President Paudel said that Karki -led acting government has the right to hold parliamentary elections within 6 months. Karki, known for his honesty as the Chief Justice, has been selected after a conversation between the President, the military leadership of Nepal and the leaders leading the mass movements. Karki, who studied at Banaras Hindu University, has long been considered one of the most respected personalities of Nepal.

Oli, a supporter of China, had to resign

After resigning from the post of Prime Minister, KP Sharma Oli has made serious allegations against India. Describing myself as stubborn, he said that if I was not adamant on issues like Ram’s birth place, Lipulekh and Kalapani in Ayodhya, India, then I could get many more benefits, but I have no greed for the post. Let us know that Oli has been considered a supporter of China and after becoming Prime Minister, his first visit was from India instead of India.
