End political deadlock

The level of frustration of the general people towards the political parties is growing so high which could be detrimental for them in the long run in terms of their political existence. It is the time for the ruling parties to be sensible and sincere in resolving the current political impasse with the disgruntled parties without wasting any more time. It is not only the UDMF now in the streets. The Janajati and other disadvantaged groups have also joined the political struggle thus complicating the political environment for the Oli led government. They have continued their Kathmandu-centric agitation to exert pressure on the government which should not be undermined by the major parties.

If both the ruling and agitating parties continue to argue on constitutional issues, there seem to be dismal chances of coming to consensus in the near future. Simply inviting for talks without doing proper homework will not bring any result. They have already held thirty six rounds of talks, but all in vain. On the other hand, senior leaders of UDMF should also understand that call for rewriting the constitution is next to impossible.

The all party meeting called by PM Oli on Tuesday ended without any concrete conclusion after the UDFM decided to boycott it “UDMF boycotts PM’s all-party meeting” (THT, 25 May, Page 1). It seems that the government has to create a conducive environment by addressing some of their demands.

2083/84 budget at a glance

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.
