Sidha Kura with PM Kp Oli – July 16th 2016

In an attempt to get back at CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal for withdrawing his support to the coalition, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is throwing all his cards at the Nepali Congress in a bid to prevent the Maoist leader from leading the next government.The Oli government is facing a vote of no-confidence at the Legislature-Parliament on July 21, having been stripped of its majority following the Maoist Centre’s decision to pull out of the ruling coalition on Wednesday.Within the past couple of days, Oli is said to have enticed three senior NC leaders, among others, with the government leadership, while his aides have also reached out to the agitated Madhesi forces to save his government. Several sources said that NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba, senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel and General Secretary Shashank Koirala were all offered the PM’s post, with pledges of the UML backing them in Parliament.
