No End To Transactional Politics

President Bidya Devi Bhandari has invited political parties the other day to present their claims for the formation of the new government according to Article 76 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal citing that no single party had garnered majority in the parliament to form the government on singular strength. In the elections held for the 275-member national parliament last month, the Nepali Congress bagged 89 seats and thus emerged as the largest party whereas CPN-UML has been reduced to the runner up status with 78 seats.
