Who knows politically what happens next?

The present political situation of Nepal seems to be heading towards either a complete mess that might go beyond the Oli led government’s control inviting political and social chaos in the capital and other parts of the country or the government would be forced to take strong and bold action against the Prachand- Madhav Nepal faction senior leaders for their past wrongdoings if they continued to disrupt the traffic and challenge the government. Unless the Supreme Court gives its verdict on the HoR dissolution, it does not seem that the NCP rival faction will give up its street protest.

The other political parties, Nepal Congress (NC) and Janata Samajwadi Party-Nepal (JSP-N) are still undecided whether to join hands with Prachand-Madhav faction in their street protest program against the HoR dissolution although both the NC and JSP-N have been separately protesting against the HoR dissolution. My personal opinion for the NC and JSP-N would be not to join hands with the NCP faction in their street protest but to wait for the SC’s verdict. However, looking closely at these two parties’ past political activities, they might change their minds. Who knows? HELLO NEPAL

NC, JSP-N not keen on joint struggle

Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal-led Nepal Communist Party has repeatedly asked the Nepali Congress to join hands in a joint struggle against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s decision to dissolve the House of Representatives but the NC is still undecided.

NC General Secretary Purna Bahadur Khadka, who is close to party President Sher Bahadur Deuba, said the party had been protesting against the dissolution of the HoR and there was no question of a joint struggle.

The Fragile Majority of Balen Shah’s Government

Whether the Balendra "Balen" Shah -led government will complete its full five-year term seems mathematically and politically viable but remains uncertain. His Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) holds a strong majority with 182 out of 275 seats in the House of Representatives (HOR). This gives his government a strong political holding and leads the country with a comfortable majority to fulfil its objectives and mission. However, the smooth administration and timely and successful implementation of development activities as desired by his government depends totally on the traditional bureaucratic system which could threaten its stability and political uncertainty. Key Factors Threatening Longevity Internal Party Dissent: It recently completed 100 days its term, several ruling party lawmakers began publicly criticizing Prime Minister Shah's rigid leadership style and the government's policy execution. Institutional Resistance: The administration's sweeping 100-...
