Though Nepal has been grappling with multiple difficulties such as the price hike of essential commodities and petroleum products, political leaders and cadres seem to be busy celebrating their victory in the local elections. They are found putting on vermilion on their foreheads as a sign of winning and taking out rallies to spread the message they have won the polls. On the other side, the Nepali people, after casting their votes to the candidates of their choice, have pinned high hopes on their newly-elected representatives that they would dedicate themselves to resolve the problems facing the locals. They can be agents of change as they exercise many exclusive powers.
