Prime Minister in 2008-09, the Maoist leader performed poorly at home and abroad. This time around, he has promised to do better and also taken some steps in the right direction. However, it is difficult to see how he can resolve his biggest challenge: The Madhesi crisis

Political instability has become the order of the day in Nepal. On an average, no Government in the country lasts for more than a ysear. On August 4, Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal, popularly known as Prachanda, became the Prime Minister of Nepal, after the fall of the nine-month old Government of KP Sharma Oli on July 24. The overwhelming majority of the population in Nepal is satisfied with the change in Government.

Expectations are high that Prachanda will deliver on all those fronts where Oli failed — addressing Madhesi issues, war-era criminal cases against Maoist fighters, implementation of the new Constitution, rehabilitation of earthquake victims, and maintaining a balance in foreign relations vis-à-vis India and China. Only time will show if Prachanda is able to meet these challenges and that too within the fixed time frame of nine months, after which he will have to transfer power to Sher Bahadur Deuba of the Nepali Congress, as per the seven point agreement between the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-MC) and the Nepali Congress.
If Prachanda performs well as Prime Minister, it is likely that the CPN-MC under his leadership will regain its image. During the Constituent Assembly election of 2008, the party had emerged as Nepal’s largest political force but it substantially lost its image and was pushed to the third spot in the Constituent Assembly election of 2013. His failure, on the other hand, will not only weaken his party, but might also invite further political instability in the country.
