Political instability

Political instability

Sandwiched between China and India, Nepal is facing serious political instability  .Over three years have passed since a 10-year civil war between the state and Maoist rebels ended, but the country has been beset with political instability and weak governance, which analysts say is mostly due to constant feuding between Nepal’s biggest political parties - the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoists (CPN-M), the Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) and Nepali Congress (NC).

In June 2001 the former King Birendra and his family was massacred. King, Gyanendra, who is always considered as a shady character in Nepal, ascended to the throne. The coup decisions by the king 

pushed the political parties into a formal alliance with the Maoists. Once again, Nepal witnessed a 19 days long “People’s Movement” in April 2006, after 16 years of the first one.

Nepal now has a resurrected parliament, a partyled government, and a fledgling cease- fire andnew peace process. The proclamation of theHouse of Representatives on May 18 severely crippled the King’s power. It has also declared Nepal as a secular state, renamed His Majesty's government as the Nepal government and the Royal Nepal Army as the Nepali Army, put theArmy under parliamentary control and declared that the House would be sovereign for the exercise of all rights until another constitutional arrangement is made.

But now once again Nepal faces a crisis , The deadline for grafting the peoples constitution has long passed but still there is no sign of  agreement between the parties . After the resignation of the goverment under PM Madhav Kumar Nepal ,  Nepal has been deprieved of a functional ruling goverment . As a result till the month of Aashwin , Budget has not been passed. This crisis has further retarted or preferably hindered the development of the country .
