The FNCCI has elected a new President. The election this time was quite historic as it was fought not only in democratic spirit but it had all killing spirits between the contesting panels. It took many years to achieve this grandeur of fighting spirit that got literally demonstrated beyond ballot. It was but natural for the FNCCI electorates to be inspired by the fights surrounding all around them.
The political leaders of the same party and those supposedly following the same principle, if any they have, are fighting cats and dogs. The trade unions are not only fighting with their employers but also between the factions in themselves. A few revolutionary parties have also waged a diplomatic war throwing shoes and pelting stones to some foreign diplomats. Some horrible, oooch! honourable Members of the revered Constituent Assembly(CA) who tried to write constitutional provisions in Red Passports are now fighting legal battles. All apart, the largest party in the CA is more inclined to fight than to write the constitution. To cut it short, there is fight in every spectrum of national life and how can one expect only the business community not to breathe the air from national atmosphere and remain shy of fighting.

In fact, the body fight was the only thing left to make the FNCCI an institution compatible to our true national character. Everybody else in the society raised their fists and waved their legs to kick somebody from home or office but not the chamber members. This was the only gap left in the respectable members of apex chamber of the country to qualify as the national heroes. Now the brave brothers of business fraternity have done the job professionally making everybody feel proud about it. Thus it has been established now that private sectors’ leaders are not differently able or mentally retarded but physically capable and mentally sharp. Not to mention a special ability of the business community to be absolutely spendthrift when chips are actually down. This election was the latest testimony to it. To remind, there was a fight to finish spirit in the money game as well.
The exposition of this purely new quality amongst the business leaders, the true spirit of fighting among others, now ensures high pace of economic growth and prosperity of the nation. The country had remained poor so long only because our business community loathed the fight. Now they are on board and hopes for economic revolution are as high as ever before. Let's take a cue ! The political revolution was possible due to the fact that the politicians always fought like dogs among themselves. If Nepal wants economic revolution as well then the businessmen should also fight like the politicians. Apparently, now on, the Nepali business community will continue to learn from Nepali politics.
The revival of the fighting spirit and money mixing in ballots are indeed great achievements in this direction. Now, the fighting spirit, like in politics, should be able to kill all other spirits like democratic, nationalistic or ethical spirits to name a few. This only will make FNCCI an institution of repute and dignity that suits to twenty-first century national umbrella chamber.
