Country has become weak: Ex-King Gyanendra Saha

Expressing concern over the present state of affairs in Nepal, the Himalayan nation’s dethroned king Gyanendra Shah has indicated that he could become active in politics again.Shah has expressed his dissatisfaction with the current leadership, which he dubbed Agasti (power-hungry), saying it was unable to address people’s aspirations.He also said said: “The nation should get rid of the power-ravenous leadership that is only focused on personal gain. With such a leadership, the state has been weakening.” “The very concept of the state has weakened, regional and global politics is on the verge of a new stage,” he said in the statement that indicated he has garnered support from some powerful nation to move ahead.The Nepalese people were losing their patience due to the mismatch between power-ravenous leadership and peoples aspiration, he said. Gyanendra was removed from the Narayanhiti Palace, from where the Shah dynasty resided, in May 2008 after Nepal's newly first Constituent Assembly abolished monarchy and converted the country into a republic.
