Ahead of confidence motion, Nepal PM Oli reaches out to opposition leader

| @indiablooms | May 07, 2021, at 01:03 pm

Soon after the Oli government in Nepal was reduced to a minority government, Oli reached out to Sher Bahadur Deuba, the leader of the Nepali Congress, a key opposition party, on Wednesday.

The meeting came days before the Oli government’s scheduled confidence motion on 10 May. On Wednesday, the CPN-MC, headed by Dahal, withdrew its support. Also, the opposition parties are discussing plans to dislodge Oli from the post of prime minister.

“We have our priority set. We will fail Oli this time,” Mahat, a general secretary of the Nepali Congress, was quoted as saying by The Kathmandu Post. While, on the other hand, Oli is also exploring the possibility if he could manage to get support from the party.

He has reportedly been in touch with leaders of JSP, another opposition party that remained noncommittal to form a coalition government comprising opposition parties.

While some leaders of the Nepali Congress said the party wouldn’t agree to any power-sharing deal with Oli unless his government falls.

Nepal, which has been witnessing political instability for more than a year now, the current political uncertainties could further deepen the Covid-19 crisis. Governance, and crisis management, have already taken a back seat while the country’s politicians indulged in politicking.
