Vishwas' downward journey ended in 63 from 268

After Congress and UML agreed to form a new government under the leadership of KP Sharma Oli on June 17, after UML withdrew its support, Dahal, who was in the minority, proposed a vote of confidence in the Parliament meeting on Friday. The proposal made by Dahal has been rejected by the majority of the House of Representatives.

According to Article 100 (2) of the Constitution, only 63 members of parliament voted in favor of Dahal's proposal, including the Maoists, RASWP and Unified Socialists. There were 194 votes against. Congress, UML, RPRPA, Jaspa led by Ashok Rai, Jaspa Nepal led by Upendra Yadav, Janmat, Civil Immunity and other parties voted against Dahal's proposal. Nemkipa's Prem Suwal remained neutral. During the division of votes, 258 MPs participated in the House of Representatives.

Although it is clear that he will not get a majority, Dahal has answered from the rostrum of the Parliament about the reason for proposing the vote of confidence. The Maoists have been accusing Congress and UML of trying to eliminate proportional, inclusive system and representation through constitutional amendment. Dahal argued that he asked for division of votes to stand up for those classes and communities.

Dahal said that women, Dalits, tribals, tribal MPs and smaller parties in Congress, UML have taken a vote of confidence saying that the consensus of the two parties on the constitutional amendment is not acceptable. "Whether the number is sufficient or not, not only by the number of Maoists who arrived here, but also for your role in history to be recorded, the role of all classes, castes, regions and communities, I have started resistance against regression by using the right to vote of faith," he said.

However, Congress and UML have come to an agreement for progress and not backwardness, according to the chief whip of the Congress, Ramesh Akhtar. He said that the two parties are going to amend the constitution to end the situation of taking a vote of confidence for the fifth time in 18 months. It has been more than 8 years since the constitution was enacted. A constitution is not an inanimate object, not an inert document. The constitution is a document that runs continuously," he said, "federalism, democracy, republic and inclusiveness are the main elements of this constitution, they are the pillars of this constitution. We want to strengthen it, we want to strengthen it, we want to implement it in practice.

UML Secretary Yogesh Bhattarai suggested to review why the Maoists reached this situation. After leaving Singhdarbar and Baluwatar without getting a vote of confidence, he asked to review himself. Metmani Choudhary, the chief whip of United Samajwadi Party, suggested to Dahal to balance the relationship between the Dahals even though he did not get a vote of confidence. Chowdhury suggested that the Congress president should not be blamed for the breakdown of the current alliance and not getting a vote of confidence, saying that the alliance between Deuba and Oli would not last long.

No matter what the situation is like today, you should not find the Congress President guilty at all. Keep the relationship with him in balance," said Dahal, who had secured the prime minister's chair four times with the support of Congress, UML and smaller parties. In the election of the House of Representatives held on November 4, 2079, there was an electoral alliance of parties including Congress and Maoists. UML had an electoral synergy with RPP and other parties. The Congress-Maoist alliance brought the majority in the House of Representatives, but when it came to government formation, Deuba and Dahal did not agree.

With the support of UML, Dahal was appointed Prime Minister on 10th January 2079. After becoming the Prime Minister, Dahal prepared not only Oli, but also Deuba to give a vote of confidence. During the vote of confidence for the first time on December 26, 2079, 268 parliamentarians gave a vote of confidence to Dahal, including Congress, UML, Maoist Center, RASWP, RPPA, JSPA Nepal, Integrated Socialists, Public Opinion and Civil Liberties, and 268 MPs from all parties and independents, in opposition were Nemkipa's Prem Suwal and Jan Morcha Only Chitra Bahadur KC was standing.

Dahal, who broke the alliance with the UML before the presidential election, took the vote of confidence for the second time on Chait 6, 2079. At that time, he got the votes of 172 MPs from Congress, Maoist, Jaspa Nepal, United Socialist Party, Janmaat, Civil Immunity and other parties. 89 MPs of parties including UML voted against him.

The reason why Prime Minister Dahal took the vote of confidence for the third time was to meet with the UML. Oli and Dahal agreed with the plan to break the alliance with the Congress and form a left-wing alliance and go together till the 2084 elections. The fourth party of the parliament, RSVP, was also added to it. For the third time, Dahal got 157 MP votes on 30 February 2080. On the other hand, 110 MPs from Congress, RPP and other parties voted in opposition.

For the fourth time, the Prime Minister had to take a vote of confidence when the parties participating in the government split. Janata Samajwadi Party, Nepal, led by Upendra Yadav, who was holding the Deputy Prime Minister and Health Ministry at that time, split. After JSP Nepal withdrew its support from the government, Dahal won the vote of confidence for the fourth time, which included the votes of 157 MPs. The Congress MPs did not participate in the vote-sharing as they were in Vel Gherau.
