Oli’s dissolution of House exposes the fault lines in Nepali Congress

Party President Deuba’s detractors accuse him of being soft on Oli and say that continuous agitation is needed, if the House is not restored, so that the government is compelled to hold elections on announced dates.

The Nepal Communist Party has been split following its chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s unilateral decision to dissolve the House of Representatives on Sunday.
