While the global countries are scrambling to control and prevent COVID-19, Nepal is reeling under unprecedented political chaos.<\/p>\n
The introduction of two ordinances, the backlog of party unification works, and delay in nominating NCP Vice-Chairman Bam Dev Gautam as NA members are some of the reasons that led to the intra-party disputes in the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP).<\/p>\n
Most party leaders including senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal criticized PM KP Oli for introducing ordinances without consulting the party leaders.<\/p>\n
They exclaimed that PM Oli had brought the ordinances to split his own party with the suspicion that the dissatisfied members in his party were trying to depose him.<\/p>\n
In the need of the hour, the PM Oli called for a Secretariat meeting on April 29, 2020 to deal with the intra-party disputes.<\/p>\n
However, the three-hour-long meeting remained unsettled as the disputed sections in the party could not come to a final decision.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With no other option at his disposal, PM Oli has announced to step down from his position once the coronavirus pandemic gets normal.<\/p>\n
He has offered to make NCP senior leader Bam Dev Gautam <\/strong>the new Prime Minister and Madhav Kumar Nepal<\/strong> the new NCP Chairman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the NCP Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has proposed to make Madhav Kumar Nepal as the New PM.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, there are speculations that the new proposal by PM Oli is aimed at weakening the Dahal-Madhav collaboration.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Madhav and Bam Dev Goutam have decided to join hands with Dahal exclaiming that PM Oli had acted ‘unilaterally’ both in the party and the government.<\/p>\n
With this, PM Oli has fallen into a minority in the Secretariat, Standing Committee and the Parliamentary Party Committee.<\/p>\n
However, Dahal and Madhav factions had initiated a signature campaign respectively to prove their majority in the parliamentary party and oust PM Oli from power.<\/p>\n
The Secretariat consists of nine leaders including-<\/strong><\/p>\n
