Recent Developments
In an interview with News 24 TV channel, King Gyanendra stated that he would return as the King of Nepal. Though, he did not state a particular time frame. When asked if he would consider joining politics, he said that he is not a politician. Also, he dismissed the need of referendum on bringing the institution of monarchy back with power. He asserted that since the politicians had not asked the people via a referendum to depose the institution, referendum to bring him back was not needed.
On the same day the Constituent Assembly failed to deliver the constitution and its subsequent expiration, King Gyanendra's website for Nepal Monarchy appeared. Hindustan Times stated "Significantly, it was launched on May 27, the day the CA was dissolved and a day ahead of the fourth anniversary of Gyanendra’s deposition." The website also has a separate blog which many newspapers claimed to have been created by Bollywood actress and Nepal's first democratic prime minister's granddaughter Manisha Koirala.

Famous quotes containing the word developments:
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
