HELLO NEPAL

Is door opened for new political change? PM Oli decided to dissolve the HoR for the second time citing the other parties failed to form new government to replace his government. This was not his surprising political move considering his game plan for the last one year when his own comrades started cornering him for his unilateral and unconstitutional moves.    What could be expected from the new government under the premiership of other senior leaders of the major political parties? What could be the other best options for the PM other than dissolving the HoR once again? Were there not any other doable and better alternatives for the PM to save the HoR at this critical time?

It is very unfortunate to see these senio...

  HoR dissolution, again? It seems that Nepal, in near future, might, either take a new political course or become politically more unstable nation inviting social and political crisis by closely looking at the on-going irresponsible and insensible political activities of senior leaders of the major political parties. Oli was able to lure Madhav Nepal and Company to his side at the final hour of the President’s call for the formation of new government. He was able to give continuity to his government with the same set of ministers making the NC and the Maoist-Centro flat to their heels.    Oli has to seek Vote of Confidence (VoC) from the House of Representatives (HoR) within 30 days from the date of his appointment as the Prime Minister. Also, in accordance with the Constitution, his government is supposed to submit next year’s plan and programme at the HoR by 15 th day of Jestha of every financial year. Looking at the on-going political scenario and time constraint...
