K.P. SHARMA OLI IN TOUGH TALK WITH DIL BHUSAN PATHAK

Nepal’s Parliament  commence discussions on a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s government amidst a last ditch effort by China to stitch up support for him to stay on as Prime Minister. Oli’s divisive and non-accomodative politics is finding no takers. The withdrawal of support by Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN-Maoist Centre Chair Prachanda has propelled a Chinese delegation in Kathmandu these days to reach out in panic to leaders of other political parties like the NC, the CPN-MC and RPP. The plea is to speak in favour of Oli continuing as Prime Minister and vote against the no-confidence motion. In this project, China is extending all sorts of incentives to those who promise to keep Oli in power.
