The meeting will discuss a constitution amendment proposal registered by the government to update the country's map in the national emblem.

As the government prepares to revise the constitution to legitimise new map, Samajbadi leaders tell the Business Advisory Committee of Parliament that it’s also an ‘opportune’ moment to address their concerns.

While there’s no debate on an issue of national importance, the constitutional amendment bill could be an opportune moment to address long-standing demands of Madhesis, Janajatis and Tharus.

At a time when the nation is looking for empathy, effectiveness and hope from the prime minister, Oli failed to provide any real roadmap for the days ahead, observers say.

The party had the possibility of transforming the country, given its massive mandate and overwhelming strength. But it has squandered all opportunity, say analysts.

The prime minister has not attended a single meeting of the budget session of the House which commenced on Friday.

While experts say there was no need to take the ordinances that were null and void, Law Ministry argues no provision bars from doing that.

Two former prime ministers accuse the Oli government of failing to fight Covid-19 and engaging in corrupt activities.

Many party leaders do not trust Oli to live up to his promises, given numerous past instances of him not implementing agreements.

While Gautam toys with the idea of taking charge as prime minister, Nepal and Dahal are not keen on the proposal, party insiders say.

Analysts say that while China is interested in keeping the Nepal Communist Party intact, it doesn’t have any preferences when it comes to who leads the government.

As Gautam’s road to the prime ministership is fraught with complications, party leaders believe that Oli is simply trying to buy some time.

As Oli’s opponents control the party Secretariat, Standing Committee, and Central Committee with sizeable majorities, the only chance he stands is in the Parliamentary Party.

Analysts are wary of welcoming the unification of the two Madhes-based parties as they see it as a reactive move rather than a unity born out of shared agendas.

His opponents, however, are firm in their opposition, leading Oli to warn his confidantes to prepare for consequences, including a party split.

After failing to reach a deal with the Madhav Nepal faction, Oli will now face the Secretariat and the Standing Committee, both of which are allied against him.

A majority of Secretariat and Standing Committee members have demanded a Standing Committee meeting where they plan to ask Oli to step down as prime minister.

Oli needs to answer for a series of political events, including an alleged kidnapping, triggered by the two controversial ordinances, say leaders and analysts.

The government earlier on Friday had decided to recommend repealment of the ordinances.

The Oli government backtracks on ordinance decisions after widespread criticism, including from within the ruling party.
