Nepal’s Prime Minister Balen Shah is once again in the headlines, although this time he has come in the news because of his looks. From being the Mayor of Kathmandu to becoming the Prime Minister, he was seen wearing a black T-shirt, black coat and dark glasses, but this time he was suddenly seen in a completely white look.
Balen Shah posted a photo and video of himself on Facebook and TikTok on May 10, in which he was seen wearing a white shirt, striped trousers and white sneakers. The special thing was that he did not write any caption with this post but within a few minutes the picture went viral. In Nepal, people have started discussing her new style extensively on social media Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
Haven’t given any interview yet
Balen Shah was not seen on public platforms for several days after becoming Prime Minister. He has neither addressed the nation nor given an interview to the media. Nor has he held any press conference. Nevertheless, he has made headlines in the media with his action. According to reports, Balen Shah wants to work silently.
The price of his shoes started being discussed on TikTok. Some people claimed that the Prime Minister’s sneakers cost only 1200 Nepali rupees. TikTok user Leela, while showing the same brand in the video, said that these shoes are going viral only because Balen is wearing them. He is a very simple person. Expensive shoes are not necessary to become Prime Minister.
Was seen in black outfit and sunglasses till now
Let us tell you that clothes and image have always been important in politics. Shah has also been a rapper and performer before, so his understanding of fashion and visual identity is considered a part of his personality. Even when he was the mayor of Kathmandu, he maintained distance from the traditional political dress code. Even in formal events, he was often seen in black outfit and sunglasses.
While taking oath as the Prime Minister, Balen Shah wore the traditional Nepalese dress Daura-Suruwal but its color was also black. Therefore, his sudden appearance in white clothes is giving rise to many political speculations. Experts believe that this change of Shah may not be just a fashion but also a signal.
Balen government is formed in controversies
In recent times, questions have been raised regarding many controversies on the Balen government. He was criticized for his bulldozer action to remove encroachments in Kathmandu, removal of landless people living on river banks and appointment of Chief Justice. In such a situation, some people are seeing her white clothes as an attempt to create a soft image. However, Shah himself has not commented on this change. Many shopkeepers in Nepal have started selling Balen Shah style glasses and shoes.
