Scary situation



Scary situation

It has not been surprising to hear from the oppositions repeatedly saying that the ruling parties are flexing their political muscle based on the number of their law makers in the CA which might create political polarizations among them hampering the ongoing constitution drafting process. In a meeting with the representatives of Federation of Nepali Journalists recently in his residence, Dahal had opined that the constitution drafting process was in a complicated stage as reported in ”Constitution drafting in a difficult stage, says UCPN-Maoist boss”(THT, 19 Nov. Page 4) due to undermining the past agreements by the ruling parties.



Looking closely at these political situations that are gradually developing in the Nepali politics, the chances of drafting the new constitution within the dead line seem dismal. What happens if the mandated job is not done by the political parties has been the concern of the common people. As claimed by Dahal, is there any possibility of reviving the 1990 constitution? Does this mean that the revival of monarchism is not far from the reality? Does that indicate that the oppositions are loosing their feet on the political grounds? Was he indicating that the chances of political confrontations among the political parties cannot be ruled out? If so, it is yet to see that who wins the political game and who will loose.



The need of the time is that all the political parties rise above their petty and self-centred party politics and create a conducive political environment for coming to consensus on the major issues of the new constitution. If they failed to do so and continue playing blame game, it is for sure that the nation will plunge into political crisis which might ruin all the achievements achieved during second peoples’ movement. Time is running out fast for both the ruling and opposition parties to act sensibly and responsibly for the sake of themselves and the nation.

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development. Huge tax reforms , massive infrastructure allocations, transformative sectoral policies, 7 percent targets on economic growth and inflation capped at 6 per cent are the key aspects of the highly optimistic budget.
