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.

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

  Self-immolation—the act of setting oneself on fire—is one of the most extreme, painful, and lethal forms of self-harm and suicide. Globally, it represents a profound intersection of psychiatric distress, intense social strain, and political expression. Causes of Self-Immolation: The underlying motivations for self-immolation vary significantly across different regions, cultures, and socioeconomic demographics. ·      Political and Ideological Protest: In Western nations and certain East Asian histories, self-immolation is highly associated with political statement. Individuals use it as a highly visible, shocking public act to draw attention to perceived systemic injustices, war, or government policy. ·      Severe Psychiatric Illness: Globally, a vast majority of individuals who attempt self-immolation suffer from severe, often untreated mental health conditions.

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. 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. This shows a departure from a decade of political instability toward productive governance. It has included first sovereign AI computing centre, doubling of personal income tax exemption thresholds , 21 percent civil servant sal...
