KP Oli has become the PM of Nepal for the fourth time.
Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Oli has won the trust vote in the Parliament. In the majority test held on Sunday, KP Oli got support from 188 out of 263 MPs. Whereas 74 MPs voted against the trust vote. Whereas one MP did not vote in favor of anyone.
KP Oli was sworn in as Nepal’s PM for the fourth time on 15 July. Oli, who is considered pro-China, has formed the government with pro-India Sher Bahadur Deuba. Former Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda resigned from his post on 12 July. According to the Kathmandu Post, he failed to get the confidence vote in the Parliament. He could remain Prime Minister for only 1 year and 6 months.
In fact, earlier this month, pro-China KP Sharma Oli’s party CPN-UML broke its alliance with Prime Minister Prachanda’s Communist Party of Nepal. After this, his government came into minority. Under Article 100 (2) of Nepal’s Constitution, he had to prove majority within a month.
He could not do this. In the floor test, he got the support of only 63 out of 275 MPs. 194 MPs of Nepal’s National Assembly voted against him. He needed the support of 138 MPs to save the government.
What impact will Oli becoming the Prime Minister have on India
According to a BBC report, after KP Sharma Oli becomes the Prime Minister, there may be some impact on the relations between India and Nepal. During the KP Oli government, Nepal had released a map of its own which had created controversy.
Nepal released its official map in May 2020, showing Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura areas within Nepal’s border. India had objected to this and refused to accept this map.
This time Nepali Congress is also in the government. This party has good relations with India. Nepali Congress insists on finding a solution to the problem through diplomacy. In such a situation, it is unlikely that the new government will be able to bring much change in the relationship with India.
