New regime possible in Nepal, says Prachanda

The Hindu  

The annual budget of Nepal will be presented by Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli’s government on Saturday amid political uncertainty caused by the call for change in government given by Mr. Oli’s chief ally, Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’. On Thursday, Mr. Prachanda had said, “Due to the present political situation and the nine-point agreement with the CPN-UML, there is the possibility of forming a new government under my leadership.” A sign of trust deficit The agreement, concluded between Mr. Prachanda’s UCPN-Maoist and Mr. Oli’s CPN-UML, prevented a change in government on May 4 that Mr. Prachanda nearly imposed with the help of the opposition Nepali Congress leader Sher Bahadur Deuba. Mr. Prachanda’s declaration of a change in government, at a press conference in Chitwan district on Thursday, has been interpreted as a sign of trust deficit between him and Mr. Oli. Bargaining manoeuvres Former Prime Minister and ex-Maoist ideologue Baburam Bhattarai says Mr. Prachanda has begun a series of bargaining manoeuvres with Prime Minister Oli and Nepali Congress chief Deuba.
