KP Sharma’s decision to dissolve the Parliament in Nepal signals an unfair draw regarding the continuing conflicting power equations between him and Prachanda Kumar Dahal. This has triggered a tussle at every step as for the reconstitution of the standing and working committee of the Communist Party of Nepal.
Both Parties Accuse Opposition Of Playing Into India’s Hands
As for the familiarity of Oli with the procedures and processes of these committees endorsing Prachanda Kumar Dahal as the natural successor to KP Oli, had Oli not dissolved the Parliament, Prachanda might have progressed ahead with the no-confidence motion.
Canvassing support for his show and strength spoiled the spirit of the declaration draft during the merger of the Communist Party of Nepal and Unified Marxist Leninist in 2018. Maybe, this was for Oli’s self-belief, command, and determination in bringing the warring factions of CPN and UML on the drawing board before the ratification of this declaration.
Both have repeatedly accused each other of playing into India’s hands as Oli’s charge against Dahal tres to destabilize a democratical establishment government of a country. Oli believes that Prachanda proposed and planned his politics at the behest of India’s intelligence agency Research and Wing Analysis (RAW).
“Why Is Oli Playing An Emotive Card?”
KP Oli has been repeatedly pressed the electorate into action by exposing the farce of Prachanda during the Madhesi blockade of 2015. He believes in building his case from anti-India rant and rhetoric by painting Dahal as a benefactor to Indian interests and sentiments.
Why is Oli up playing an emotive card by arousing the emotions and feelings of the people? For a visible calm Dahal, it’s not about creating a power center but seeking a blueprint for an alternative, and this shouldn’t be tempting and troubling for Oli.
Arguments and deliberations already lived up its utility but failed to bring this standstill to a close. How will midterm polls reflect any consensus involving the larger electorate leaving it to the people’s conscience? Whoever it might be, Nepal shouldn’t be pushed back to days of insurgency that could affect its resurrection and revivalism.
