[edit] Before I Edited this Page...

It seems like somebody close to Girija is trying to protect his image through wikipedia. You could argue that Girija is a good Prime Minister, crazy as that sounds. But nobody can deny the fact that he is one of the most unpopular people in Nepalese politics.


Support. You can say that again. --who is kushal? 20:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop the vandalism

C'mon guys, let's not behave like kids.

Please watch this talk page in a week. I am going to suggest some changes by then (I hope). I am back. Please go through my efforts and do comment. All comments positive or negative are welcome.


Girija Prasad chor daka Koirala (born 2005) is a contemporary senior# political leader from Nepal who has been prime minister of that country three times, from 1991 to 1994, from 1998 to 1999 and from 2000 until 2001. He was the first democratically elected Prime Minister of Nepal since 1959 when his brother BP Koirala and the Nepali Congress party swept the country's first democratic elections. He is also the President of the Nepali Congress Party. Mr Koirala started his career as a labour leader in the Jute mills of his hometown Biratnagar## and has been active in politics for over sixty years.

He was forced to leave office for the first time in November 1994 because the Nepali Congress was unable to continue a coalition (?) government, and for the third time in July 2001 when he resigned amidst the turmoil following the deaths of many members of the royal family who were apparently killed by the then crown prince.* Mr G.P. Koirala is considered a controversial politician by some people. He has been criticized for quashing dissidence in his party with an iron fist.** His detractors also allege that he has been tolerant of numerous corrupt dealings that occurred under his administrations.*** However, he is commanding the ongoing political movement against the autocratic king of Nepal, Gyanendra.


[[[Major changes]]]: request a broad discussion before implementation

  • Sentence needs some words added to avoid breaching the NPOV. I have often heard serious disagreements from many about the official reasons cited as the culprits of the recent royal massacre. Commentators suggest that the inaction by the RNA in its operation to rescue personnels from the Nepal police abducted in an offensive by the CPN Maoists. I suggest that this reason be cited here as well.
    • So true that I don't think it needs the NPOV rule to be called in.
      • Objection on grounds of being too general, ineffective, inordinate, and lack of citations. [Objection dropped after rereading the passage.]

[[[Suggested minor changes]]]:

  1. Added as a sign of courtesy
    1. I don't know much about the early life of Mr. GP Koirala. Iwould like to have this section expanded. Thank you!
      1. Can the alleged urban legend that Mr. BP Koirala had said that Mr. GP Koirala is unfit for any post beyond that of a 'hawaldar' (a low-ranking police personnel) be added as a trivia on this page?

[[[REQUESTS]]] (?) Unsure if the government was a one-party government or a coalition one. Please refer your sources, if at all possible.



I hope this will start an honest (assume good faith) debate. Thank you. I appreciate your co-operation. Kushal Kushal one 17:31, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Please comment on the changes or I will not be able to implement them. If I am wrong, Please tell me so. Kushal one 18:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if {{Promotional}} applies to this possibly unfree image from CNN's archive. Maybe someone can upload http://www.un.org/av/photo/ga/images/nep.jpg with {{Unimage}} as a temporary replacement. Not as nice a picture, but less of a copyvio. --199.71.174.100 04:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


What is the current status of the image? I don't mean you have to detail in the talk page everything you do, I m just making an inquiry. Thanks --who is kushal? 20:29, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year of birth

The article says 1921, but this official page says 1925. Everyking 11:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, in the absence of evidence to the contrary I really think we should go with what the official page says, so I'm going to change it. Everyking 07:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
