The right path taken by Oli-Dahal

In the case of a mixed election system where it is difficult for any one party to win a majority, it is mandatory to form an alliance between the parties before or after the election. When making a coalition like that, it is natural for the party that matches the minimum subject to stand in one place.

It is not so unexpected that the equation and the government change in a hung parliament. When serious differences of opinion arise between companions, it is not unnatural for one to leave the other and seek a new companion. It is hard to believe that the same equation will continue for a long time in a country where no government has been able to complete its term in almost eight decades.

The right path taken by Oli-Dahal

However, the equation changed on February 21, 2080 has some theoretical and some practical bases, so the current remaining term will last. In Nepal, where the countdown starts as to when the alliance will collapse without formation, there is a psychology of doubting how long the alliance will last. It can be said that the current alliance moves cautiously because the top leadership understands more about the risks of confrontation than the benefits of joining together and because they themselves have not erased the injuries of past collisions.

When the two big leftist parties - CPN (UML) and CPN (Maoist Center) come together and bring the third left party CPN (Unified Socialist) also, some people think that there will be a single communist party in Nepal immediately. However, the recent experience of party unity has not been sweet. Even though KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal became 'two pilots of the same ship' by forming one CPN on 3rd June 2075, its 'force landing' was not easy. That the unity was more impulsive than mature and well-thought-out has been confirmed by the continuing disagreement on fundamental issues and the misunderstanding between the two leaders that started soon.

In this background, when the party gets united again, on the one hand, the arithmetic of the parliament does not allow the government to be formed, on the other hand, the reasons why the CPN was divided into three parts in the past are still the same, so it will not proceed smoothly.

means that until the top leadership realizes that their jurisdiction is encroached upon and their future is insecure, no matter how many principles they put on, a single communist party is not possible. Even if it is not left to say 'Let's unite the workers of the world', the greatest lack of tolerance and narrow-mindedness in embracing different ideas can be found in the communists. In this situation, when the left gets excited again and goes into unity, as Karl Marx wrote in a different context in "Louis Bonaparte's Eighth Brumaire", there is a danger that that unity will be repeated as a farce for the second time. Therefore, it should be kept aside and strengthened as a power equation and alliance. It should not be a matter of haste that the party will develop to the level of unity as the differences between each other will decrease and the atmosphere will be improved during cooperation.

Oli and Dahal are back on the right track once again. The journey of these two leaders for the protection of Nepal's communist movement and agenda cannot be devalued just as a person who leaves home in the morning wanders the whole day but returns home in the evening. UML alone cannot win a majority and Maoists cannot survive alone, if the two leaders can maintain the understanding between Akkar, the country will gain comparatively. Because, the equation between Left parties helps advance the Left agenda. When the Constitution itself has made socialism its destination, it is more beneficial for the Left Party to go along with it. Yesterday, the division of CPN was due to disagreements between these two leaders, but today Sahayatra is also possible due to the understanding of these two leaders. Cooperation would not have been a problem if only they had trusted each other and had the patience to wait a little.

In the 275-member House of Representatives, the CPN alone had almost two-thirds, i.e. 175 seats, while today, even if three left parties come together, the government will not be formed, with a total of 120 seats. The President, the Vice-President have come out of the hands of the left wing, it is difficult to get the frog's dharni even in the state government. Due to this, the country and the people have suffered a lot of losses, and the two parties have suffered more than that. Perhaps this introspection forced the two leaders to come together. Dahal has the experience that even if there is a majority, if the policies are not agreed, the government will not be able to run, while Oli has the experience that if the leader is not able to agree, he will not be able to run the government even if he has his own majority. Looking at the new cooperation in the light of these experiences of both leaders, it is expected that just as people walk more carefully if they stumble once, in the same way, one failure will serve as a lesson for both of them.

