Episode 102: Political Churn In Nepal

In the recent weeks, Nepal has witnessed many political changes with Mr Sher Bahadur Deuba replacing Mr KP Sharma Oli as Prime Minister. A new Common Minimum Programme was also launched which touched upon issues relating to national interest, such as the border dispute with India, water resources and unfavourable treaties. To discuss the political and economic implications of these developments and what the future holds for Nepal, we spoke to Dr Nischal Pandey, a Non Resident Senior Fellow at ISAS. He is also Director at the Centre for South Asian Studies; and Convener, Consortium of South Asian Think-Tanks Kathmandu, Nepal.
