Kathmandu [Nepal], May 20 : The rift has widened between Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ and the Opposition’s Nepali Congress after Monday’s vote of confidence.
PM Dahal warned the Nepali Congress that it would pay a heavy price for the obstruction which it continued on Monday as well, attempting to prevent the tabling and moving ahead with the vote of confidence motion.

On Monday, the Nepal House Speaker, Debraj Ghimire, proceeded with the vote of confidence deploying parliamentary marshals to escort the Prime Minister and the leader of the ruling parties.
“I would like to make special reference to the honourable members of the parliament, especially those from the opposition Nepali Congress, you have today done some dreadful things. In Nepal’s history, a Prime Minister who extended his hand time and again and this time as well, the same Prime Minister had attempted to bring you all to the table of talks and dialogue you are obstructing them from taking the vote of confidence. You have presented a negative record in history,” PM Dahal said from the rostrum of parliament after being escorted through the protesting lawmakers of the opposition Congress.
