a smart move . Bibeksheel should have aggressively done that long time ago to prepare themselves for upcoming election. It's not too late now but it's getting late if they want to revamp their campaigning and start making party policy and agenda and connecting with youths

Also they took some hit when their leader Ujjwal or somebody made a comment about Madhesh Andolan and people start labeling them as Indian agent too.

नेपालमा प्रगति गर्न चोर बुद्धि नै लाउनु पर्छ | सिधा औलाले नेपालमा सिन्को जत्तिको घिउ पनि निक्लिदैन |

They are nice people, they are lacking money just my guess
They have to use Arvind kejriwal's strategy they will rock again.

• Lack of proper leadership. (Personally, I get irritated with that dariwala face). We need someone with charisma.
• Lack of agenda (No 'clear' differences between 'mainstream' parties and BNP. Their documents are good. Oh well, who got time to read that?)
• Lack of proper advertisement and/or awareness. Get media's attention and if not pay them (This is where they need fund for).
• They were unable to justify why they had independent candidates against those of 'NC only' on last election. This labelled them as 'anti-NC only' and/or puppet of communists. In place like Nepal, it is very hard to come out of this sort of allegation.

kalikopoi your last point is only a conspiracy theory. First time i'm hearing this.

It may all be tied to funding. The corrupt ones have a lot of money to spend. The straightforward ones dont' have enough money to get enough coverage.

FUNDING !!!!!!!

Be it murica or nepal ...its all about the money lebonski..

What specific move(s) of Baburam Bhattarai are you talking about?

"I hate to say this but what Baburam Bhattarai is doing right now is a smart move"

What aspect has made you think they have not succeeded?
Do you know how long it takes a political party to be successful? Look at one of the powerful movement funded heavily by different interest groups - Maoist, it took nearly 20 years to show some results.
It takes time buddy, you just need patience.

Honestly their agenda is completely different than existing political parties, They are not doing hate politics that makes them slower for sure. In nepal all those traditional political parties have been doing hate politics for nearly 6 decades, which was the easier one but now a real politics is in dire need in Nepal.

Do you know what was their stand on madhesh issue that made them Indian agent? Dont just BS around please.

Please read this if you want to know what stops a positive force from leading nepal, you will be surprised to learn.

only one formula, stand up against corruption, mobilize young talents against corruption with different means of technology, they are already in the market, they just need to win more public trust doing different things which other parties can not do.

I wasn't disagreeing with anyone. I am very much in support of a transformative, positive political change and leadership in Nepal.

I just wanted to understand what specific moves of Baburam we were talking about, as I haven't been following Nepal politics lately. Is there a website his team maintains with his vision, strategy and timeline of his Naya shakti? Is he joining hands with Rabindra Mishra, Swarnim Wagle etc for his new party?

Most of the educated people in Nepal are corrupt to the core, far more than uneducated ones. The name of party itself is very arrogant and repulsive for people who is not interested in politics and the who is not interested in boasting "look I am bibeksheel". Most likely they made party because they wanted to be leader overnight without working with common people.

@mangale

You seem to be looking into presentation aspect. Can mascots be "dumb" ?

Ujwaal Thapa from Bibekshil party has joined the new party of Baburam. I watched this news on Nagariknews.com ......

'नयाँ शक्ति निर्माण अभियान' मा रहेका डा. बाबुराम भट्टराईलाई नेपाली कांग्रेसका केन्द्रीय सदस्य एवं सांसद प्रदीप गिरीदेखि पूर्व अर्थसचिव रामेश्वर खनाल र विवेकशील नेपालीका अध्यक्ष उज्वल थापासम्मले साथ दिने भएका छन्

The way Baburam is recruiting people, the way he is traveling across the country, the way he is establishing contacts in each district, the way he is organizing meeting, I think he is getting people together. Those people seems to be from various backgrounds. Former leaders, youths, educated bunch, engineers, doctors, economists etc. I think that's smart move. The media is covering it well. I didn't see that coming from Bibeksheel party. That's the smart move I was talking about.

Update:

भट्टराईसँग मिल्न लागेका होइनौं : विवेकशील

काठमाडौं— बाबुराम भट्टराईको नयाँ शक्ति अभियानमा विवेकशील नेपाली दल एकीकरण हुन लागेको भन्ने चर्चालाई सो पार्टीले खण्डन गरेको छ। पार्टी प्रवक्ता रमेश पौड्यालले एक विज्ञप्ति जारी गर्दै अस्तित्वमै नआइसकेको कुनै समूहसँग मिल्न नसकिने बताएका छन्।

'विगत ३ बर्षको हाम्रो अनुभव एवं घोषित मूल्य र मान्यतालाई अलपत्र छोडेर अस्तित्वमा नै नआईसकेका कुनै पनि समूहसंग मिल्ने कुनै सवाल नै आउँदैन', विज्ञप्तिमा भनिएको छ।

बुधबार भट्टराईले आयोजना गर्नुभएको छलफल कार्यक्रम मा विवेकशील नेपाली दलका तर्फबाट प्रतिनिधित्व भएको थियो। नयाँ बैकल्पिक राजनीतिक शक्तिको औचित्य र आवश्यकता, नयाँ शक्ति पक्षधर बीच सहकार्य तथा नयाँ शक्तिहरुको कोर एजेन्डा र संगठनात्मक स्वरुप र प्रकिया शीर्षकमा भएको छलफलपछि विवकेशील नेपाल भट्टराईको अभियानसँग विलय हुन लागेको आसयका समाचार आएका थिए।

माअाेवादी जनयुद्धको पृष्ठभूमिबाट आएका भट्टराईतर्फ संकेत गर्दै विवेकशीलले आफू 'अहिंसावादी राजनीतिमा अडिग शक्ति' भएको उल्लेख गरेको छ।

'एउटा राजनीतिक दलका रूपमा समाजका क्रियाशील अरु राजनीतिक दल, समूह वा व्यक्तिहरुसंग भेटघाट र छलफल गर्नु स्वाभाविक प्रक्रिया हो', विज्ञप्तिमा भनिएको छ,'नेपालमा नया शक्ति निर्माणको अभियानमा विवेकशील नेपाली दलको लामो अनुभब छ। हाम्रा बिचार र व्यवहारलाई पोजिटिभ भाईरस जसरी समाजमा बिस्तार गर्नु पर्दछ भन्ने हाम्रो मान्यता हो।'

They will never get to their goal by siding with BRB who was instrumental in killing 15000 people. Killing is not bibeksheel so they should stay away from BRB.

@KaliKoPoi

Lack of proper leadership. (Personally, I get irritated with that dariwala face). We need someone with charisma.
-Waiting for another Budhda/Nelson Mandela/Obama? What a reason you get irritated with that dariwala face - man come on, you can do better than that.

Lack of agenda (No 'clear' differences between 'mainstream' parties and BNP. Their documents are good. Oh well, who got time to read that?)
Seriously? No clear difference? Please ducate yourself by going here http://leadnepal.com/ideology/
mainstream politics does not even have any agenda other than hate politics, just get you local tharra Chhoyala and maasu and get vote. Show a poor guy the 3 storied building and tell him that if you fight for it they will help him get it, tehi haina? Is that even agenda?

Lack of proper advertisement and/or awareness. Get media's attention and if not pay them (This is where they need fund for).
-This seems valid point you have raised

They were unable to justify why they had independent candidates against those of 'NC only' on last election. This labelled them as 'anti-NC only' and/or puppet of communists. In place like Nepal, it is very hard to come out of this sort of allegation.
-Dude they ran against NC, UML and Maoist Please do some research before you write because you don't want to look stupid.
