PM Prachanda gets overwhelming vote of confidence, what now?

With the Nepali Congress (NC)'s surprise last minute move to give confidence vote to PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda on Tuesday in the parliament, people with even a modicum of interest in Nepali politics are now asking a million dollar question: What now? In Nepali, aba ke hunchha? A news portal has a response to this question: aba ke ke hunchha, ke ke, meaning anything can happen in Nepal.

The question essentially reflects on the fluidity and unpredictability of Nepali politics. Earlier, I hinted at the possibility of NC giving confidence vote to Prachanda government. My prediction was based on media leaking the details of close door meetings between Maoist leader Janardan Sharma and NC top guns including President Sher Bahadur Deuba.