UML did not have to choose Prime Minister Dahal to run the government. According to the previous agreement, 10 months were left, but due to UML's fear, there was a possibility that the remaining period would be extended to him. On the one hand, the government is unable to move forward due to the Congress holding ministries such as finance and foreign affairs, and on the other hand, he changed the alliance even though he was personally accused of understanding the psychology of cooperation with the UML, which is growing within the party keeping in mind the upcoming elections. A new alliance has been formed amid the pressure to create a favorable environment for UML President Oli, who knows well that the grave of sharp criticism made by himself will be overturned. Therefore, due to the fact that these two leaders and the two parties' "interests" have come to one place, the cooperation has started to surprise many people. By maintaining this spirit and continuing the cooperation, the worries of international friends who are thinking "How long will this cooperation last?" will automatically disappear.

Communist ideology in the world today is not aggressive, it is defensive. The communist ideology that once covered half the earth, half the sky, accompanied half the population and led the parallel axis is in a state of chaos today. In 1975, after the revolution led by the Communist Party in Laos together with the members of the royal family, the Communists have not achieved success in any other country. Communists, who started to engage in peaceful politics in the 1990s after the fall of the communist regime in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, have also led the government through elections like in Nepal. have not been successful.

The Communists who ruled neighboring India's West Bengal for 34 consecutive years have failed to send a representative to the Lok Sabha for the first time since 1964. However, in Nepal, the communists are established as a strong force because they are interdependently intertwined with democracy, nationalism and people's livelihood. The people's multi-party democracy led by the people's leader Madan Bhandari has played a leading role in establishing and developing the communists as a popular force and the communists involved in the strategy of gaining power through armed war have also come to power in this way.

If the communist movement in Nepal is to be preserved in the long term as a strong and popular movement of the people, unity among the communist forces is essential. Even if it is not today, today or tomorrow and tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, if all the communists do not stand together, if CK Raut in East Terai, Ravi Lamichhane in Saharbazar and Resham Chaudhary in West Terai, the biggest wound will be inflicted on the Communists.

When a mixed election system is adopted so that it is difficult for any one party to get majority, it is mandatory to form an alliance between the parties before or after the election. When forming an alliance like that, it is natural for the parties that have minimum issues to stand together. In the Lok Sabha elections that are going to be held in our neighbor India, the parties are divided into two poles - the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the main opposition Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (India) led by the Indian National Congress. Parties with strong views on issues like nationality, religion, caste are in the NDA, while parties that believe in secularism, inclusiveness and progress are in the India Alliance. In this way, when the parties combine with each other, the voters who choose them do not have much confusion and if they win, it can be understood in the sense that they have received the approval of the people. Compared to this, more opportunism appears after the election.

In India, coalitions are formed before elections based on issues. However, the alliance formed between Congress and Maoists before the last election in Nepal was not natural at all. There is no similarity between the Congress and the Maoists in any matter like ideology, doctrine, program, tactics, flag, vocabulary, practice. However, the fact that the UML and Oli's alliance formed by showing fear had no other basis to survive was proved by the changed form on 10th January 2079 after the election. Despite that, the mistake that occurred in the vote of confidence transaction after 16 days, has been rectified after a year on February 21, 2080.

The collaboration between UML, Maoist and Unified Socialists is natural in many ways, while National Independent Party, which has emerged as a new force, and Janata Samajwadi, which is not negative towards socialism, has more thematic proximity to these parties. Therefore, a five-party alliance is more natural if at least to initiate a culture of agenda-based cooperation. Similarly, it is more natural when the opposition Nepali Congress forms a front by including right-wing parties such as Rashtriya Prajatantra Party, Democratic Socialist Party, and Janmat Party. And, the voters will not be confused in the choice when the elections are fought on two fronts like in India. The number of

ing jobs is huge. Power itself is a double-edged sword. If it can deliver services to the satisfaction of the people, it will do well in the elections; if it cannot, it will do the opposite. If the leaders with long history and short future can make a little positive contribution to the eternal future of the party, the movement and the country, history will keep its positive account.
