After the Supreme Court restored the House of Representatives on Bhadra 12, 2052, Prime Minister Manmohan Adhikari was faced with a no-confidence motion filed by the main opposition party, the Nepali Congress.

After the Supreme Court overturned the dissolution of Parliament and the mid-term elections he had carried out, he was also advised to show his morality by resigning from the post of Prime Minister. But since he had been made Prime Minister by Parliament, he had announced that he would 'face' the no-confidence motion in Parliament.

But Prime Minister Adhikari, who was leading a minority government, did not have a majority of MPs to oppose the no-confidence motion. A no-confidence motion was registered in Parliament in 2052 Jestha against Adhikari, who had led a minority government for nine months after the mid-term elections held in 2051.

Adhikari was injured in a helicopter crash during the voting on the no-confidence motion. He was undergoing treatment at the Maharajgunj Teaching Hospital. He was injured in the helicopter crash that occurred on 29 Shrawan 2052.

The day for voting on the no-confidence motion in a special session called at the request of the opposition was set for 25 Bhadra 2052. On behalf of the proposer of the no-confidence motion, the then parliamentary party leader of the Nepali Congress, Sher Bahadur Deuba, had accused the UML government of violating the constitution, ruining the country's economic situation, violating human rights, UMLizing the bureaucracy, not maintaining a balance in foreign policy, and violating democratic values ​​and norms and parliamentary dignity. 

Prime Minister Adhikari Deuba wanted to respond to these allegations.  He was of the opinion that in a parliamentary system, the Prime Minister should exercise his right to answer the allegations against him or the questions raised in Parliament.  But at that time, Adhikari was ill and receiving treatment in the hospital and was not in a position to be present in the House of Representatives to answer the questions raised against him. 

He had maintained that he should be able to answer the questions raised by being present in the House of Representatives.  Therefore, the UML MPs had requested that the vote on the no-confidence motion be held only after he was discharged from the hospital.  But when the opposition parties refused, Prime Minister Adhikari instructed the ministers to create an environment where he could face and respond to the no-confidence motion.

As per the Prime Minister's wishes, the ministers had made arrangements to respond to the questions raised in Parliament and the allegations made on television from their hospital beds. A television studio was set up in the teaching hospital bed on the morning of the day the vote on the no-confidence motion was to be held. Adhikari responded to the issues raised in Parliament on Bhadra 25, 2052 through the recording. Television screens were placed at 11 places in the parliament meeting so that MPs could listen to Adhikari's response.

This was the first time in the history of Nepal that a Prime Minister had answered questions while facing a no-confidence motion registered in Parliament from his hospital bed. The Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS) had stated that it was the first time in the world that a Prime Minister had responded from a hospital. Foreign journalists were also called to the teaching hospital to watch the recording by Nepal Television. All the arrangements were made by the then Minister of Communications Pradeep Nepal.

It was agreed in the Business Advisory Committee of Parliament that the Prime Minister would read the address first and then the cabinet ministers would read it. According to the same agreement, after Adhikari read 6 pages of the reply, Deputy Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal was given the responsibility. Nepal, who is also the UML General Secretary, read the remaining pages while sitting by the bed. The 1 hour 21 minute address was broadcast on Radio Nepal and Nepal Television. During the reply, Adhikari said that since he was made the Prime Minister by the Parliament, he would not run away from the Parliament and that the decision made there would be valid. In the reply, Adhikari claimed that there was no truth to the allegations made against him in the no-confidence motion. He said that the allegations were baseless and biased.

Targeting the leaders of the National Democracy Party formed by the Panchayats, he said that it was ridiculous for those who are trying to impose totalitarianism in the name of democracy and those who are accustomed to operating an autocratic system to preach to us how to follow democratic conduct. Targeting the Congress, he said, "It is meaningless for the opposition, which has leaders who publicly wield 'machine guns' and make speeches threatening to destroy the monarchy when there is a possibility that their personal interests will not be fulfilled, to accuse us of 'losing the path' of the constitution, the parliamentary system and healthy political competition."

Adhikari indirectly expressed dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court's decision to restore the House of Representatives. He said that the constitution adopts the principle of separation of powers and determines the role and area of ​​each constitutional body. Stating that only the people have the right to restructure the constitutional boundaries and area, Adhikari implied that the judiciary has interfered with the executive. He argued that it was wrong to accuse him of trying to weaken the parliament while trying to find a political solution, saying that chaos and instability could arise in the country if there were no mid-term elections. He also claimed that he had done many good and pro-people works during his nine-month tenure.

107 votes in favor of the no-confidence motion

The no-confidence motion was submitted to the House of Representatives for a vote on Bhadra 25, the same day that Prime Minister Adhikari responded from his hospital bed. After Prime Minister Adhikari was defeated in the vote, he resigned to the King on the same day. The vote was 107 in favor of the no-confidence motion and 88 against it. 84 MPs from the Nepali Congress, 19 from the Nepali RPP, three from the Nepali Sadbhavana Party, and one from the Independents voted in favor of the motion. 86 MPs from the UML and two from the CPN (Masal) voted against the no-confidence motion. Three MPs from the Nepali Workers and Peasants Party were absent. The no-confidence motion was signed and registered by 77 Congress MPs on Jestha 27, 2052. After the dissolved parliament was restored, it was presented for decision in a special session. Adhikari became the Prime Minister on Mangsir 2, 2051. He ran the government for 9 months and 12 days. .

The news prepared by a team including journalist Taranath Dahal, making reference to the incident in which the King accepted Adhikari's resignation after the no-confidence motion was passed, Adhikari gave a detailed account of the work done during his nine-month tenure from his hospital bed, and prepared to form a new government under the leadership of Deuba, was published in Kantipur Daily on Bhadra 26, 2052 under the main headline 'UML government defeated in no-confidence motion'. On the same day, Kantipur published additional news under the subheadings ‘From PM’s response to congratulations to Deuba’, ‘No-confidence motion allegations baseless and biased’, ‘No-confidence motion in Nepali legislature’, ‘The beautiful side of democracy: peaceful transfer of power’. On that day, Kantipur also published a photo on the inside page of Deputy Prime Minister and UML General Secretary Nepal reading the reply speech while sitting next to the Prime Minister Adhikari lying in the hospital bed.
