Deputy General Secretary Gyawali claims that UML decided to join Congress after Prime Minister Dahal initiated the initiative of power equation with Congress. "Despite adopting a certain degree of flexibility in government operations, it was seen that Dahal started a debate on the formation of an alternative government with the leader of the main opposition party, Sher Bahadur Deuba, because the information about that matter was also received from Deuba, UML has come to cooperate with the Congress," he said.

Congress has also made it clear that since it has been decided to advance UML president Oli as the prime minister, it will proceed accordingly.

In an attempt to find a possible alternative political equation, the Maoists and the RSVP are planning to prolong the life of the government. Currently, the Maoist Center has 32 seats and the RSVP has 21 seats in the House of Representatives.

The meeting of the Maoist office-bearers expressed doubts about the power cooperation agreement between the Congress and the UML and decided to seek a vote of confidence from the Parliament without resigning. In the meeting, Chairman and Prime Minister Dahal informed about the latest political situation.

No one has told us to resign now, even though we have withdrawn support. We have been told to form a national government, this government will be formed," Finance Minister and Maoist Deputy General Secretary Varshman Pun said, "Even if Deubaji agreed with the UML, the resignation of the government has not been demanded. There is no such thing as someone resigning without asking for resignation, without withdrawing the support given to the government. We will decide when the situation becomes clear.

The secretariat meeting of the RSVP in the government has concluded that the Congress-UML equation is not in the interest of the people. Chief whip Santosh Pariyar said that the political maneuvering is going on continuously and the instability has increased. "There is constant instability and manipulation in Nepal's politics. Even in the past, we have made some efforts for stability, although not everything is as we want it to be," he said. Looking at this development, we will not stay in the alliance that will be formed now.' "If the democratic sentiments are to be accepted, the first and second parties should not form the government together," he said. It will come out only after the process of forming the next government starts.'

After the government took steps against corruption, Maoist and RSVP have claimed that they are going to form a new alliance. Ravi Lamichhane, who is also the deputy prime minister and home minister, has suspected the collapse of the government and said, "The file has been opened and it cannot last even one night." What is the meaning of restlessness? Suddenly there is a concern to protect the constitution, everyone understands who is trying to protect the constitution. Lamichhane also said that he will not participate in the government led by UML president Oli.
