In pretty interesting political news in the region, veteran Nepali communist leader KP Sharma Oli took an oath as the Prime Minister for the fourth time on Monday. Oli’s appointment was made after the country’s political scenario changed, and the Nepali Congress party, led by Sher Bahadur Deuba, supported the creation of a coalition government.
Soon, Nepali media was abuzz with the news about Oli’s new position as the country’s Prime Minister, and congratulatory messages from the leadership of the Indian political parties followed suit. As X’s popular state leader.
Narendra Modi wished the new head of state of Nepal well, expressing his anticipation for closer cooperation between the two South Asian neighbors. In his opinion, the two have friendly relations that cannot be called anything but very close, friendly, and warm.
The Congress party president, Mallikarjun Kharge, also expressed similar views, stressing the traditional and eternal nature of the relations between India and Nepal, which are that of friendship and partnership.
Oli has been assigned the post of PM, succeeding a relatively volatile period in Nepali politics. He succeeds ex-Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachadora’ after she failed a Motion of no confidence in the House of Representatives on Friday. Oli’s CPI UML, which has the support of 165 lawmakers in a 275-member HoR, has allied with the Nepali Congress to form the new government.
Oli, who is regarded as a friendly president of China, now has the herculean task of restoring political stability to the Himalayan nation after the frequent changes of polarity between political parties that saw the country experience the abolition of monarchy in 2008.
While Nepal is currently operating in these rather stormy waters, the international community, especially India, will be waiting for Oli to turn the nation around and make its course more predictable and successful.
