  13. Honorable Prime Minister,
    Although there is no introduction between us but, you being a remarkable leader every Nepalese people knows you very well. Moreover, at present you have become the Prime minister of the country, that sort, nobody is unknown about you.
    To say in fact, really I am a racist, situationally created. Particularly due to several deplorable and discriminative ruling of Brahman based government over Janajatis has left a standpoint of hatred by the Adivashi JUanajati towards the Brahmins leader and the Bureaucrats.
    I dare to say that i was very much afraid of that in case of Ramchandra Poudel would elected as a Prime minister the nation will push to more deterioration, specially the Adivashi Janajati people. Ramchandra Poudel is quite Brahminist. Fortunately you came out as the Prime minister,with this result, I am very much happy and congratulate you. You are being an intellectual, well qualified , liberal and strong ideology holder, I prefer you.
    I hope, a lot of reformation is awaiting to be done in your regime. Please not to follow the bedrock of the previous rapacious leaders who ruined Nepal to the bottom.
    The main cause of the poverty of the country is the corruption, financial embezzlement and the bribery, no sooner such kinds of tradition should totally be abolished.
    Wishing your good governance without bewildering with the opportunist colleagues and the anti national elements.
