By Our Reporter  With the dramatic shift in the ruling coalition two weeks ago, the politics of Nepal entered a new phase. Communists and the parties led by former communists have reached power, while the democratic parties are in opposition. After Maoist Chairman and Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, almost in a guerrilla-style, allied with his former foe K P Sharma Oli by ending the coalition with the Nepali Congress, there is speculation whether the new ruling coalition will give political stability to the country. However, considering the nature of the communist leaders to turn friends and foes at any time, one cannot expect stability until Dahal, Oli and Madahv Kumar Nepal lead the parties with a major role in guiding the present coalition. People have not forgotten the words exchanged by these three leaders after the dissolution of the House by Oli in December 2020. Moreover, the present government has to depend on smaller parties to maintain a majority, but these small parties are not trustworthy. For example, if the Janata Samjwadi Party-Nepal led by Upendra Yadav is as untrustworthy as PM Dahal, Yadav can change his stance at any time. Now that the main opposition Nepali Congress has sought the resignation of Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane for his alleged involvement in embezzling the money of cooperatives. The NC has been obstructing the House of Representatives whenever the Home Minister has a schedule to present a bill. The party even picketed the well. Chitra Bahadur KC of the Rastriya Janamocrha has also demanded Lamichhane's resignation. NC leaders argued that fair investigation in the cases related to embezzlement of the money of cooperatives could be impossible until Lamichhane leads the police administration in the capacity of Home Minister. And if Lamichhane is prevented from tabling any bill in the parliament, he may quit the government which could lead to the fall of the government at any time. Similarly, Maoist leaders may not be happy with Home Minister Lamichhane after the police arrested the vice chairman of the CPN (Maoist Chairman) Krishna Bahadur Mahara in connection to the gold smuggling case. Moreover, the ruling parties may not be able to form new majority governments in Bagmati, Koshi and Gandaki unless they give key positions to the leaders of smaller parties. As such, political stability looks slim under the leadership of the present coalition of the communist parties.
