Political leaders of Nepal is not serious about the development of Nepal. I have been more than 30years development work experiences through NGO. My bad experience is Political parties and leaders and workers are obstacle for development of Nepal. They disturb to NGOs and private sectors. I have many experiences. Thus political leaders and workers must change their attitudes and behaviors. They must be positive and supporter.
