Ram Kumari Jhakri’s claim that Oli didn’t bring any Covid-19 vaccine was false

Ram Kumari Jhakri, a politician associated with the proposed Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Socialist, a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist, speaking on the Yoho Bahas programme aired on August 18 on Yoho TV falsely claimed that Nepal could not import Covid-19 vaccine during the tenure of the erstwhile prime minister KP Sharma Oli.

During the interview, she said Prime Minister Oli issued a ‘pointy map’ of Nepal and hastily inaugurated the Dharahara in an attempt to project himself as a nationalist and development-oriented leader. She also claimed that there was no development project that was started and completed during his tenure.
