Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda will be the next Prime Minister of Nepal. President Vidya Devi Bhandari announced his appointment on Sunday evening, i.e. 25 December. Earlier, Prachanda had met the President along with 5 other coalition parties, including former Prime Minister and Communist leader KP Sharma Oli, considered close to China, and staked claim to form the government. Prachanda will take oath at 4 pm today.
Prachanda will become the Prime Minister of Nepal for the third time. The first time he became the Prime Minister from 2008 to 2009 and the second time from 2016 to 2017. Under the agreement, Prachanda will be the PM for the first two and a half years. After this, the CPN-UML will take power. This means that former PM KP Sharma Oli will once again become the Prime Minister. The special thing is that both these leaders are considered pro-China.
First Oli, then Deuba, and again Prachanda with Oli
Prachanda was part of the Oli government two years ago. After the Kalapani and Lipulekh border dispute with India, he got his 7 ministers to resign and forced Oli to leave the chair. He then sided with Sher Bahadur Deuba, head of the Nepali Congress Party. Deuba became the Prime Minister with the support of Prachanda.
After the recently held general elections, no party got an absolute majority in the Nepali Parliament. The Nepali Congress became the single largest party, but this time Prachanda refused to support the ruling Nepali Congress. After this, the two-year-old alliance of both was broken.
Deuba's Nepali Congress and Prachanda's CPN-Maoists were ready to form the government together but wanted the post of prime minister alternately. Prachanda's party wanted both parties to run the government for two and a half years each. But the biggest condition in this was that Prachanda would become the first Prime Minister. Deuba did not agree to this.
The Nepali Congress was unwilling to trust the CPN given its record. Therefore, the apprehension was that after being in power for two and a half years, the CPN might withdraw its support by making some excuse. The screw got stuck after coming here. After this, Prachanda extended his hand to Oli (CPN-UML).
Effect on India due to Prachanda-Oli pair
Pushp Kamal Dahal Prachanda and KP Sharma Oli both belong to the Communist Party and are considered very close to China. When Oli was the Prime Minister two years ago, he seemed keener on the BRI agreement with China. In such a situation, now the government of Nepal can become a problem for India. China will use Nepal's land to encircle India from all sides.
Former Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Hao Yankee has also been close to the communist government while Oli was the PM. Then Hao Yankee prepared Oli to release the disputed map of Nepal. In this map, Nepal had told the disputed areas with India - Kalapani, and Lipulekh as its share. Oli's presence in the new government could raise the issue again.
Prachanda should be the face of eradicating monarchy from teacher
Prachanda has been the biggest name among the faces who ended the monarchy in Nepal in the 90s. A ten-year armed struggle was waged under the leadership of 68-year-old Prachanda, a teacher who lived underground for 25 years. And this struggle has been a major reason for political change in Nepal. Maoists see this struggle as a 'people's war'.
Not one or two, the whole six names of Prachanda
According to the BBC, while studying in class 10 at Narayani Vidya Mandir in Chitwan, Prachanda changed his name from Chhabilal Dahal to Pushp Kamal Dahal. Prachanda, who went underground in the anti-panchayat movement in 1981, appeared publicly in Baluwatar on July 20, 2006. While underground he took the names Kalyan, Vishwas, Nirman, and Prachanda. Earlier, he had become Pushp Kamal from Chabhilal. When he was working as a teacher, he was known by the name Kalyan. After this, he became known as Vishwas after becoming a central member of Mashal.
