Kathmandu, 23 July: The nation is facing multiple crises due to the spread of coronavirus pandemic. In the meantime, the nation is facing the crisis of natural calamity following floods and landslides caused by the monsoon rains. India has denied resolving the Kalapani-Limpiyadhura territorial dispute through talks. The nation’s economy is seriously ruined by the four-month-long lockdown.
When the nation is fighting against the coronavirus pandemic and other challenges, leaders in the ruling Nepal Communist Party are fighting for power. The party enjoys a virtually two-thirds majority, yet, it seems, the government is not stable.
The ongoing dispute in the party is not related to the ideology of the party but it is based on sharing the power in the government. For last one month, a deadlock has been witnessed in the party since the party standing committee meeting demanded the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. The demand was not included in the standing committee’s agenda.
The deadlock has been witnessed due to the groupings in the party. There are three camps – Oli, Nepal and Dahal. When there will be an alliance between the two camps, one camp will fall into minority.
Presently, Oli is trying to develop an alliance with Pushpakamal Dahal Dahal Prachanda by sidelining the Nepal camp. In the meantime, the Nepal camp has claimed for its share in the government and party as well, which has prolonged the dispute in the party.
The solution is in the hand of Prachanda. Oli has offered the position of executive chairman of the party to Prachanda, whereas, the Nepal camp has proposed for a long-term alliance between Prachanda and Nepal. Prachanda is seen indecisive on which side should he take, writes Madhuudan Rayamajhi in Nepal Samacharpatra daily.
