People are fed up

Undemocratic practices have been the hallmark of politicians across parties.

As the court verdict on the House dissolution nears, the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-Madhav Kumar Nepal faction of the Nepal Communist Party appears more desperate than ever. The Election Commission remains undecided regarding the split of the ruling party. Their series of ‘show of strength’ demonstrations in the capital have failed to garner much public support, and instead provoked ire for disrupting daily life. Proposals sent to the Nepali Congress and Janata Samajbadi Party for a joint movement have been snubbed. Civil society, which has been holding parallel demonstrations against the House dissolution, has questioned the intentions of the political parties and opted out.
