As I mentioned earlier, CPN-UML leader Oli is an unreliable leader. Once again, he has reiterated the idea of left party unity in Nepal.

There are two types of political parties in Nepal: old and new. The recent successes of Balen, the RSP, and others outside of the traditional NC and UML, may not be sustainable in Nepalese politics, much like the RPP, the Maoists, Bibekshil, and Madhesi-based parties.

As I always argue, India is not Nepalis' preferred destination; it is a compulsion for many. This statement from a Nepali migrant says that we cannot find work in our village. And poor people do not have the money to go to another country. So we have to go to India for job.

What a fabulous argument! India abandoned its long-standing tradition of hosting the Nepali prime. If so, this raises India’s much-touted “Neighborhood First” policy. Extending an invitation to Oli could have reinforced New Delhi's claim that “Nepal is a special partner.”
