Former President Bidya Devi Bhandari's move to return to CPN-UML has caused a major earthquake in that party. Especially President KP Sharma Oli, who has captured the party in his fist, has not tolerated such activities of Bhandari.
A few days ago, Oli called Bhandari a 'so-and-so' in a public program and said that he should not try to come to the party. Because of this, a tussle has started to appear between Oli and Bhandari, who were in a very close relationship before. Looking at Bhandari's activities, it can be said that he is an influential leader of UML, but he visited China some time ago and China treated him as a leader of UML.
Leaders/activists who have not been able to speak due to Oli's dictatorial behavior in UML are sitting in silence. Oli removed the previously established age limit for himself, even though he gave the name of the convention, he himself declared himself as the president for two terms unopposed. He is determined to repeat the same process for another term. Therefore, Vidya Bhandari's activism does not seem to be liked by him in any way.
There is no doubt that if Oli was not in the mood to compete for the chairmanship for the next term, he would have taken the steward's hand and handed over the leadership of the party. Oli has started making various plans to prevent Bhandari from coming to the party. In recent days, in every public event, Oli has been giving warning statements to those who are trying to return Bhandari and Bhandari to the party, not to create factions/sub-factions within the party in a roundabout way and that no one thinks the party is weak.
On the one hand, Bhandari is saying that the statements made by UML President Oli are not aimed at her, while on the other hand, Oli is putting pressure on Bhandari to stay in his place in a roundabout way. Bhandari, who was once very close and Oli could not break his word, suddenly turned against Oli and was practicing to come to the field to fight him.
