Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah. Very active on social media. Balen is the heartbeat of the youth. In fact, there is talk that Balen is the main center of violence in Nepal. Balen is the favorite leader of Nepali youth. Balen is completely different from all the mayors in the country. Balen’s influence on the people is so great that he has found a place in Time Magazine or among the 100 most influential people in The New York Times. He has a lot of influence internationally.
He has crores of followers on social media. His posts on social media have often created debates. It would not be wrong to say that his lifestyle, style and everything are a role model for Nepali youth. Balen has hijacked this big movement going on in Nepal by supporting it. This is such a discussion.
Balen started his career as a civil engineer. Later, he tried his luck as a rapper. Later, he entered politics and contested for the post of mayor of Kathmandu and won by a huge margin. His unexpected success in politics, popularity among the youth, and the youth’s disillusionment with the traditional political parties gave Balen mileage and made him a hero.
Balen started the #Nepokid trend on social media against the luxurious lifestyle of the children of politicians in Nepal. After that, local leaders and ministers tried to control social media, which was strongly opposed by the Nepali youth. Along with this, Balen also came into the limelight by opposing a certain dialogue in the film ‘Adi Utkar’, which is based on the Ramayana. Now, the Nepali youth are demanding that he be installed in the country’s ruling party.
