Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has decided to withdraw the vote of confidence given to the government by breaking the then seven-party alliance and creating a new equation. The meeting of the Congress Central Working Committee on Tuesday decided to withdraw the vote of confidence.

Along with this, a large party of the Congress has reached the bench of the main opposition and Prime Minister Dahal has to take a vote of confidence from the Parliament within 30 days. Both sides are also engaged in strengthening their respective fronts .

Only the Congress has withdrawn the vote of confidence from the ruling coalition. The Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP), which is in alliance with the Congress, has joined the new alliance. Prime Minister Dahal and UML President KP Sharma Oli are trying to pull other parties into the new equation. Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba, who said that he was repeatedly 'cheated' by Prime Minister Dahal, is also in favor of forming a strong opposition front in the parliament by integrating the parties outside the government.

A leader of the Congress said that Deuba has even started trying to shut down the parties outside the government in the opposition front. "Now we are staying in the opposition, even if we stay in the opposition, our goal is to include everyone and form a strong opposition front". What do other parties do? Our interest is in that direction' another official of the Congress said, 'we are not in the exercise of going to power immediately. However, if we are able to reach the game of numbers, we will move forward.'

Congress leaders are most interested in whether the Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RASP), which has 21 seats in Parliament, will remain in the government or not. Dolprasad Aryal, the deputy chairman of RSVP, has taken the oath of the minister. But Chairman Ravi Lamichhane has warned that he will leave the government if he does not get the Ministry of Home Affairs. Maoist and UML do not want to give him the home ministry. Prime Minister Dahal and UML President Oli are afraid that Lamichhane will be given the Ministry of Home Affairs.

If the RSVP is left out due to lack of Home Ministry, in addition to the parties that have signed the coalition, the Madhav Kumar Unified Socialist Party of Nepal, which has 10 seats, the Civil Liberation Party, which has 4 seats, and the Janmaat Party, which has 6 seats, will have to participate in order to get a majority for the government. For this reason, Prime Minister Dahal and UML President Oli reached Koteshwar, Nepal's residence, on Tuesday to deceive the CPN (S). Similarly, public opinion has claimed the chief minister in Madhesh province and Civil Immunity in Sudurpaschim province to participate in the government .

The Maoists, who formed an electoral alliance with the Congress in all three levels of elections in 079, left the alliance with the Congress on December 10 of the same year after they did not agree on the Prime Minister. Soon after, Dahal became the Prime Minister with the support of UML. At that time, Deuba gave a vote of confidence to the government on March 26, 2079 saying that it was a mistake on his part and pulled Dahal back into the coalition. After the incident of 10th of January, the Congress, which suddenly became the opposition in the union and the state, returned to power within two months . Congress participated in the Dahal-led government on 079 Chait 17 .

This year, when the Maoists tried to make the Congress Chief Minister in Koshi Province, the Speaker abandoned them, when the Congress failed to become the Chief Minister, there was a rebellion in the Congress when the alliance put forward a Maoist candidate, when the Congress leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula was elected from the alliance in the National Assembly elections, the Maoist leader Champadevi Karki was defeated, the electoral alliance in the Congress General Committee meeting Since not doing so, it has given a response to leaving the coalition due to the passing of a policy report on the lack of economic development due to the people's war.

'Maoist's talk is fake'

Congress President Deuba said in the meeting that the talk of Maoist is all drama and fake. "Even if the Maoist leaders have fulfilled everything they were saying, sooner or later they will leave the alliance," he said. In the

meeting, Deputy Chairman Purna Bahadur Khadka informed about the last-minute efforts to save the alliance. Khadka and another leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula went to Baluwatar with various proposals to lure Dahal before the new equation was formed. When he came up with the proposal to extend the tenure of the Prime Minister by one year, give the Chairman of the National Assembly to the Maoists and change all the ministers, Prime Minister Dahal replied that 99 percent of them had agreed to form an alliance with the UML and only 1 percent was left to be signed.

'After knowing that a new alliance is being formed, we had no other option but to cheat. UML has offered us many times. However, because of us, the alliance should not be broken and the suspicions would increase, it would bring all the misfortunes on us . Quoting Khadka's statement, the source said, "But Dahal, among the 40 members of the Maoist Standing Committee, all of them said that an alliance with the Congress is no longer possible, I am left alone." We said think more, think about ending the peace process.'' It is the understanding of the Congress leaders that Dahal's internal dialogue to change the

equation was done very secretly without even informing the President of the United Samajwadi Party of Nepal. Congress leader Shekhar Koirala said that the incident of Dahal unilaterally breaking the alliance is not common. "It is normal to form alliances in politics, break them and form them again, but the incident of yesterday (Monday) is not normal". The alliance with a party that is weak, unstable and ready to do anything for power has proved to be costly for the Congress today. Let's be alert for the future.'

Congress leader Bimalendra Nidhi alleged that the new equation was created with a sense of revenge. The new alliance that Prachanda has suddenly created is based on the spirit of revenge. An alliance was not formed to work in the interest of the country and the people, to protect, implement and promote federalism' Nidhi said, 'An alliance formed with the feeling that I will show up cannot give any hope.' He said that there should be a serious review of the situation in the Congress. Why is there such a weakness in us? In 74 years, the Maoist government, which was in alliance with the Congress, reached an alliance with the UML . Even at that time, Sher Bahadurji was the chairman. The same situation happened on January 10, 2019. Now the situation within the coalition, the unreliable aspects and our weaknesses, should be reviewed," said KC . KC added to the question that the Congress has moved for power again, "we will take whatever strategy is needed according to the needs, principles and demands of the situation".
