New Delhi, Dec 31: The P K Dahal aka Prachanda faction which is at logger heads with Nepal s Prime Minister, K P Oli has said that the only way out of the crisis is for the decision on the dissolution of Parliament being reversed.
Former prime minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal said that the only way the crisis would be resolved is if Oli accepts his mistake.
So far, the team of the Chinese Communist Party has not been able to any headway, with Oli remaining firm on his decision on the dissolution of Parliament. While China has been criticised for interfering in Nepal s internal affairs, the Chinese Communist Party has maintained that its team is in Kathmandu only to deepen relations between the political parties of the two countries.

A tug of war has been underway between India and China over Nepal, India s neighbour to the north, whose unique position has the rival economies vying for its attention.
While Beijing sees Nepal as a bulwark against the international movement targeting China , for New Delhi the Hindu nation is important for the region s security, a buffer, so to speak, against China, and to maintain its sphere of influence.
