Alliance without action

A year into office, the coalition is increasingly losing relevance by failing to deliver on its promises.

The Congress-UML coalition, which has completed a year in office, has failed to deliver on one after another promise it made during the formation of the KP Sharma Oli-led government in July last year. The two parties joined hands based on a seven-point agreement that outlined the major objectives of the to-be-formed government. In the agreement, they pledged to control corruption, improve governance, accelerate development activities, and ensure political stability. They also promised to focus on amending the constitution and enacting related laws in order to ensure political stability. On the economic front, the coalition vowed to end the prolonged economic slowdown, create a reliable business environment, and boost economic activities.
