STOP
BOASTING
The Oli-led
government has been facing criticism from all corners for its poor performance;
yet, Oli does not mind boasting about himself and his government’s work (‘Prime
Minister Oli defends govt’s work’, April 6, Page 3). As the saying goes
‘morning shows the day’, it does not seem that his government will be able to fulfil
people’s aspirations. Balancing Nepal’s
relationship with India
and China means
very little if the common people do not have access to fuel and cooking gas.
Oli is already being criticised by the leaders of his own party for poorly running the government and the party. His government has completely failed in curtailing the black marketeering of petroleum products even though the blockade ended two months ago. Even the post-quake reconstruction has still not gained momentum.
Putting long-term
financial burden on the national treasury by splitting the ministries to
accommodate six deputy prime ministers and over thirty-five ministers for the
survival of his government was a big blunder. It will be interesting to see how
long the current government will survive.
