KATHMANDU, Dec 11: CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli said on Thursday that the results of his recent meeting with Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba will become clear “within a few days.”
Speaking at an editors’ interaction organized by Press Chautari Nepal in Kathmandu on Thursday, Oli said the two leaders held “a formal and meaningful discussion” on the country’s evolving political situation. “We had a proper conversation, a substantive one — its outcome will appear soon,” he said.
Oli dismissed the current government as lacking any legal standing, describing it as a “pasted-together administration” with neither foundation nor legitimacy. “It is a government someone simply stuck together, like plastering a snake poster with cow dung during Nag Panchami,” he remarked, adding that he is still searching for “who exactly pasted this government into place.”
He also derided the agreement reached between the government and the Gen Z movement, calling it an “artless drama” that ended just as artlessly. A government that has not received a mandate from the public, he said, has no authority to negotiate on behalf of the system.
Oli argued that the House of Representatives — dissolved on the recommendation of “an unauthorized individual acting without due process” — must be reinstated. He insisted the Supreme Court has no constitutional alternative but to restore the House.
Calling both the UML and the Nepali Congress historic parties with deep public roots, Oli said temporary political clouds have kept the two outside the government for now. However, he claimed the two major parties would once again come together to steer the country.
Oli further criticized the explosion of political parties in Nepal, saying the presence of 143 registered parties in a country like Nepal has become “a crude joke,” driven by personal ambitions and attempts to evade accountability rather than genuine political conviction.
