Thoughts on politics, society, and current affairs
"The political journey of KP Oli reflects the complex dynamics of Nepalese politics..."
KP Sharma Oli, the former Prime Minister of Nepal, has been a prominent figure in Nepalese politics for decades. His leadership during the 2015 blockade and subsequent handling of the COVID-19 pandemic have been subjects of both praise and criticism.
The current political scenario in Nepal remains volatile, with frequent changes in government and shifting alliances. Oli's Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) continues to play a significant role, though internal divisions have weakened its position.
One of Oli's most controversial decisions was the dissolution of Parliament in 2020, which was later overturned by the Supreme Court. This move was seen by many as an attempt to consolidate power, raising concerns about democratic backsliding in Nepal.
The geopolitical balancing act between India and China remains a key challenge for Nepalese leaders. Oli's tenure saw both closer ties with China and attempts to mend relations with India after the blockade.
