Twist in Nepal poses a new challenge to India

Hindustan Times  

The November 20 elections have turned out to be one of high drama, even by Nepal’s standards of quick political turn-arounds. As the 5 pm deadline to stake claim for premiership approached, the chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal, Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda”, ditched the Nepali Congress and decided to shake hands with Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli, the chairman of the main opposition Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist, to become the prime minister, a position denied to him by Deuba. Second, though Nepal’s constitution does not permit a motion of no-confidence against the PM for two years once he gets through one, Prachanda will be required to seek a confidence vote even if a single party in the ruling coalition withdraws from the government. On the other hand, three other coalition partners — the Janata Samajbadi Party, Nagarik Unmukti Party and Janamat Party — are all Tarai-based and stand unequivocally in favour of federalism, much like the PM’s party. President Xi Jinping’s re-election for a third five-year term as the leader of the CCP and his advocacy of the party’s resolutely increased role in the polity could bring Nepal’s Communist parties even closer to Beijing.
