I’m sorry, but I cannot begin with ‘Hope you are doing well.’ That would be a bit of hypocrisy on my part, given that you are far from doing well! Even your creators and champions seem to have finally realized that not everything is good with you while there are many who call you a ‘Black Constitution’ and are going to observe your birthday today as a ‘Black Day’. How very festive!

The assertion that political stability automatically leads to development is flawed. There was stability during the 104 years of Rana rule. Similarly, the country was stable during the 30 years of Panchayat rule. But did Nepal develop during those periods? While other countries progressed, we remained stagnant.

Political stability plays a pivotal role in securing high economic growth. There are several instances from around the world in which countries have achieved notable rates of economic growth when they achieve success in maintaining political stability.

MALEKHU, May 11: Spokesperson of the ruling CPN (Maoist Center), Agni Sapkota, has pointed out the urgency of forging national consensus for political stability.

KATHMANDU, March 6: China has expressed the hope that the new coalition government formed in Nepal will change the power equation and bring political stability.

The changes in government, occurring just a few months after their formation, in two of Nepal's provinces, Gandaki and Lumbini, on Thursday do not bode well for the country. There are fears that this could be just the beginning of a fresh round of political instability, which Nepal cannot afford, especially when the nation is grappling with various challenges.

KATHMANDU, March 30: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal  has said the basis for political stability is in the making in the country.

KATHMANDU, May 8: Nepali Congress (NC) President and Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that the alliance is necessary for political stability in the country.

Nepal Communist Party (NCP) is once again embroiled in intra-party feud. Differences among top leaders, including KP Sharma Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal, have surfaced, and it is likely to impact our political stability. Nepalis voted for stability and development. But the party’s infighting exposed personal ambitions above everything else. Recent political developments are deeply troubling for the country. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has not shied away from venting his frustration over the government’s inability to pass MCC, and resolve some outstanding issues within the party.

KATHMANDU, Jan 13: People’s expectations from the two-thirds majority government seem to have fallen flat due to the sluggish progress of the government toward addressing the country’s main economic agendas. It is almost two years since the left alliance led by Prime Minister KP Oli took charge.

Why is the government that stormed to power on the plank of political stability and development catering to anti-democratic pathologies of the past?
