Result of hasty union of the then UML and Maoist (Centre)

Politically, Nepal is passing through an uncertainty, unstable and unhealthy environment for the last over seven months due to the power struggle between the two chairpersons of the Nepali Communist Party (NCP). Both of them do not want to budge an inch from their blame game which does not seem ending easily unless one of them is knocked down by their own foes. Oli does not seem to easily give up his stands, no resignations from both PM and Party chairperson as demanded by his rivalries. Dahal, the other chairpersons, has been the main game player who thinks to be in the majority in the Standing Committee and continues to challenge Oli blaming him incapable of running the party and the government. In reality, both the then UML and the then Maoist (Centre) leaders do not want split the NCP for their political interests and personal benefits.

This on-going power tussle between the two chairpersons has undermined the credibility of the party and its government. In fact, the NCP’s almost two-thirds majority government has not been able to deliver basic services to the people during the last three years. In other words, this government has completely failed in driving the nation towards development and prosperity. As a result, the people have started coming out to the streets demanding political changes.

It is yet to be seen how the two chairpersons and the NCP as a whole are going to settle their on-going internal political feud and calm down the on-going street protests.

“We are stuck,” said Chakrapani Khanal, a Standing Committee member and former minister. “It’s true that the party is hanging in the balance.”

When the party held its Standing Committee meeting on Sunday, the Dahal faction, backed by Madhav Kumar Nepal, Jhala Nath Khanal and Bamdev Gautam, appeared to be clearly in a position to call the shots.
