Elections

There was nothing to hide about the reason of sudden fall of Oli-led government. Once the CPN-MC realized Oli’s power hunger that made him undermine the gentlemen’s agreement which had taken place between him and Pushpa Kamal Dahal, it decided to pull out of the coalition government. All the previous UML led governments had also faced the same fate due to its internal feud. Both Madhav Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal’s governments had hardly survived for one year due to power games played by them. This time, Oli is to be blamed for his downfall due to his egoistic and arrogant working style.

It is really pity to see the senior leaders continuing to play self-centred power politics rather than for the nation and its people. Now, the Dahal-led coalition government backed by NC and other fringe parties is at the helm. He has started making several promises to the public to be fulfilled during the next nine months. Let us hope that he will do it. It was good to see his government’s decision to bring the disgruntled parties into board by starting addressing their political and constitutional issues. He should make public his detailed plan of action for the next nine months and act accordingly. If he failed to prove his political capabilities this time, he may lose his political credibility and not be able to regain his popularity in the days to come.

The major task for the Big III is to implement the new constitution but not to act against each other.
