Prime Minister Oli promotes corruption and tyranny: Bhim Rawal

Former UML Vice Chairman Bhim Rawal has accused Prime Minister Oli of promoting corruption and tyranny.

Addressing a press conference in Kathmandu on Wednesday, Rawal criticized Oli for directing the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority not to file a case against Supreme Court Judge Kumar Regmi and UML Vice Chairman Bishnu Poudel’s son Navin Poudel in the Lalita Niwas land corruption case.

“Did the Commission decide on Oli’s instructions that there should be no case against Regmi and Poudel after the illegally acquired land is returned? Is there a law that pardons theft just because the stolen property is returned?” Rawal asked. Rawal claims that such actions weaken accountability and are abuse of power.

Rawal said that Oli has adopted a policy of arrogance and exclusion, which has led to conflict within the UML. “I became a victim of Oli’s prejudice. “Was this an explanation or a charge sheet?” Rawal asked, saying he had been expelled from the party.

Also, Rawal accused major political parties of causing corruption and foreign interference. Power-hungry leaders are misusing good governance to serve their own interests, he added.

The UML secretariat had expelled leader Rawal from the party, making him no longer even an ordinary member of the party, and suspended two others from party responsibilities for six months, accusing of weakening the party.
