Politics is all about power game. Nobody can remain in power particularly in a parliamentary democracy where the prime minster has to secure the backing of the majority of the lawmakers.
If s/he loses support of the majority of the lawmakers s/he cannot remain in power no matter whether s/he is popular among the people.
PM KP Oli also had to step down after he lost support of a majority of the lawmakers in the hung parliament.
Since he took the office of prime minister nine months ago Oli did his best to bail the country out of the chaos, economic blockade and prolonged agitation in Tarai-Madhes.
He also tried his best to safeguard the national interest and sovereignty as well as reached a landmark agreement with the northern neighbor for transit and transport in a bid to end over dependency on a single country for trade and transit.
His government presented a fiscal budget that can be the bedrock for economic progress, growth and sustainable self-reliant economy.
Now, the challenges for the new government is to give continuation to the programmes launched by the erstwhile government whose major achievement is to diversify the trade by opening up trade and transit routes to its northern neighbour.

I want to draw the attention of the officials of the Janakpur Municipality towards increasing pollution in the religious city.
Over population and haphazard industrialization, lack of drainage system and awareness among the people about the importance of sanitation and cleanliness are the major causes of pollution.
The municipality does not have any concrete plan of collecting and disposing of the garbage produced in the city area. On the other hand, people throw garbage everywhere; use open space or roadsides to empty their bowel.
Cattle are also seen prowling here and there and old vehicles belch poisonous smoke deteriorating the air quality.
Local hospitals are crowded with people afflicted by pollution, improper sanitation and water logging that acts as a breeding ground for mosquitoes, dengue and Japanese encephalitis.
Janakpurdham is one of the ancient cities in the plains and is also the maternal home of Sita, the wife of Ram.
There are several sarovars (lakes), Hindu monuments and temples that add beauty to the city and surrounding areas. Thousands of people from Nepal and India visit the city during the Sita-Ram Bivaha Panchami.
This city can be developed as one of the Hindu religious sites just like Ayodhya, Mathura and Brindavan, provided that the concerned authority, including the Comprehensive Janakpurdham Development Trust, work sincerely for its overall development.
The budget allocated annually for the development of Janakpurdham must be utilized properly.
