Swarajya's video: Communist Nepal PM K P Sharma Oli Takes Up Hindutva And Turns Into A Devout Hindu Before Elections

Amid the ongoing political crisis in Nepal, Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli, a self-proclaimed atheist and communist for five decades, has turned a 'devout Hindu' as the ongoing campaign to dislodge him gains momentum in the Himalayan nation. The Nepali PM has been trying to project his image as a 'devout Hindu' in the Himalayan country where around 85 per cent of the population is Hindu. The development reportedly comes as Nepal Communist Party-Maoist Centre (NCP-MC) is preparing to formally withdraw its support to the Oli government and move a no-trust motion in the House of Representatives. The NCP-MC is also seeking support of all other opposition parties to topple the Oli government. Meanwhile, Oli is said to be expelling dissidents MPs from the ruling Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML) in phases and batches, so that their number is less than 40 per cent of the total strength required to be qualified as a “division”, as per the Nepali Constitution. The Nepali PM on Tuesday (20 April) spent a substantial time in “worship and bhajan” at his official residence. Three newly built idols of Lord Ram, Mata Sita and Lakshman had been brought at the Nepali PM's residence before their ceremonial installation at Chitwan’s Madi area on Ramnavami.
