In accordance with the plan to bring a no-confidence motion against Surya Bahadur Thapa, who became Prime Minister on Asoj 22, 2054, a special session of the House of Representatives was demanded by the opposition CPN-UML on Poush 24.

Within 93 days of the formation of the government, a petition was registered at the Royal Palace against Prime Minister Thapa, signed by a group of his own party, Rastriya Prajatantra Party. On the same day, Prime Minister Thapa had recommended to the King to dissolve the parliament and hold mid-term elections. Whose proposal should be implemented? King Birendra was in a dilemma. Unable to make an easy decision, the King sought the opinion of the Supreme Court.

Almost a month after the King sought the opinion, the Supreme Court advised that it would be appropriate to call a special session on Magh 22. In the special session called in accordance with the Supreme Court's opinion, even MPs from the RPP leader Lokendra Bahadur Chand's party stood in favor of the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Thapa that the opposition submitted on the 24th. Thapa, who was in trouble after his own party formed a separate parliamentary party and surrounded him, was supported by the Nepali Congress.

In the voting held in the House of Representatives on February 21, 2001, Thapa secured 103 votes, saving the post of Prime Minister. He was supported by 87 from the Congress, 11 from the RPP, 3 from the Sadbhavana Party, and 2 from the Nepal Workers and Peasants Party.

The no-confidence motion received 100 votes. 89 from the UML, 8 from the RPP (Chand group), 2 independents, and 1 from the Congress voted in favor of the no-confidence motion. To remove Thapa from the position of Prime Minister, RPP leader Chand split the parliamentary party and sat in the opposition in parliament. However, since his parliamentary party included only 8 MPs, the number to topple the government was not enough. That is why UML Chairman Manmohan Adhikari and leader Bamdev Gautam congratulated Prime Minister Thapa while voting in parliament. After RPP Chand said that the majority of the party's MPs would support him, the UML filed a petition and brought a no-confidence motion.

After the issue of MP buying and selling and beauty queens was raised...

During the discussion on the no-confidence motion, there was an hour of uproar, objections and uproar in the House of Representatives, objecting to the statements made by Prime Minister Thapa. The opposition especially raised the issue of MP buying and selling during the discussion on the no-confidence motion. Prime Minister Thapa had raised the issue of MP buying and mafia manipulation in the House of Representatives. He had said, 'Surely for the interests of the leader and to entertain the MPs, it has now become common and beauty queens have been added to it.' Every government after the mid-term elections is weak. They are engaged in dirty games 24 hours a day. Every game requires a portfolio, and money needs to come from it.'

Disagreeing with Prime Minister Thapa's statement, the opposition MPs said that the privilege and dignity of the MPs were violated. They demanded that the Prime Minister apologize. RPP MP Padmasundar Lawati from the Chand faction objected to Thapa's statement. Prime Minister Thapa said, 'I have said what I saw, there is nothing to hide.' After the opposition insisted on an apology on the same issue, Thapa stood on the rostrum of the parliament for an hour. UML MP Khadga Prasad Oli insisted that the Prime Minister apologize for unfairly insulting the MPs. The controversy was resolved after Thapa said that he did not intend to insult the MPs and the House, but raised an issue that had been in the newspapers and was discussed by the public outside.

Talk of handing over power to Congress

It was made public that Thapa had defeated the no-confidence motion in an agreement to hand over power to Congress. For that, the question was raised that Thapa had kept the post of Prime Minister on the condition of resigning and supporting Congress. While answering the opposition's question, Thapa had said, 'Unfortunately, it seems that Surya Bahadur will never come across the word resignation.' He had said that the accusations made by the opposition were like the gas papers of SLC students prepared by a consultant and there was no fact in them. He had accused the opposition of being a fraud. After the no-confidence motion was moved, Thapa said that he could not come with the courage, courage and determination that should have been there.

In the context of the repeated changes of power, the mid-term elections and the problems arising from it, the failure of the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Thapa, a news prepared by journalist Hari Bahadur Thapa was published in Kantipur Daily on 2054 Falgun 9 under the title 'No-confidence Motion Against Prime Minister Failed'. The game of repeatedly filing no-confidence motions against the Prime Minister due to power interests and causing instability by moving MPs here and there was going on continuously after the 2051 mid-term elections.
