Oli faction cripples provincial assemblies to save two chief ministers Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Feb. 22 On January 20, the winter sessions of Province 1 and Bagmati Province commenced. The meetings of the provincial assemblies were called because the constitutional provisions made them mandatory. As per the Constitution of Nepal, there cannot be a gap of more than six months between the two sessions of the assemblies.
However, both the assemblies have failed to hold a single full-fledged meeting. The reason: The Nepal Communist Party faction led by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli does not want it.
Ever since Oli dissolved the House of Representatives on December 20, the Nepal Communist Party has split. One faction is led by Oli and the other by Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal.
