Why KP Sharma Oli is behaving as though he is the state

Ever since Oli dissolved the House, all his statements have revolved around ‘I, me and myself’, as he has shown utter disregard for the checks and balances.

Louis XIV who ruled France with absolutism expressed the spirit of power he wielded with the phrase “L’État, c’est moi,” or “I am the state.” Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who has been prime minister for about three years now, seems to be guided by roughly the same idea.
