Why the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) co-chairman Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda needed to recall the agreement between another co-chairman and presently Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli at a time when PM Oli was attending the oath taking ceremony of Indian PM Narendra Modi, it is mysterious.
It is understandable that Prachanda wanted to give the message to the Indian establishment that Oli is just a lame-duck prime minister whose tenure is left only about 15 months. The message Prachanda has given is that he himself is the prime minister in waiting and there is no need to give high-profile treatment to Oli.
This has surely annoyed Oli who is claiming that the present government is there for five years and he will continue as the PM.
When Oli faced journalists’ questions on this when he was in Delhi, obviously, he felt ashamed and responded to the questions saying that if someone will be satisfied, then the government is just for four five days.
He gave a satire by saying this, and this is the level of Nepali psyche.
In fact, at a time, when the executive chief is in a foreign country, it is not ethical of the opposition party to speak against the visiting leader. But Prachanda, the co-chairman of the same party chose to speak on the agreement at a time when PM Oli was in Delhi, which is not considered as a good practice.
Furthermore, the agreement signed by Oli, Prachanda, Bishnu Poudel and Janardan Sharma was made public along with Prachanda’s remarks.
Such acts have made Oli furious and initiated a cold war in between the two leaders. Now, it is expected that they may become active to finish each other, perhaps, this is the strategic plan of the foreign forces to make weak the party, claiming two-thirds majority.
