Most members of the ruling party's standing committees expressed dissatisfaction with the strained relations with India following the controversy over the Prime Minister's way of dealing with the Covid-19 epidemic and the script. On these issues, members demanded the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, after which the crisis within the party deepened.
Oli refused to resign, but after this, a round of informal conversation between Oli and Prachanda began. However, no solution could be found for this political crisis.

Such news is not in line with the basic principles of journalism."At the same time, Surya Thapa, Press Advisor of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that "Prime Minister Oli is aware that wrong news is being shown against him in some Indian channels".
