Looming political turmoil

With the promulgation of the new constitution in 2015, people had expected the nation to embark on the path of political stability, ending its long history of political uncertainty and move ahead on the path towards progress and prosperity. However, despite the clearly spelled out principles and values within the constitutional framework, the nation continues to struggle with the political instability due to irresponsible, insensible and power hungry political acts of senior leaders of major political parties pushing the nation towards social, political and economic crisis. Will it be wrong to say that the national politics has really become a dirty game after the elections of November 20 of 2022? In the last six months, people painfully witnessed the senior leaders and their parties swiftly switching their political partners while forming the coalition government making the nation politically more vulnerable.

The unethical political power game being displaced in the federal coalition government has directly impacted the formation of provincial governments in Koshi province and other provinces which clearly shows the failure of federal structure as it has invited more political instability in the nation “Political turbulence continued in Koshi as the sixth CM is set to be appointed in less than one-and-a-half year” (THT, April10, Page 1). The nation has witnessed 10 Prime Ministers after the country was declared a Federal Democratic Republic in 2008. The ruling and opposition parties seemed to have completely failed to fulfil their responsibility in the parliament making it simply a place for playing blame game thus losing its charm and importance among the common people “NC demands formation of parliamentary probe committee” (THT, March 10, Page 1).
