KP Sharma Oli Sees India's Hand Behind Toppling His Government
In a blunt statement, Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has blamed India for being behind the CPN (Maoist Centre) pulling out support to his government.
"India's role was primarily behind" the pulling out of support by the Maoists, Mr Oli said today in a conference on National Security in Kathmandu, adding that the process of government change was "not an automatic process but conducted by remote control".
Nepal-India ties took a dip after Mr Oli came into power last October, which was followed by the five-month-long economic blockade on the Nepal-India border by the Madhesi protesters. Mr Oli since the very beginning has been a critic of Indian "high-handedness" in Nepal's internal political affairs.
Nepal's Maoists pulled out support from the government on Tuesday and a no-trust motion was registered by the CPN (Maoist Centre) and Nepali Congress in Parliament against Mr Oli after the latter refused to resign.
Mr Oli said "there was a feast in a five-star hotel" after the Maoist Centre pulled out support.
It was widely reported in Nepali media that Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae "threw a feast" after the Maoist Centre pulled out support to the government on Tuesday evening.
