A case of political déjà vu

Unfortunately, for the people of Nepal, we are entrapped in a maze of instability.

The last few months have been tumultuous for the nation, with the country experiencing widespread deaths due to Covid-19 coupled with political impasses. Since early 2020 former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had been a target of the neo-elites of Kathmandu, be it Twitter or print and digital media. One of the significant reasons was his mannerism at the helm of affairs. Oli was alleged to have not been consultative and democratic within the party. He was accused of making parliament inconsequential, and he has been attributed the blame for destroying the institutions of the state like the concentrating powers with the prime minister’s office, resisting devolution of powers to the provinces etc.
