KATHMANDU, Aug 16: CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has described the current government as a “puppet” and “unconstitutional” government.
Oli made the remarks while accusing the current government of taking the country in the wrong direction. He said the government had been formed artificially and through unauthorized means, with a drama staged in the name of elections, and that dissolving the House of Representatives before the end of its term and seeking another parliament was aimed at creating a legislature favorable to those in power.
Oli also said problems had emerged in government operations because inexperienced people had been assigned responsibilities, stressing the need for experience and skills in carrying out government work.

He argued that sidelining experienced people and assigning responsibilities to inexperienced individuals in the name of the notion that “the new must take over and the old cannot” had worsened problems in the country.
Oli also questioned the role of current elected representatives, saying there was a growing need to assess their capacity and experience and to restore the Constitution to its proper course.
Accusing the government of violating the Constitution, Oli said it was their responsibility to protect the Constitution and bring the democratic process back on track. He said the unconstitutional government had dissolved the House of Representatives and staged a drama in the name of elections.
Oli also said that although there had been attempts to politically control his side, they had refused to accept such efforts and continued moving forward.
