What are the options facing Girija?
a) Negotiate first for blanket immunity and then
resign. This way, he gets to keep all the Lauda
loot and more.
b) Resign and immediately flee the country,
and spend the rest of his life enjoying his
loot elsewhere.
c) Ask the government to take back the Lauda
case altogether, resign and then retire
happily in Nepal. Nepali Congress, being
intellectally and morally bankrupt as it
is, will no doubt elevate him as a
statesman.
d) Cling on to the post; have the CIAA prove him
to be corrupt; resign in disgrace and possibly
go to jail.
e) Cling on to the post; try to win the case against
CIAA over technicalities, but preside over
increasing chaos, mayhem and destruction . . . and
finally have people rise against him in ways they
did against Marich Man in 1990.
My guess: Girija would choose option A -- both
to save his face and to save his loot.
Finally, those of you who were fooled by
Mahesh Acharya's "moral" resignation a while
ago: well, how moral was that resignation
when Acharya seemed to have no moral qualms
taking back his resignation upon Girija's urging?
Acharya was just playing games.

Ashu, your options are based on the assumptions that there exists
some mechanism to probe, and prosecute dishonest people like
Girija in Nepal.
Even if he resigns,UML or another faction of NC isn't going to
prosecute him.Just as he never prosecuted anybody ,even those
he termed to be corrupt , affiliated with previous governments.
May be option d) is possible. But yet,he is not going to jail.
The most likely scenario is e), and that's all you are going to
see in the future.Or may be that's already the mirror of present
day Nepal.
" d) Cling on to the post; have the CIAA prove him to be corrupt;
resign in disgrace and possibly go to jail.
e) Cling on to the post; try to win the case against
CIAA over technicalities, but preside over increasing chaos,
mayhem and destruction . . . and finally have people rise
against him in ways they did against Marich Man in 1990.
