Balen Shah's step into the political world was taken casually by many political leaders in the beginning phase but now people's craze and support for him is making huge impact.

Major changes Balen wants to make in Kathmandu 

  1. Reconstruction works of historical monuments without losing is originality and archeological value.
  2. Recognition and Branding of Nepali festivals worldwide. 
  3. Preservations of Durbar, Temples, Dhunge Dhara(traditional stone foundation ), canals, ponds, etc, that carries historical values.
  4. Proper health services and infrastructural Ambulance facilities. 
  5. Underground Train and Metro by studying proper transportation management.
  6. Primary health care Centre in every local areas, wards. 

To wrap it up, Nepali political systems are always unstable and we are seeing ups and down as an eyewitness. Being aa public, we are just observing positive and negative impact of political instability in our basic life due to price hike. All we have is the right is to cast vote and to chose potential candidates and patiently wait for the changes that are to yet to happen. This election has made a huge differences in compare to any other previous election as youth candidates are seeing enthusiastic and eager to do something new for the nation.
