Prime Minister Balen Shah Under Fire for Ignoring Parliament, Opposition Alleges Authoritarian Tendencies

Kathmandu. Within the National Independent Party (NIP), which leads the government with a nearly two-thirds majority, Rabi Lamichhane and Balendra (Balen) Shah are the two main leaders. Whether these two leaders will provide political stability to the country for the next five years or will be torn apart by personality clashes remains to be seen. However, many have already started paying attention to this.< /p>

Specifically, Prime Minister Balen Shah has been continuously ignoring the parliament, and opposition parties have started raising strong voices against it. Since taking office, Prime Minister Balen Shah has not addressed the parliament even once. He also did not answer questions raised by MPs on the government's annual policy and program. Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle answered the questions raised on the policy and program instead of him.< /p>
