Nepal Covid-19 crisis today is a result of politicians’ endless power games

On Thursday, May 13, the Ministry of Health and Population released a statement that stated 214 people had died due to Covid-19 in the past 24 hours. While the statement was being issued, various political parties and politicians were busy.

They were not busy planning how to save Nepal and its people dying from Covid-19 but with what they were going to do about forming a majority government. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who even though has been in the know about the state of things, chose to spend time trying to make amends with his party leader Madhav Kumar Nepal .
