Elections
There was nothing to hide about the reason
of sudden fall of Oli-led government. Once the CPN-MC realized Oli’s power hunger
that made him undermine the gentlemen’s agreement which had taken place between
him and Pushpa Kamal Dahal, it decided to pull out of the coalition government.
All the previous UML led governments had also faced the same fate due to its
internal feud. Both Madhav Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal’s governments had hardly
survived for one year due to power games played by them. This time, Oli is to
be blamed for his downfall due to his egoistic and arrogant working style.
It is really pity to see the senior leaders
continuing to play self-centred power politics rather than for the nation and
its people. Now, the Dahal-led coalition government backed by NC and other
fringe parties is at the helm. He has started making several promises to the
public to be fulfilled during the next nine months. Let us hope that he will do
it. It was good to see his government’s decision to bring the disgruntled
parties into board by starting addressing their political and constitutional
issues. He should make public his detailed plan of action for the next nine months
and act accordingly. If he failed to prove his political capabilities this
time, he may lose his political credibility and not be able to regain his
popularity in the days to come.
The major task for the Big III is to
implement the new constitution but not to act against each other.
