Mid-term elections were held on November 29, 2051. From these elections, a minority government of the UML was formed in November 2051.

It had been only six and a half months since the first government was formed under the leadership of the Communist Party in Nepal. The Nepali Congress, which had toppled its own government due to internal strife, had been reduced to the main opposition party by the mid-term election results. The Congress, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party, the Nepal Sadbhavana Party and independent MPs, who had given a vote of confidence to the minority government led by the UML, the largest party in parliament, seemed dissatisfied with the working style of the UML government.

The dissatisfaction of the opposition parties began to surface within three to four months of the formation of the government led by UML Chairman Manmohan Adhikari. Over time, the Congress, including the Panchas who were thrown out of the 2046 movement, began to form the government itself. In the 2048 parliamentary election, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), formed by the Panchas, won two seats. But the RPP was established as the decisive force for government formation by winning 20 seats in the mid-term election. The Congress and the RPP were getting closer in the greed of joining the government.

In the same background, the opposition parties filed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the House of Representatives against the minority government. A petition to form a majority government by proposing Congress parliamentary party leader Sher Bahadur Deuba as the Prime Minister was also registered at the Royal Palace. The opposition parties, including the Congress, filed a no-confidence motion, accusing the Adhikari-led government of violating the constitution and trying to disrupt the country's political, economic and social structures and push the nation towards political instability and social disintegration.

The opposition parties had submitted the option of forming a majority government in accordance with Article 42(1) of the 2047 Constitution, saying that the Prime Minister had threatened a mid-term election when there was a possibility of forming a government from the parliament. Accusing the Prime Minister of trying to weaken the Parliament by threatening a mid-term election, the no-confidence motion accused the Prime Minister and the government of repeatedly ignoring the concept of the rule of law, and of trampling on the dignity of the judiciary, including basic human rights, the rule of law, adult suffrage, the parliamentary system of government, and the constitutional monarchy. 

The no-confidence motion was signed by 77 opposition party MPs, including the Congress, alleging that the government was trying to lead the country towards degradation in every way.  Leaders including Congress Parliamentary Party Leader Deuba, RPP's Lokendra Bahadur Chand, and Sadbhavana's Gajendra Narayan Singh had personally registered a petition in the palace for the formation of a joint government.  After the majority of MPs filed the no-confidence motion, the Prime Minister's office was in trouble within six and a half months. 

Former Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala had been expressing dissatisfaction with the government for some time after the government was formed. Ganeshman Singh, the commander of the 2046 movement, had put forward the idea of ​​forming a national government. UML was accused of increasing party interference in state structures and violating constitutional provisions. Adhikari was afraid that the opposition could remove him at any time because he was a minority government. Therefore, Adhikari used to warn that if he tried to overthrow his government, he would go to mid-term elections.

When the UML was in government, it used to claim that it had become popular by bringing popular programs. And it was understood in UML circles that it had brought a no-confidence motion out of fear of the government's popularity.

Focusing on the context in which parties including the main opposition had filed a no-confidence motion in parliament, questioning the working style of the communist-led government, and had submitted a petition to the Royal Palace Secretariat to form a majority government from within the parliament, Kantipur Daily had published a news story on 29 Jestha 2052 under the headline: NC files no-confidence motion against the government, petition for an alternative majority government.
